The conclusion

Pawan tanay sankat haran; mangal murthi roop: Ram Lakhan Sita sahit; hridaya basau sur bhoop

My attempt to the composing of Hanuman Chalisa is because of two reasons. One, I wanted to use 7 notes. Second, I wanted composition similar to Bach. Music notes made now for prelude, main stanzas and the conclusion. The prelude, main stanzas and the conclusion all have 7 notes. And the prelude, main stanzas and the conclusion all have point and counter-point style reminding us of German composer Johann Sebastian Bach.

Rendering of Hanuman Chalisa

The conclusion is not rendered vocally. Recording was done prior to composing the conclusion. And I do not have advanced sound mixing software.

I have deep bhakti for Shri Hanumanji. Let there be no doubt at all. All the seven notes are there in the music part. But the rendering vocally may not. This is because I have limitations.

Hanuman Chalisa now made complete. With prelude, main stanzas and the conclusion.I subscribed to Audio Mixer and managed to merge audio files.
