Hanuman Chalisa is a worshiping prayer of Lord Hanuman as the model devotee. Lord Hanuman is the incarnation of Lord Shiva and is praised as the god of power, devotion and intelligence. As per spiritual believes, Lord Hanuman is the server of Lord Rama who is the incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Lord Hanuman was born in Kishkindha, now in Chennai which was the kingdom of Vanaras or Monkey. He was the son of monkey king Kesari and monkey queen Anjana. Lord Hanuman was born after the long and steady penance of Lord Shiva conducted by Anjana. Lord Shiva got pleasant with the penance of Anjana and gave her the boon of taking birth from her womb. This boon was carried to Anjana by the god of wind, Lord Pawan. Therefore Lord Hanuman is also known as Pawan putra.
