Yatra Yatra Raghunatha Kirtanam
yatra yatra raghunāthakīrtanam
यत्र यत्र रघुनाथकीर्तनं तत्र तत्र कृतमस्तकाञ्जलिम् । बाष्पपारिपूर्णलोचनं मारुतिं नमत राक्षसान्तकम् ॥
yatra yatra raghunāthakīrtanaṁ tatra tatra kṛtamastakāñjalim । bāṣpapāripūrṇalocanaṁ mārutim namata rākṣasāntakam ॥
Meaning
Wherever the glory of Rama is sung, Hanuman is there with folded hands and eyes brimming with tears — bow to the destroyer of demons, son of the wind.
Why recite it
The closing verse of the Chalisa — recited to feel Hanuman present wherever Rama is remembered.
