Lord Hanuman is called as the “Chiranjeevi” (the Immortal).In India, Lord Hanuman is
revered by one and all.One can see huge crowds thronging the Hanuman temples across the
country on Saturdays.This is to appease Hanumanji and propitiate the Sani Bhagwan, who as
per legend, runs scared of Hanumanji.
It is said that whenever you recite the hymn – Sriram jayaram jaya jaya ram, Lord Hanuman
will be quick to come to the aid of the person chanting it.The devotion of Lord Hanuman to
Lord Ram and Seeta Maiyya is of course legendary.Children dote on the intrepid Hanuman who
attempted to swallow the Sun thinking it was a fruit.Many people wear Hanuman taweez (a
kind of metal object) to ward off evil.Why do we pray to Hanumanji ? We pray to him for
giving us physical and mental strength,to ward off the negative/evil influences from our
lives,to obliterate our timidity/cowardice and to sharpen our intellect.When we pray to Lord
Hanuman with a pure heart and an unshakeable faith, he is sure to come to our
rescue.Hanumanji is known to have stormed the Ashok van in Lanka (where Seeta Maiyya was
held captive by Ravan).The Ashok van was a place with such a high security that even air
could not enter.That is why – we say that Hanumanji is the one who can make the “asathya”
(impossible) into “sathya” (that which is possible). -
