The 40 verses should be chanted for 40 days to have one`s prayers answered and to gain immense merit. There is a special reason for chanting Hanuman Chalisa. It is said that an army of monkeys menaced Delhi as soon as Tulsidas finished his ode and recited the same. Tulsi Das is thought to have written the magnificent verses of the Hanuman Chalisa in that prison. As a result, he was imprisoned by Aurangzeb. The poet ingeniously replied that seeing Rama was not possible without true devotion. The emperor mocked Tulsidas and challenged him to show the lord to him. Saint Tulsidas says that whoever chants Hanuman Chalisa will attract the infinite grace of Lord Hanuman.
Chalisa means forty and this famous composition has 40 verses in praise of Hanuman. It is believed that Tulsidas composed Hanuman Chalisa in a state of Samadhi in a kumbh mela in Haridwar. Tulsidas is considered to be an incarnation of Saint Valmiki. Hanuman Chalisa is a poetic composition of the great saint Goswami Tulsidas.
