As someone who enjoys diversity in literature and content across genres, Shri Hanuman Chalisa from Rekhta Books was a refreshing and enriching read. Growing up watching Hanuman on DD and later almost memorizing the Chalisa through Bollywood films, this book gave me a chance to explore its deeper meaning through the actual scripts.
What makes this edition stand out is its multilingual approach—featuring Sanskrit, Hindi, Roman, English, and Urdu—making it accessible to a wide audience. The translations by Sanjiv Saraf (English) and Farhat Ehsas (Urdu) further enhance its depth, making it a truly inclusive work across languages and generations. I personally chose to read it in English, Urdu, and especially Roman script, allowing me to verbalize the text fully. To my astonishment, I found myself reciting it in tune—just as I had heard in Shankar Mahadevan’s breathtaking breathless rendition!
The hardcover print edition is of excellent quality—handy, durable, and well-designed. The cover itself is quite intriguing, adding to the book’s appeal. Another standout feature is the beautifully designed AI-generated graphics, which make the book even more engaging, especially for younger readers. And for those who want to experience Hanuman Chalisa in different musical styles, the book includes QR codes at the end to listen to three distinct versions—a perfect way to immerse yourself in its rhythm and meaning.
