Rao And Sapru - The Divine Corner Presents "Shree Hanuman Ashtak"🙏
"Shree Hanuman Ashtak is a revered devotional hymn dedicated to Lord Hanuman, one of the most celebrated deities in Hinduism. It holds a special place in the hearts of devotees for its power, rhythm, and spiritual depth. Here's a detailed description including its history, origin, meaning, purpose, objective:
1. History and Origin
The Shree Hanuman Ashtak, also known as "Bajrang Baan" or "Hanuman Ashtak", is attributed to Tulsidas, the 16th-century saint and poet best known for writing the Ramcharitmanas—a devotional retelling of the Ramayana in Awadhi. Tulsidas was a devout follower of Lord Rama and considered Lord Hanuman as the supreme devotee and protector.
While the Hanuman Chalisa is more universally known, the Hanuman Ashtak is a compact eight-verse hymn (Ashtak means "eight") that is often recited with intensity and devotion to seek the immediate protection and blessings of Lord Hanuman. The Ashtak reflects Tulsidas’s deep emotional devotion and his understanding of Hanuman’s powers.
2. Meaning and Structure
The Shree Hanuman Ashtak comprises eight verses, each glorifying the strength, valor, and divine powers of Lord Hanuman:
• Verse 1–2: Praise Hanuman’s strength, courage, and unmatched devotion to Lord Rama.
• Verse 3–4: Highlight Hanuman’s power to remove obstacles and destroy evil.
• Verse 5–6: Depict Hanuman as the protector of devotees and a symbol of unwavering faith.
• Verse 7–8: Call for Hanuman’s blessings and assurance of his divine presence in times of fear and distress.
3. Purpose and Objective
• To invoke protection from evil forces, both seen and unseen.
• To gain courage and strength during times of personal struggle.
• To enhance mental and physical resilience by channeling Hanuman’s boundless energy.
• To deepen spiritual connection with Lord Hanuman and Lord Rama.
• To seek divine intervention in times of fear, doubt, or distress.
4. Objective and Benefits
The objectives of the Hanuman Ashtak are both spiritual and practical:

5.Lyrics
Om shri anjaneya namah, Om shri keshri nandanai namah
Baal samai ravi bhakshi liyo tab, teenahu loka bhayo andhiyaro ।
Taahi so traas bhayo jag ko, yah sankat kaahu so jaat na taaro ।
Dewan aani kari bintee tab, chaadhi diyo ravi kasht niwaaro ।
Ko nahin jaanat hai jag mein kapi, sankat mochan naam tihaaro ॥1॥
Baali ki traas kapees basai giri, jaat mahaaprabhu panth nihaaro ।
Chownki mahaa muni saap diyo tab, chahiy kaun bichaar bichaaro ।
Kai dwij roop liwaay mahaa prabhu, so tum daas ke sok niwaaro ।
Ko nahin jaanat hai jag mein kapi, sankat mochan naam tiharo ॥2॥
Angad ke sang lain gaye siya, khoj kapees yah baain uchaaro ।
jeevat na bachihau hum son ju, bina sudhi laay ehaan pagu dhaaro ।
Hayri thake tatt sindhu sabaai tab, laay siya-sudhi praan ubaaro ।
Ko nahin jaanat hai jag mein kapi, sankat mochan naam tiharo ॥3॥
Raavan traas dayee siya ko sab, raakshashi so kahi sok nivaaro ।
Taahi samay hanuman mahaprabhu, Jaay mahaa rajneechar maaro ।
Chaahat seeya asoka so aagi su, dai prabhu mudrika soka nivaaro ।
Ko nahin jaanat hai jag mein kapi, sankat mochan naam tiharo ॥4॥
Baan lagyo ur lakshiman ke tab, praan taje sut raavan maaro ।
Lai griha baidya sushen samet, tabai giri dron su beer upaaro ।
Aani sajeewan hath diyee taba, lakshiman ke tum praan upaaro ।
Ko nahin jaanat hai jag mein kapi, sankat mochan naam tiharo ॥5॥
Raavan yudh ajaan kiyo tab, naag ki phaas sabhi sir daaro ।
Sri Raghunath samet sabai dal, moh bhayo yah sankat bhaaro ।
Aani khagesh tabai hanumaan ju, bandhan kaati sutraas nivaaro ।
Ko nahin jaanat hai jag mein kapi, sankat mochan naam tiharo ॥6॥
Bandhu samet jabai ahiraavan, lai raghunath pataal sidhaaro ।
Devhi puji bhalee vidhi so bali, deu sabai mili mantra vichaaro ।
Jaay sahaay bhayo tab hi, ahiraavan sainya samet sanhaaro ।
Ko nahin jaanat hai jag mein kapi, sankat mochan naam tiharo ॥7॥
Kaaj kiye barh dewan kei tum, beer mahaaprabhu dekhi bichaaro ।
Kaun so sankat mor gareeb ko, jo tumso nahin jaat hai taaro ।
Begi haro hanumaan mahaprabhu, jo kuch sankat hoya hamaaro ।
Ko nahin jaanat hai jag mein kapi, sankat mochan naam tiharo ॥8॥
Laal deh laalee lase, aru dhari laal langoor ।
Bajra deh daanavdalan, jai jai jai kapi soor ॥
