“Nasa disease hai sub pira, jatp constant Hanumat Beera…”
These lines of Hanuman Chalisa are not only associated with religious faith, but also have a positive effect on our body and mind from scientific point of view. Neurologist Dr. Shweta Adatiya has told about the scientific benefits of reading Hanuman Chalisa on her YouTube channel. According to him, it is not just a religious book, but also an effective mental and physical exercise, which balances the heart, mind and whole nervous system.
How is Hanuman Chalisa beneficial?
1. Hanuman Chalisa = compound breeding
According to Dr. Shweta, reading Hanuman Chalisa is a type of ‘compound breathing’. By reading it properly, the body has an effect like pranayama, which reduces stress and fear. Scientific researches have found that it affects the limbic system (which controls our emotions and memory), which reduces anxiety and stress.
2. Heart rate and nervous system impact
While reading Hanuman Chalisa, the speed of the breath is controlled, which improves heart rate variability. For example, when you speak “Jai Hanuman Gyan Guna Sagar”, the breath goes in. The breath stops while saying “Jai Kapis Tihu Loka Ujadar”. With this process, the functioning of the body is balanced and the communication of oxygen is better.
3. Vegas activates nerve
Vagus nerve controls the digestive system, nervous system and hormonal balance in our body. This nerve is active by reading Hanuman Chalisa, which improves the health of the digestive system, heart and brain. It reduces the cortisol of stress, which relieves anxiety and mental stress.
4. I get benefits from both reading and listening
According to scientific researches, both Hanuman Chalisa reading and hearing has a positive effect on the brain. If it is read quickly, there is no benefit. It is more beneficial to read it with a calm mind, focusing on breath. Experimental studies saw that after reading Hanuman Chalisa, the heart rate and brain waves improved.
