Devotional · Hanuman Chalisa — Tulsidas
श्रीगुरु चरन सरोज रज निज मनु मुकुरु सुधारि । बरनउँ रघुबर बिमल जसु जो दायकु फल चारि ॥ बुद्धिहीन तनु जानिके सुमिरौं पवन कुमार । बल बुधि बिद्या देहु मोहिं हरहु कलेस बिकार ॥ जय हनुमान ज्ञान गुन सागर । जय कपीस तिहुँ लोक उजागर ॥ रामदूत अतुलित बल धामा । अंजनि पुत्र पवनसुत नामा ॥ महाबीर बिक्रम बजरंगी । कुमति निवार सुमति के संगी ॥ कंचन बरन बिराज सुबेसा । कानन कुंडल कुंचित केसा ॥ हाथ बज्र औ ध्वजा बिराजै । काँधे मूँज जनेऊ साजै ॥

With dust from the guru's feet I polish the mirror of my heart, then sing Ram's pure glory. Hanuman, ocean of wisdom, lord of three worlds, give me strength and good sense.
Read the full deep-dive: meaning, word by word →In Niyam, this mantra can stand between you and your most distracting apps — it appears for 15 seconds, in your script with its meaning, each time you open them. Read, breathe, continue. Fourteen days of those pauses become a sadhana.
