Questions people ask
Which edition are these PDFs?
The Awadhi text is the popular Gita Press, Gorakhpur reading, checked against three Gita Press printings and the mool text of Jagadguru Rambhadracharya's Mahaviri commentary. The meanings are Wisdom's own words, following the traditional reading.
Will they print on A4 paper?
Yes. They are set on US Letter with wide margins, so they print on A4 at the printer's normal "fit" setting with nothing cut off.
How do I print from an iPhone?
Tap a PDF to open it, tap the Share button, then Print. To keep it on the phone for recitation, choose Save to Files or Books instead.
Can I print copies for my temple, satsang or Bal Vihar class?
Yes. Print as many as your group needs. Please keep the line at the foot of each page, so others can find the word-by-word meanings.
Is there a version with the meaning of each word?
The PDFs give the meaning of each line. Word-by-word meanings are on the page for each line, linked from the full text on the Hanuman Chalisa page.
