Lord Hanuman mantras

The God who is devotee first, and a Lord after is Lord Hanuman. He is powerful, protective, full of wisdom, and has unwavering devotion for Lord Ram. He has the ability to remove obstacles from his devotee’s life and give them strength and courage to face the ups and downs of life.
Here we mention the 4 most powerful mantras dedicated to Lord Hanuman.



2/6

​Hanuman Chalisa

The Hanuman Chalisa is without a doubt one of the most well-known and widely recited hymn dedicated to Lord Hanuman. Written by Tulsidas ji in the 16th century, this forty-verse prayer describes and elaborates upon Lord Hanuman's virtues, strength, and devotion to Lord Rama. Each verse of the Hanuman Chalisa is about a certain quality of Lord Hanuman's nature and his divine deeds.
Reciting the Hanuman Chalisa is believed to bring peace of mind, removes all fears from life, and gives protection from negative energies.

3/6

​Bajrang Baan

The Bajrang Baan is not a very well-known or much recited hymn dedicated to Lord Hanuman. Why is it not recited as much as Hanuman Chalisa? It is considered to be a powerful prayer where the devotee puts Lord Hanuman under Lord Ram’s oath and forces him to do something. Words like ‘Shapath’ and ‘Ram Duhai’ are seen as a negative calling and it is not considered ethical to force a God into doing something for their God.
But, people who do chant the Bajrang Baan, recite it to remove obstacles, ward off evil, and get help in extreme situations. The Bajrang Baan is like a shield that protects the devotees and gives them strength, courage, and the ability to win against all odds.

4/6

​Hanuman Bahuk

The Hanuman Bahuk is a unique hymn that is also said to be composed by Tulsidas ji. It is said that Tulsidas ji himself asked for Lord Hanuman's help to cure his physical ailments and thus was the Hanuman Bahuk written.
A popular legend says that one time Tulsidas ji experienced excruciating pain in his arm and none of the medicines could help ease the pain. Tired and dejected, he turned to Lord Hanuman who guided him to write the Hanuman Bahuk, which will help people solve their chronic diseases and physical illnesses. As Tulsidas ji wrote the Bahuk and and then recited it he felt his pain going away and it completely vanished till he did his third or fourth recitation.

5/6

​Panchmukhi Hanuman Kavacham

The Panchmukhi Hanuman Kavacham is a powerful and protective prayer dedicated to Lord Hanuman in his Panchmukhi form. Each face represents a different aspect of Lord Hanuman and gives protection and blessings to the devotees in various areas of life.
This kavacham, or shield, is often recited for protection from physical, mental, and spiritual dangers.
The five faces of Panchmukhi Hanuman are - Lord Hanuman, Lord Narasimha, Lord Garuda, Lord Varaha, and Lord Hayagriva.

6/6

​The chiranjeevi who protects all

Lord Hanuman is a Chiranjeevi, which means he is an immortal being, blessed to live until the end of the current age, the Kaliyug. Lord Hanuman was granted the boon of immortality by lord Ram to look over the Universe after he proceeds back to his Loka and so that he can keep an eye on his devotees in the form of Lord Hanuman.
It is said that invoking Lord Hanuman’s energy through powerful hymns and mantras can help devotees get his blessings, his guidance, and his protection.
