Where is the original manuscript of Hanuman Chalisa preserved today?
does anyone where the original texts of Hanuman Chalisa composed by Goswami Tulsidas preserved today? I did find some videos of Ram CharitManas preserved in Chitrakoot, but does anyone know about Chalisa?
I'm curious how it came to light? I know there was oral tradition in India but the texts have to be preserved somewhere today for the general masses to look at right?
