Worshipping the God of Power - Hanuman

Hanuman, the ardent devotee of Lord Ram, is one of the most powerful Hindu Gods. Every version of Ramayana is incomplete without the mention of Lord Hanuman. In this holy book of Rama’s life journey, vanara(monkey-like humanoid) Hanuman, son of Lord Vayu (the wind god) participated in Rama's war against the demon king Ravana. He is also presented as the incarnation of Lord Shiva in several texts. In fact, not only in Ramayana, Hanuman is a key character in the great Hindu epic, Mahabharta, and other puranas along with several Jain texts.


While writing this blog, dedicatedly on Lord Hanuman, I can’t help but feel eternal calm and peace. Indeed, with so many adherents of Bhagwaan Hanuman, Hanuman-Bhakti can never fade away. Every time anyone chants the name of Bhagwan Ram, the name of Bhagwan Hanuman comes into the minds of the speaker and the listener. He is such a huge devotee of Lord Rama, that anywhere, anyone when chants Rama’s name, he is said to be listening to it. No wonder huge marble statues of Hanuman are placed across the world so that He can listen to the name of His Lord.

Jai Shri Ram!! Jai Hanuman!

Worshipping Bhagwaan Hanuman

Tuesday is said to be the day of Hanuman Bhagwaan. Not only Hanuman, one can keep Surya Dev too pleased receiving tej i.e. confidence and glory from Him as Hanuman and Surya Dev are considered too close to each other. Thus worshipping Hanuman removes all the pains and defects not only from the devotees’ lives but also from the entire planet.

It is always essential to keep utter care of some things while worshiping Hanuman Ji. Here we are sharing some of the most important things to remember. Keep this stuff in mind while worshiping Hanuman Ji:

  •  Hanuman aarti along with Hanuman Chalisa is chanted while worshipping Bhagwaan Hanuman.
  • Purity is one of the most essential things to be kept in mind.

  • Grinded sandal mixed with saffron is applied on the statue too.
  • Lotus, marigold, and sunflower flowers are offered to the God of power.
  • It is advised to offer jaggery, coconut, and laddoos when worshipping God in the morning. If worshipped in the afternoon, jaggery is mixed with ghee and wheat bread. At night, God is offered fruits like mango, guava, and banana
  • Hanuman devotees have to follow celibacy while worshiping.
  • While chanting the mantras of the aarti and Hanuman Chalisa, one needs to look directly into the eyes of God.
  • Two types of garlands, the rosary of Rudraksha and coral garland, are used for different reasons.
