Sri Hanuman Chalisa

[Jahnava Nitai Das]

Sri Hanuman Chalisa is a very powerful prayer composed by the great saint Tulsidas. It is especially effective for the removal of ghosts (preta, bhuta, pisaca, etc.) and the removal of black magic. Daily recital of the Chalisa will bring one the blessings of Sri Hanuman-ji, which leads one to Rama bhakti. For quicker results one should recite the Chalisa in front of a picture of Sri Hanuman-ji. Wherever you keep a picture of Sri Hanuman-ji always keep a picture of Sri Sri Sita-Ramachandra Bhagavan near by as this will please Sri Hanuman-ji and help you advance in your sadhana.
