Hanuman Chalisa with meanings

Sri Hanuman Chalisa

The Hanuman Chalisa is one of the most sacred books of Indian Mythology. It describes the devotion of the monkey hero Shri Hanuman toward his friend, the God Shri Ram. Shri Hanuman helped Shri Ram in the battle to kill the evil demon king Ravana, who had kidnapped Rama's beautiful, chaste wife, Sita. Shri Hanuman was the known for his courage, strength, loyalty, humility and devotion. Hanuman was able to leap across the ocean, carry a mountain, and leap up to the sun and pluck it from the sky. He had the strength to enter the kingdom of Ravana and turn the city into ashes, but could also make himself small and meek to comfort a frightened Sita. He with his huge army of monkey people aided the victory of good over evil. The Chalisa is forty verses of prayer to Hanuman, with two introductory paragraphs and a concluding paragraph.

India - Land of Gods

India - Land of Gods

There are 330 million Gods and Goddesses in Hindu mythology and goddess in hinduism , and include the chief gods Shiva, Vishnu and the Goddess Shakti as well as a myriad of local community gods. Devotion to these various deities is based primarily on one's region and needs, and even when devotion is given to only one, the existence of others is acknowledged. Hindu worship virtually always involves sculptures and images, to which offerings are made and rituals are performed.

Hindus believe in one God, Brahman, who was the originator of everything. They believe that his work is now done, however, and the task of creating, maintaining and destroying the world is up to three main gods, Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, and other lesser gods. Hindus worship various gods depending on the characteristics they wish to emulate and according to their needs.

In the same way, the SHIV-TALISMAN should also be placed on the CHAUKI. Shiv-Diety, may be of any metal, stone, wood or clay. It is convenient to have an inscribed Talisman on a copper-plate, otherwise it can be drawn on a bark of birch tree by white sandal.
