Abstract The integration of traditional spiritual literature with modern scientific interpretation has recently gained attention in interdisciplinary research. The Hanuman Chalisa, composed by the poet-saint Tulsidas in the 16th century, is one of the most widely recited devotional hymns in Hindu tradition. While primarily considered a spiritual and religious text, several metaphors and descriptions within the Hanuman Chalisa reflect principles that can be interpreted through the lens of material science and physics. This paper explores the possible connections between concepts mentioned in the Hanuman Chalisa
and modern material science phenomena such as strength of materials, energy transfer, structural resilience, and properties of matter. By analyzing specific verses, the study highlights how symbolic descriptions of Hanuman’s strength, transformation, and resilience correspond to scientific ideas including elasticity, structural integrity, energy dynamics, and molecular stability. The paper aims to bridge ancient philosophical insights with modern scientific understanding, promoting interdisciplinary dialogue between traditional knowledge systems and contemporary material science.
Keywords Material science, Hanuman Chalisa, Indian knowledge systems, physics interpretation, strength of materials, energy transformation.
