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?
