Atulit baldhaamam, hem-shailaabh-deham
Danuj van Krishnaanum, gyaani naamagr ganyam
Sakal gun nidhaanam, baanar-aanaam dheesham
Raghupati priya bhaktam, vaat jaatam namaami
Obeisance to the son of the Wind, the home of immeasurable strength, possessing a body shining like a mountain of gold, a fire to consume the forest of the demon race, the foremost among the wise, storehouse of every excellence, the chief of the monkeys. Raghupati’s noble messenger
Laal deha laaleel-se, arudhari-laal langoor
vajra deha daanava dalan, jai jai jai kapi-soor
We pray to the red-colored one, whose entire body is red, and who is decorated with red colored sindoor. We pray to the one draped with a red colored loin-cloth. We pray to the one whose body is firm and strong like the vajra (Lord Indra’s weapon). We pray to the destroyer of demons. We bow in praise again and again to the supreme among Gods, Lord Hanuman.
Buddhi heen tanu Jaanike, sumiro pavan kumaar
Bal buddhi vidya dewoo mohi, harhu klesh vikaar
Knowing myself to be ignorant, I beg of you O Hanumanji to bestow on me strength, wisdom and knowledge and take away all my miseries and blemishes.
Pavan tanai sankat haran, mangal moorti roop
Ram lakhan Seeta sahit, hrdai basahu sur bhoop
O son of the Wind and dispeller of all calamities, you are the true representation of happiness. Please dwell in my heart with Lakshman and Seeta. O king of all devatas.
Manaojavam Maaruta-tulyavegam
Jitendriyam buddhimataam varishtham
Vaataatmajam Vaanarayayoo-thamukhyam
Sri Ramadootam Saranam prapadye
Lord Hanuman, the son of Vayu, is as swift as the wind. He has controlled His sense organs, and is the most intelligent among the intelligent ones. He is the chief of the army of monkeys and the messenger of Lord Rama. Every day I bow down at thy feet.
AUM aanjaneyaaya vid-mahe
Vaayu-putraayaya dheemahi
Tanno hanumatah prachodayaat
We pray to the son of Goddess Anjani and the son of the “Wind”… May Lord Hanuman lead our intellect towards intelligence and “knowing”.
