my Hanuman Chalisa

Devdutt Pattanaik often blends mythology with philosophy—I'm curious how he chose to interpret and frame the Chalisa here, and what he hoped readers would take away.

The book offers fresh insights into Hanuman's qualities and stories. I'm wondering if it resonated differently with others who are familiar or new to the Chalisa.

I'm interested in how Pattanaik's approach balances scholarly interpretation with accessible storytelling—does it complement or challenge existing understandings?
