The Hanuman Chalisa: literally Forty chaupais on Hanuman) is a Hindu devotional hymn (stotra) addressed to Lord Hanuman. It is traditionally believed to have been authored by 16th-century poet Tulsidas in the Awadhi language from the Ramcharitmanas. The word “chālīsā” is derived from “chālīs”, which means the number forty in Hindi, as the Hanuman Chalisa has 40 verses.

The Hanuman Chalisa prayer mentions about the distance between the Sun and Earth in 15th century, before modern science could find the distance in 19th century: It states: “जुग सहस्र जोजन पर भानू।

It does mean that Hanuman has travelled a far distance such as Yug x Sahasra x Yojana to meet Bhanu (Sun)

According to ancient calculations,

1 Yug = 12,000 years

1 Sahasra = 1,000

1 Yojana = 8 Miles

Yug x Sahasra x Yojana = 12,000 x 1,000 x 8 miles = 96,000,000 miles

Where 1 mile = 1.6 Kilometers

96,000,000 miles x 1.6 kilometers = 1,536,000,000 Kilometers to Sun.

The average distance from the earth to the sun is 92,955,807 miles (149,597,870.691 km) according to modern science.

Lord Hanuman was born on the Anjaneri mountain. His mother Anjana was an apsara who was born on earth due to a curse. The Valmiki Ramayana states that his father Kesari was the son of Brihaspati, he was the King of a place named Sumeru. Anjana performed intense prayers to Shiva to get a child. By Shiva’s direction, Vayu transferred his male energy to Anjana’s womb. Accordingly, Hanuman is identified as the son of the Vayu.
