  • संपूर्ण हनुमान चालीसा, हिंदी

    हनुमान चालीसा की रचना गोस्वामी तुलसीदास ने की थी और इसे भगवान हनुमान का सबसे प्रसिद्ध भजन माना जाता है। यह जीवन की समस्याओं के लिए बहुत शक्तिशाली उपाय माना जाता है |

    मैंने अपने जीवन में भी प्रतिदिन हनुमान चालीसा का जाप करने से बहुत बड़ा लाभ अनुभव किया है |

    हनुमान चालीसा के आरंभ में एक दोहा और अंत में एक दोहा है और बीच में 10 चौपाई या 40 पंक्तियाँ हैं |

    हनुमान चालीसा का पाठ कब करें

    हनुमान चालीसा को किसी भी समय पढ़ा जा सकता है|

    लेकिन यह सलाह दी जाती है कि इसे स्नान करने के बाद और हनुमान भगवान की मूर्ति या तस्वीर के सामने
    बैठ कर पढ़ा जाना चाहिए।

  • Hanuman Chalisa Bhajan with Lyrics and Meaning in English

    All of us have heard or read Hanuman Chalisa but only a few understand it line by line.

    Hence, to help Bhagwan Hanuman’s devotees learn more about him, I have translated the Hanuman Chalisa in three languages, Hindi, English and Odia with the best of my knowledge of Awadhi and Hanuman Chalisa.

    I have referred Gitapress Gorakhpur for the text and Shri Ramabhadra Acharya ji for the meaning. Whenever there is a conflict, all details have been provided.

    Hanuman Chalisa with English Translation

    The chalisa contains two couplets in the beginning and two at the end. Rest(middle part) of the chalisa contains 40 lines or 20 chaupaayis.

    Initial Doha Set

    There are two Dohas in the beginning. And two at the end.

    First Doha (Couplet)

    • श्री गुरु चरण सरोज रज, निज मन मुकुरु सुधारि,
    • बरनऊं रघुबर बिमल जसू, जो दायक फल चारी |
    • Shri Guru Charan Saroj Raj, Nij Mana Mukuru Sudhaari,
    • Barnau Raghubar Bimal Jasu, Jo Daayaku Phal Chaari.

    After cleaning the mirror of my heart with the dust of my guru’s feet.

    Now I am explaining the glory of Raghubar(Shri Ram), which gives me 4 rewards,

    • Dharma(my duties),
    • Artha(wealth),
    • Kama(desires),
    • Moksha (enlightenment).

    Second Doha (Couplet)

    • बुद्धिहीन तनु जानिके, सुमिरौ पवन कुमार,

    • Buddhiheen Tanu Jaanike, Sumirau Pawan Kumaar,
    • Bal, Buddhi, VIdya Dehu Mohey Harahu Kalesh Vikaar.

    You (Hanuman) know that I am just an innocent (lack of knowledge) person. I am meditating for you, oh! Pawan Kumar.

    #NOTE: Hanuman is also called as Pawan Kumar because he was the biological son of Deva Pawan (the god of wind).

    Give me bal (strength), buddhi (wisdom) and vidya (knowledge, skill) and remove all kalesh(problems) from my life.

    The Chaupaayis(Quartets)

    Each chaupaayi is made up of four lines. There are 40 lines which can be divided into 20 chaupaayis.

    About Bhagwan(God) Hanuman and Hanuman Chalisa

    Bhagwan Hanuman is one of the seven eternals who have been blessed to serve the world for 4 Yugas which are Satya Yug, Dwapar Yug, Treta Yuga and Kali Yug.

    He is considered a form of Bhagwan Shiv and is the son of Kesari(father) and Anjana(mother). The deva Pawan Dev (god of wind) is the biological father of Hanuman.

    In his childhood, he was known to have been very close friends with Sugriva (later king of Kishkindha) and in his adult age, he assisted Shri Ram in tracking down Mother Sita and also helped him win the war.

    The Chalisa is written in Doha-Chaupaayi form which means that there would be Doha which has two lines at the beginning and end, with all the verses in the middle written in stanzas of 4 lines called Chaupaayi.

    My Experience with Hanuman Chalisa

    I have been reading Hanuman Chalisa since I was 5 years old and learnt it from my mother who used to recite it to me since I was born.

    My experience with Hanuman Chalisa has been highly relieving and when I have some stress or fatigue. I use it as a form of meditation and it greatly helps to calm me down.

    Hanuman Chalisa also removes problems of all kinds from your lives if you read it with complete devotion.

    Since I have a very rich experience in Braj and Awadhi and grew up reading these literature since the last 20 years, I can definitely provide a much better translation.

    Hanuman Chalisa Origin

    Hanuman Chalisa was written by Goswami Tulsidas around 1575 CE. It was written in a series of 40 verses and hence the name chalisa. The word Chalisa means 40 lines.

  • What is Convalexa in Astrology? Powerful Italian Switch Word For Money in 2024

    During a podcast by Reahit, the term “convalexa” was explained by Dr. Sanjeev Thakur, a well known astrologer who said that repeatedly uttering the term is a remedy for those whose money has been stuck due to any reason.

    According to him uttering this term is suitable for everyone irrespective of their “rashi” or Zodiac sign. He also said that many people were benefitted by chanting these words.

    Origin and History

    The origin of switch words start in the 18th century Europe when exotic stories like the Arabian Nights, such as Alibaba and Aladdin came to the region.

    The origin of switch words might be due to an influence of the switch words used in Alibaba and 40 Bandits. The story had a switch word “Open Sesame” which used to open a secret vault in the mountains.

    Another origin of switch words is presumed to be in James T. Magnan and his book The Secret of Perfect Living, where Magnan described how language acted as a link between conscious and sub-conscious minds. The book was released in early 1900s.

    His book contained several such switch words such as GIGGLE, which could be used to elate your mood.

    Convalexa Meaning

    The root word of convalexa originates from Italian language.

    English

    The origin of the term Convalexa might lie in the Italian word “convalescenza” which means a period of gradual recovery after illness or bad times.

    The word is not a part of Indian Astrology.

    Hindi

    कॉन्वेलेक्सा का मूल शब्द “कॉनवेल्सेंज़ा” है जो इतालवी भाषा से निकला है। इटालियन शब्द “कॉन्वेलेसेन्ज़ा” का अर्थ है बीमारी या बुरे समय के बाद धीरे-धीरे ठीक होने की अवधि। कॉन्वेलेक्सा इस मूल शब्द के एक्सट्रपलेशन द्वारा प्राप्त किया गया है।

    कॉन्वेलेक्सा और कॉन्वेलेसेन्ज़ा दोनों ही भारतीय ज्योतिष का हिस्सा नहीं हैं।

    How Convalexa works?

    Convalexa works by alternating the negative thoughts into positive ones in your subconscious mind. A positive mind is much better suited at looking for opportunities and grabbing them when they come.

Convalexa can be chanted at any time while sitting or doing some routine work. However, the person should make sure that their 100% thoughts are towards the chant.

    Another Italian Switch Word, Prosopiare, which is a switch word for prosperity, should be chanted at the place of work or business.

    According to my experience, the best way of chanting convalexa is:

    1. Sit at a place where no one could disturb you for a few minutes.
    2. Create a positive mind, these switch words work best in a positive mind.
    3. Chant in cycles of 51 times.
    4. While chanting, visualize the outcome and if possible write it in a diary.

    Scientific Explanation

    Switch words are meant to work through your subconscious mind. They affect your subconscious mind to create positive thoughts towards your goals. There have been several scientific studies which show how positive thoughts are related to better outcomes at work, relationships and health.

    The following are a list of Italian Switch Words for specific outcomes.

    Editorial Opinion on Realme C67

    Hii, I am Dhirendra Chandra Das and I have been using the Realme Narzo 50 (midrange phone of Realme Narzo series) mobile phone since June 2022.

    My experiences with Realme phones (Narzo 50) for the last 17 months have been quite good till now. However my old device which both I and my wife use is showing some trouble. My phone switches off automatically. If I get the new phones at a good price, I would also like to exchange with my Realme Narzo 50.

    The camera and smoothness of operation is good and my wife loves the camera. One issue I found with the camera is that it does not auto detect wide angle as in my other phone Samsung M33. If this feature were present, I would have loved this phone.

  • Supreme Court Upholds Amendment of Article 370 by Indian Parliament

    The Supreme Court has decides unanimously that the amendment of the Article 360 by the Narendra Modi-led NDA Government in the Indian Parliament on 5-6 Aug 2019 was valid.

    Article 370 was amended by the Indian Parliament on Aug 05, 2019 to remove all the special powers given to the state of Jammu and Kashmir.

    Summary of the Judgement

    • Power of President to remove Article 370 Valid
      • President did not need anyone’s recommendationswhether State Assembly or Union Govt
    • Elections to be conducted at the earliest and before 30 Sept 2024.
    • Article 370 was temporary provision based on its reading and its historical context.
    • It served two interim arrangements
      • to run the state till the constitution is formed
      • and due to the war scenario
    • Setup of commission to study human rights violations by the state and non-state elements in the Jammu and Kashmir.

    Verbatim Quote of Chief Justice DY Chandrachud

    “We have held that Article 370 is a temporary provision on a reading of the historical context on the basis of which it was included. Article 370 was introduced to serve two purposes.

    First, the transitional purpose, to provide for an interim arrangement until the constituent assembly of the state was formed and could take a decision on the legislative competence of the Union (Central Govt) on matters other than the ones stipulated in the Instrument of Accession and ratify the constitution.

    And second, a temporary purpose and interim arrangement in view of the special circumstances because of the war conditions in the state.

    We have held that a textual reading of the Article 370 also indicates that it is a temporary provision. For this purpose we have referred to the placement of the provision in the Part 21 of The Indian Constitution which deals with Temporary and Transitional Positions. The marginal note to the provision which states temporary provision with respect to the state of Jammu and Kashmir and a reading of Article 370 and 371 by which the state became an integral part of India upon the adoption of the constitution.

    Human Rights Violations

    Justice SK Kaul said that there will be a commission which will study the human rights violations in the state by anyone whether state or non-state actors since 1980.

    Response

    PM Narendra Modi

    The Prime Minister Modi responded by saying that the Supreme Court decision on Article 370 is a constitutional stamp of approval on the decisions taken by Indian Parliament in 2019.

    The PM also said that the current government strives to fulfil the dreams of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh with prosperity and developmental works.

    Today’s decision as per him was not only a judicial validation but also a ray of hope for a brighter future.
