The Hanuman Chalisa – Translated and Explained

Love is the nirvana of the buddha and the samadhi of the yogi. It is the miraculous power of Hanuman, devotee of the hermit king, Rama.

A poem of love and devotion, dedicated to the mighty hero and monkey-god, Hanuman and to his Guru and God: Rama. The poem is replete with praises for his supernatural prowess, his incredulous strength and intelligence, his childlike charm and cunning, and above all for his love and desire to serve Rama, the hermit king of Ayodhya.

This ancient poem, consists of 43 verses, describing a part of the lives of Sri Rama (the perfect indwelling spirit) and Hanumana (prana or the life force) son of the wind god, his devoted disciple and servant.He serves not out of necessity, but from choice, from love. For prana finds its fulfilment only in the perfection of the indwelling spirit. While we spend our lifetime pursuing illusions upon illusions, intoxicated by our own selves as well as the world around us, our prana grows weaker and weaker. But mighty Hanuman, growing from strength to strength, remains exclusively in service of the perfect Rama.

The poem speaks of three types of beings, their places in the world and their relationships with each other.

The three being: humans, demons and between the two are all the others, called the monkeys. All three types have divine and unlimited potential, with the monkeys having the most difficult access to this potential. Humans are those who follow dharma or righteousness i.e. strive to rise above the instinctive nature and succeed, in howsoever small measures. Demons, those who strive for the same and succeed in greater measure than the humans, which gives them superhuman skills. But the ensuing power intoxicates them and instead of freeing them, buries them deeper in the pursuits of the primal brain.

In between we have the monkeys, also a metaphor for the restless mind. A mind that can never rest on anything, like a monkey jumping from branch to branch. It is far easier to capture their attention and domesticate them than the humans or the demons. This limitation lies not in their bodies, but in their forever distracted minds.

Ancient India has always laid more emphasis on the mind than on the body. From this research and years of dedication were born the paths of yoga and vedanta. Recently the west has started to devote a lot of research to the mind, through neuroscience, psychiatry and psychology among other fields.

Ancient epics, myths, legends, poems and stories, explain the mind and its mysteries in a deep and profound manner. They are often woven into the everyday tapestry of social life, so much so that they have naturally lived in peoples hearts and minds since the past thousands of years and are often considered folklore.

One such text is the Hanuman Chalisa, dedicated to the very popular monkey god, Hanuman.

Being a text of devotion and love, it is often dismissed by the more rational as a story about magical impossible people, creatures and events. But it so much more than that. The poem speaks eloquently about the unconditional love of a disciple for his teacher, of a devotee for his god.

The science of yoga devised four paths towards enlightenment, for the different character traits that humans possess. Devotion which is one of them, is said to be the fastest and safest path. Often we admire someone who we see as perfect. They may possess qualities and virtues we would like to have and that admiration naturally blossoms into love and devotion.

The poem starts with a prayer to the sacred dust that lies at the feet of such an enlightened being: Rama – Hanuman’s god and guru. So pure and virtuous is Rama, that even the dust at his feet, says Hanuman, has the potency to clear the disturbed mind, turning it into a perfect mirror reflecting only the divine.

It is said that the very intelligent and perceptive monkey Hanuman recognises Rama’s divinity the moment he sets eyes on him in the forest. Rama, known as purushottam or the perfect man is the very personification of dharma (righteousness). Hanuman recognising this, surrenders his entire life to his service in that very instant, his heart overflowing with love.

Unmatched in strength, and full of divine attributes himself, Hanuman fights Rama’s battles, leaps across the ocean, carries a mountain of sacred healing herbs from the Himalayas to the south of the country, and above all, locates Rama’s estranged wife Sita, to whom he becomes Rama's messenger. These are just some of his feats. Highly popular in his native country, there are thousands of temples dedicated to him across the length and breadth of the country and far beyond, in Thailand, Indonesia, Burma etc.

In this poem, the path of love or Bhakti Yoga is glorified over all other paths towards enlightenment. All other paths require the perfection of techniques and many hours and years spent in practise. But love requires no such thing. It is sufficient unto itself and comes naturally to every being. True love is unconditional love, expecting nothing in return. So great is the power of Hanuman’s love that it outlives even the avatar’s themselves. While avatars born like Rama and Krishna, must return to their heavenly abodes once their work on earth is done, Hanuman is a chiranjeevi or immortal.

Legend says that he can still be seen attending spiritual gatherings where the name of Rama is sung. A special place is always reserved for him. For nothing outlives love as all else faces decay and must perish. But love being the very nature and source of the cosmos is eternal. It needs no nurturing, nor sustenance, instead it nurtures and sustains, asking for nothing in return.

Being desireless is what gives Hanuman his magical powers and strength. All human action, is geared toward the satisfying of desire, whether done consciously or unconsciously. Desire, a tenacious mistress remains forever dissatisfied, forever demanding, thus consuming life relentlessly.

Yet there is another path few are able to see. That of sublimating desire. Where nothing else but love is desired. It is the mighty hero’s path. Only for him or her who has conquered the senses and gone beyond their intoxication. For love is sufficient unto itself and needs no other sustenance. It is the nirvana of the buddha and the samadhi of the yogi. It is the miraculous power of Hanuman, devotee of the hermit king, Rama.

In honour of Rebuilding being finished, here’s a bunch of tidbits that absolutely happen after it’s end (will I write these up into bonus chapters?????? maybe. I really want to, now, but it takes me months to write things, sooooo for now, here you go!!):

- Naruto absolutely forces Sasuke to visit team Taka’s hideout like a hundred times so he can bug Karin. You know this comic? 100% how it goes down

- Naruto takes to calling Sakura big sister/onee-chan after they come back (Sakura only calls Naruto little brother/otouto when Sasuke isn’t in earshot. But Sasuke’s a sneaky bastard & likes to eavesdrop, so he knows). About a year into it, Sasuke accidentally does it too. Everybody loses their goddamn minds. (It takes about two months after that for Sakura to timidly ask if Sasuke is okay with being called otouto. He says yes [bc Sakura really is like their older sister at this point, and even though it hurts, it’s different hearing it in her voice]. Everybody cries.)

- TAKE YOUR PICK OF:

Naruto attempts to surprise Sasuke by working with Sakura to make his sexy no jutsu able to carry a child. Naruto is terrible at hiding secrets he’s actually excited about, so Sasuke knows something’s up immediately. It takes him a month to get impatient enough to eavesdrop on them. Naruto leaves the room to find a stock-still Sasuke, frozen, in front of the door. Naruto’s afraid that he’s mad.

He’s not. (Everybody cries).

OR:

An orphanage is built on the Uchiha grounds; Naruto takes to being there during a lot of his free time (so, naturally, so does Sasuke). Naruto clicks with all of the kids no problem. They love him. He’s like a real life superhero. Naruto is pretty much mobbed by the kids every time he comes. Sasuke stays back, watching & working. One little girl keeps sitting beside him. She never says much, but she keeps following him around. Sasuke doesn’t mind her so much; she’s quiet & studious & they talk sometimes. He asks her why she isn’t hanging out with Naruto, like the other kids. She says she feels safe with Sasuke. Sasuke asks why. She says: “The village chose Naruto-sama, but Naruto-sama chose you.” & goes right back to colouring. Naruto notices they hang out a lot & always makes a point to bring her up. It takes Sasuke like another month before he finally grabs the paperwork for adopting her. He asks her before he asks Naruto. She cries. Naruto is like “what happened????” She hugs him & calls him dad/otou-san. Sasuke holds up the paperwork (kinda angry that she blew his cover but more terrified that Naruto would say no). Everybody cries.

Obviously Naruto says yes (he had gotten the paperwork ages ago, too, but kept getting too nervous to bring it up to Sasuke).

- Sasuke comes home one day to find Sakura sitting at Naruto’s feet, getting her hair braided. Sakura calls them “dad lessons”. The first time Naruto does a french braid right, he doesn’t shut up about it for the rest of the day. (Sasuke does it on the first try. Naruto is very bitter.)

Sasuke starts finding little braids in his hair when he wakes up. He keeps them, sometimes (Naruto gets really excited when he does. Sasuke pretends not to notice). Blame jasu for me loving braids in Sasuke’s hair honestly

- Part of the dad lessons involve Sakura teaching Naruto lullabies and children’s stories that he never got to learn. After Sasuke starts sitting in on the lessons, it takes him about a month to start contributing with some of his own.

It leads to way more of Sasuke talking about his family - little things, like the cake his mom would make every winter. Naruto spends years trying to recreate it (even though Sasuke really had no idea what the recipe was or how to make it); he gets it, eventually (because Naruto never gives up). Sasuke cries. Naruto cries bc Sasuke cries. (Everybody is always crying)

- Sakura is their child’s godmother. She becomes Aunty/Oba-san pretty quickly. Kakashi is acts very disgruntled about being Grandpa/Oji-chan (but he secretly loves it). Iruka makes no secret about how much he loves it. They all babysit all the time.

- The front yard of their house turns into a garden. Except it’s tomatoes. All tomatoes. Every single different kind of tomato there is. Naruto makes it his goal to find out Sasuke’s favourite. (This turns Sasuke into some sort of tomato snob. It’s all very confusing for everyone not involved).

From the Live Stream

One question was left unanswered after the live stream. I hope this person will see the answer here:

Chris Lee​:

“HI Jasu, I LOVE your work! I just wanted to know how you decided what colours to use when you paint? And how do you keep colours fro running together?”

-Thank you so much! ♥ 

To me, deciding the colors while painting comes very naturally. I wouldn’t even say that I decide them, it’s almost like they decide themselves for me and then come tell me that “hey, put me here”. But of course, it has taken me years to get to this point and basically I’ve just been practicing a lot, trying different colors and styles together to find out what works the best for me. I advice you to try and try again. And when you’re tired of trying, take a break. Trust me, a simple break sometimes brings all the answers you need.

With watercolor, it’s actually very simple to keep the colors from mixing with each other. They do that only if the surface of the paper is wet. So, If you don’t want the colors to mix, make sure the area you’re painting on is completely dry. It’s as simple as that. Watercolor NEVER spreads to dry places on its own. So, here I’d advice you to practice the mastering of wet and dry. When you can have your painting spot so that it always works for your benefit, (meaning, it’s either dry or wet depending on how you need it to be) you have mastered the art of watercoloring.
