SRIMATE RAMANUAJYA NAMAHA In Hanuman chalisa we come across a verse which states that "Aura devata chitta na dharayi ,Hanumat se hi sarva sukha karaihi" meaning I will not worship any other God & will get all the pleasures from Hanuman".This does not fit well into srivaishnava siddhantam.Hence is it right to recite Hanuman chalisaa?
