Strength" by many in Hinduism, He is one of the seven “Chiranjeevi” which
means "The Immortal", Chiranjivis are seven immortal living beings in
Hinduism and will remain alive on Earth until the end of Kalyuga. One can see huge
crowd gathering in the Hanuman temples across the country on Tuesdays and Saturdays, as Hanuman was born on Tuesday on a full moon day of the month, chaithra
and Saturday is considered to be the day of Shani Dev, while Lord Hanuman was
searching for Goddess Sita, it is known that Hanuman rescued Shani dev from
Ravan's Hold and as a gesture Shani Dev gave a boon that Lord Hanuman and his
devotees will be exempted from all Shani Dev's adverse effects.

The Crux of the above Shlok is that Lord Hanuman can convert
the “asathya” to “sathya” which means "impossible" to "possible"

where Goddess Sita was held captive, Ashok Vatika was a place
of high security in the kingdom of Ravan where even air could not enter that's why it is said that Lord Hanuman can
convert the “asathya” to “sathya”("impossible" to "possible")
It is known that Tulsi Das supposedly wrote beautiful verses
of the Hanuman Chalisa in the prison. There was an instance when Tulsi Das went to meet a Moghul Emperor in
Delhi when he had a vision of God Sri Ram in Gokul (Sri Krishna Birthplace).
The Emperor challenged Tulsi Das to show Sri Rama to him to which he replied
that it is not possible without true devotion towards Rama and he was
imprisoned by the emperor, it is said
that after the completion of the Hanuman Chalisa in prison, an army of monkeys
attacked the city, The king and his forces were unsuccessful to control the
monkeys and urged tulsi das to intervene realizing that the monkey menace was
out of the wrath of the Monkey God, Hanuman. it is said that the monkeys
stopped their mischiefs immediately after Tulsi Das was free from the Jail.
In Hinduism, it is a very popular belief that chanting the
Hanuman Chalisa invokes Lord Hanuman's intervention in serious problems, including
those suffering from evil spirits, and other claim made by Tulsi das in Hanuman
Chalisa includes that whoever chants it with full devotion towards Hanuman,
will have Hanuman's grace and blessings.
