Product Description
Hail Hanuman, great wisdom’s ocean
The three worlds glow with your light and devotion.
The Hanuman Chalisa is one of the best-loved hymns and poems of all time.
Many millions recite it by heart—in times of joy or sorrow, success or distress, and when they are in need of courage. Its words and music are designed to lift the spirits of both the believer and non-believer.
Vikram Seth—as acclaimed and popular a poet as he is a novelist—spent some years translating this beloved classic into English, in rhyme and metre.
The result is a flawless translation which has the magical incantatory quality of the original Awadhi. Millions can now recite The Hanuman Chalisa in English.
This elegant bilingual edition has the original verses in Devanagari and Roman script alongside the English translations. It is a book for a lifetime—to be bought for oneself, and to gift.
