The media could not be loaded. The book is a unique piece of work, something which will push ideals of Hinduism deeper into English speaking countries. The English translation maintains the rhytm of Hanuman chalisa, when read in English, the rhyming pattern in writing makes this possible.

Beautiful translation rendered poetically by Vikram Seth, truly a unique way to understand and feel the essence of the 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.
