I am not a scholar or fluent in Hindi or Sanskrit, so I asked some friends to help me. These translations are based, for the most part, on the work of Sri Dr. Ramdas Lamb, with some further help from Sri Shyam Das and Sri Dr. Robert Svoboda. Any inaccuracies are due to my limited understanding…[ Sri Hanuman Chaleesa / Gate Of Sweet Nectar Lyrics on http://www.lyricsmania.com/ ]
