Reciting or hymns of Hanuman Chalisa is considered to be powerful. It has the strength that can drive away evils and bring confidence in a person. We pray to him for giving us physical and mental strength, toward off the negative/evil influences from our lives, to obliterate our timidity/cowardice and to sharpen our intellect. We pray to Lord Hanuman with a pure heart and an unshakeable faith. Hanuman chalisa is best recited in the mornings and evenings.While reciting the same, it is better to maintain personal hygiene.
