Hanuman Chalisa

Tulisidas ,was called by the Emperor Akbar in his court,after hearing that Tulsidas had Darshan (had seen) of Lord Rama. Akbar doubted on the truth of Shri Ram’s existence and he asked Tulsidas to show him Shri Ram. Tulsidas replied that Shri Ram gives Darshan (vision) to his Bhagtas (devotees) only ,the Emperor imprisoned him. In the prison Tulsidas wrote Hanuman Chalisa , in the praise of Lord Hanuman, which has 40 verses in Simple Awadhi language. 40 means Chalis i.e. why this poem came to be known as Hanuman Chalisa. After completing Hanuman chalisa a force of monkeys attacked the town of Akbar, the whole force of Akbar could not stop the monkeys from doing mischief in the town ,at last on the advise of wise ministers Akbar released Tulsidas and at a sudden the monkeys stop troubling and left the town.
