Hanuman Mantra, by Sashidharan Komandur
मनोजवं मारुततुल्यवेगम् जितेन्द्रियं बुद्धिमताम् वरिष्ठम्।
वातात्मजं वानरयूथमुख्यं श्रीरामदूतं शरणं प्रपद्ये॥
manojavaṁ mārutatulyavegam jitendriyaṁ buddhimatām variṣṭham |vātātmajaṁ vānarayūthamukhyaṁ śrīrāmadūtaṁ śaraṇaṁ prapadye ||
Meaning: I surrender to Hanuman, the messenger of Lord Rama, whose speed is as swift as the mind and as swift as the wind. Who has controlled his sense organs and is the most intelligent among the intelligent ones; who is the son of vayu and the chief of the monkey tribe.
Hanuman (हनुमान्), known also as ‘Anjaneya’, is one of the most important personalities in the epic, the Ramayana. He is a vanara who aided Lord Rama (an avatar of Vishnu) in rescuing His Consort, Sita, from the Rakshasa king Ravana. He symbolizes the pinnacle of bhakti, and is considered to be the eleventh Rudra avatar of Lord Shiva. He is more well-known as the (spiritual) Son of Vayu deva, the Hindu deity of the wind.
Hanuman is the epitome of wisdom, brahmacharya, bhakti (devotion/faith), valor, righteousness and strength. He is symbolized in Hinduism for his unwavering dedication to righteousness, unstinting performance of entrusted duties, and unfailing talents in serving his chosen master. His indispensable role in reuniting Rama with Sita is likened by some to that of a teacher helping an individual soul realize the divine. While the uninitiated may find it odd to worship “a monkey”, to believers, the idea is to revere and worship him for the astounding attributes he represents — attributes that even most humans find impossible to practice.
There is no blessing that he cannot bestow — Sita granted him the power to bestow the eight siddhis and nine types of wealth on others. However, it is believed that these pale when compared to the greatest boon one can receive from Hanuman — the uplifting spiritual qualities that Hanuman himself is known for. It is also held that while Rama did what he believed to be dharma, Hanuman acts out of compassion. He is easily reachable — just by chanting the name ‘Ram’.

GLORY TO ALL BHAKTAS
Salutations and highest obeisance to Dada Hanumanji Maharaj:
Hail to Lord Hanumantha: Highest praise: Here is a beautiful shloka that is accompanied to the Hanumantha pujan.
“Yatra yatra raghunaatha Keerttanam tatra tatra kritam hastaka anjalim |
bhaashpaa Vaari paripoorna lOccanam maaruttim namata raakshasa antakam ||”
Sri AanjanEya Mahaveera Hanumantha is believed to have been born in the month of Maargazhi in the constellation of Moolam and on the AmavAsya day. This is also believed to be the birthday of another RAma Bhakta viz., BhadrAchala RAmdas. In some places the birth of AanjanEya is celebrated on the PourNami day in the month of Chaitra.The glory of Sri MahaVeera Hanumantha is so unique that it is beyond all attempts to recount. “Sri Hanumat Sthuti” portrays him as the very gem in the garland of the great epic of Srimad Ramayana - “RaamAyaNa MahA Maala Ratnam”.
A Dhyana Slokam says that crossing the ocean, Aanjaneya met Sri Sita in the
AshOka Vana and took the fire of her grief and used that fire itself to burn
down Lanka.
ullanghya sindhoh salilam saleelam yah Sokavahnim janakaatmajaayaah |
Aadhaaya tEnaiva dadaaha lankaam namaami tam praanjalirAnjaneyam ||
The Raakshasas bandaged AanjanEya’s tail with ropes and rags and set fire to
it. The conflagration ravaged the entire Lanka city except AshOkavana where
Sri Sita was held prisoner. The fire did not burn AanjanEya’s tail even though
it gutted the buildings. On the other hand, he felt a cool, soothing sensation,
thanks to the grace of Sri Sita.
The SlOka “VaidEhi Sahitam…” states that even though he himself was seated
on his “Veeraasana” in the golden ManDapa and even though he was surrounded by Bharata, LakshmaNa, Satrugna and the Munis, it was in the immediate presence of AanjanEya that Sri Raama expounded JnAna Upadesa.
Vaidehi sahitam suradrumatale haimE mahaa mandapE madhyE pushpakamaasanE maNimayE veeraasanE susthitam|
agrE vaacayati prabhanjana sute tattvam munibhyah param
vyaakhyaantam bharataadibhih parivritam raamam bhaje Syaamalam ||
In fact, Lord Raama praises him as “Nava VyaakaraNa Vedthaa”- master of all
the nine VyakaraNas. HanumAntha {DADA} is considered an ideal Guru –“Hanumath -Samena GuruNaa” Hence, the mantra is a praise by Sri Rama Lord:
Aum ManOjavam maaruta tulyavEgam jitEndriyam buddhimataam varishTham |
vaataatmajam vaanarayuta mukhyam SrIraama dootam Sirasaa namaami ||
manOjavam maaruta tulyavEgam - His Supersonic speed is evidenced in his
flying over the seas to reach Lanka, across the land and mountains on his reach to fetch Sanjeevi malai.’JitEndriyam’ - His celibacy and control over senses is evidenced in his turning a blind eye to the womenfolk sleeping in voluptuous postures as he strolled RaavaNaa’s harem in search of Sri Sita before he landed at AshOka Vana.’Buddhimataam varishTham - His being the foremost among the intelligent is best described in Kambar’s words - “SOLLIN SELVAN” - One possessed of wealth in oratory - an expression which far surpasses honorifics like ‘silvertongued’ and ‘golden tongued’ oratory (attributed to mere mortals!). In fact,Sri Sita eulogizes Hanuman as the only one endowed with all the eight lakshanas of a Super-intelligent person - vide Yuddha Khandam, Sargam116 Verse 27- in which she says:
“Buddhyaa hi ashtaangayaa yuktam tvamEva arhasi bhaashithum |
SlaaghaneeyO anilasya tvam putrah parama dhaarmikah ||”
The eight lakshaNaas are as follows:
1. Understanding what others say
2. Remembering what has been thus understood
3. Retrieving the information as and when required
4. Explaining to others in an appropriate manner with choice use of words
5. Inferring the viewpoints of others by intelligent guess
6. Providing ready answers in reply to such viewpoints
7. Understanding the inner and subtle meanings implied in such
expressions
8. Grasping the real interpretations of what is said Hanuman was a master
non-parallel in all these lakshaNaas.
WHAT HANUMAN CAN GRANT?
What one can achieve by mere remembrance of Hanumaan is portrayed in the
following SlOka:
“Buddhir balam yaSO dhairyam nirbhayatvam arOgathaa |
ajaaDyam vaak paTutvam ca hanumat smaraNaat bhavEt||
Wisdom, Strength, Fame, Valor, Fearlessness, Health, Determination, Gift of
the gab - in short, all that one can wish for can be achieved by anyone
meditating on Hanumaan.
If ever there is one who is unsurpassed in JnAnam, Balam, Bhakti, Valor, Fame,
Service, Modesty etc- it is the Svarupa of Hanumaan.
Astrologically whosoever recites the HANUMAN CHALISA eleven times daily, without any conditions or expectations, will receive the above boon from LORD HANUMANTHA and at the time of death will accomplish MOKSHA into the deva loka. Recital of HANUMAN CHALISA is very divinely significant to our children today especially because it protects the integrity and purity of their character. Astrologically, those who wish to recite the Hanumantha mantra:
Aum Shree Raama Duttayeh Hreem Hraum Hreem Ham Hanumantayeh Namoh Namah. This recited eleven times can ward off Saturns’ malefic effects substantially.
JAI SREE RAAMA
AUM SREE RAAMA JAYA RAAMA JAYA JAYA RAAMA AUM SHREE RAAMA SIYARAAMA JAYA JAYA RAAMA AUM SHREE RAAMA JAYA RAAMA JAYA JAYA RAAMA.
