Lie About Hanuman Chalisa

Detailed Investigation

Now let's see what Verse means as per Gita Press, 

《Yug Sahastra Yojana Par Bhanu, Leelyo Tahi Madhur Pahl Jaanu.》

Meaning: "The Sun was at an immensely great distance, yet Hanuman reached it effortlessly,  mistaking it for a sweet fruit"

The focus of the verse is Hanuman Ji's Divine strength and fearlessness.

Linguistc Analysis                         

1. Yuga (Yug)                                                In Sanskrit and Awadhi literature, the word YUG commonly refers to an age, era or vast period of time. Although it can sometimes represent a numerical value in specific cosmological contexts, there is no indication that Tulsidas intended it as a mathematical constant in this verse.

2. Sahastra                                                While Sahastra literally means 1,000 classical Sanskrit language frequently uses it figuratively to mean countless, innumerable or extremely large.

3. Yojana                                                        A Yojana was an ancient unit of distance, but its exact value varied considerably across different historical periods and texts. Estimates range from roughly 5 to 9 miles, meaning there was never a universally accepted fixed value.

4. Per Bhanu                                              Per = Far Away, beyond,                            Bhanu = The Sun .........that's all.          Thus, the phrase simply conveys that SUN was very far away.        

No Math, All Lie.

Hanuman Chalisa is written by Tulsidas ji telling about Hanuman ji's Kirti, not for education nor as mathematical equations.
