 Chalisa's are prayers consisting of 40 verses, in Hindi language, praising a Hindu God/Goddess. Chalis is a Hindi word meaning 40. A hymn or prayer containing 40 verses is called a Chalisa. Each verse is called a chaupai. Chaupai means 4 legs. Each chaupai has 2 lines. The 2 lines of a chaupai always rhyme. Chaupai is identified by a syllable count 16/16, counted witha value of 1 in case of Hrasva ( short sounding letter) and 2 in case of Dhirga ( long sounding letter). Hindus believe that by reciting a Chalisa with devotion and faith, the blessings of that God/Goddess can be obtained. Chalisas are believed to bring peace and prosperity to a devotee and also relieve on from earthly miseries. Many think that Chalisa are Magic Mantras. It works for those who have the utmost faith and devotion in the God/Goddess being praised. It gives solace to millions and millions of Hindus and others who believe in Hindu Gods. Reciting a Chalisa daily is very good. But if daily recital is not possible, then reciting weekly on a specified day is the next best option. Apart from this, it is also essential to recite the Chalisa on Hindu festival days.
