During the Ashvatha Maruti Pujan in year 1997, P.P. BAPU had mentioned that the recitation of Hanuman Chalisa for 108 times for the period of one month from Vat Pournima to Ashad Pournima i.e. Guru Pournima from one dawn to the next, one will yield the following benefits :
1) You get protection against any evil from that day until the entire of the next year ; you are not affected in any way from the evil,
2) Your faith is transformed into steadfast faith and patience into confidence during these thirty days.
This year Vatpournima is on Thursday, 12th June and Guru Pournima is on Saturday,12th July. The period of one month from Vat Pournima to Guru Pournima is known as 'Shree Guru Charan Maas' (Maas means Month)
We can select any one day starting from 12th June to 12th July for recitation of Hanuman Chalisa for 108 times.
This can be done in the entire 24 hours of the day and not required to do at a single stretch sitting. One may chant it in groups of 27 times (4 sets) or 36 times (3 sets) or 54 times (2 sets) or 108 times continuously, but must ensure that the chanting is completed in a day.
Avoid doing chanting on Amavas Day ( No Moon night ) i.e. on 27th June , as on this day it will be difficult to concentrate properly and complete it 108 times for average human being, as the negative forces are at its peak.
