Hail Hanuman, great wisdom’s ocean The three worlds glow with your light and devotion. The Hanuman Chalisa is one of the best-loved hymns and poems of all time. Many millions recite it by heart—in times of joy or sorrow, success or distress, and when they are in need of courage. Its words and music are designed to lift the spirits of both the believer and non-believer. Vikram Seth—as acclaimed and popular a poet as he is a novelist—spent some years translating this beloved classic into English, in rhyme and metre. The result is a flawless translation which has the magical incantatory quality of the original Awadhi. Millions can now recite The Hanuman Chalisa in English. This elegant bilingual edition has the original verses in Devanagari and Roman script alongside the English translations. Review: Beautifully written - Vikram Seth is a genius. I wish he wrote more books in verse. The Golden Gate is one of my favorite books and I have read it many times. The Hanuman Chalisa, has been beautifully translated in Seth's inimitable words I loved it. I just wish it was longer. Much longer. Review: Brilliant interpretation - It's an impertinence to review a work of a great poet and novelist such as Mr.Vikram Seth.I believe this book could be an asset to those who are not introduced to the original text and the language it's written in.

Almost singable to the most popular tune of hanuman chalisa.
No one else but Vikram Seth could translate the Hanuman Chalisa with so much precision. He has a flair for poetry that is phenomenal. By no means easy the poet has so meticulously kept intact the essence of the original.
