It is not unusual to hear children of all age groups chanting the Hanuman Chalisa. They learn to chant it with ease from their elders because of a magical lilt in the lyrics and a charm about the language known as Awadhi, a dialect of Hindi.
In My First Hanuman Chalisa, the authors and the illustrator have remarked in the opening pages that they were taught the 40 verses of the Chalisa by grandparents or parents. It is true for the rest of us, too.
So far, so good! But what is the chant all about? Mere rhythmic or musical chanting will not answer the question. The publisher, AdiDev Press as well as the authors and the illustrator realized that answering the question appropriately will make the verses meaningful and more enjoyable.
