Hanuman Chalisa is a popular devotional hymn dedicated to Lord Hanuman. It was said to have been written by the poet Tulsidas, when he was imprisoned ages ago. Even today, Lord Hanuman is worshipped by young and old alike. Many people read the Hanuman Chalisa regularly, or listen to the varied musical renditions that add a beautiful melodious tinge to the poem. My First Hanuman Chalisa by Chitwan Mittal and Sarita Saraf, with gorgeous illustrations by Aparajitha Vasudev is an exceptional offering by Independent children’s book publisher AdiDev Press. It is a translation that kids (and adults!) can read, understand and enjoy.
