Hanuman

Pronunciation

Hear It Spoken

Full Translation

A flowing call-and-response chant that invokes Hanuman by his loving names: Anjani-nandana (son of mother Anjani), Bajrangbali (the one with a body like a thunderbolt), and Sankata Mochan (remover of difficulties and suffering). Woven through with "Jaya Siya Ram," it celebrates Hanuman's grace, strength, and boundless devotion to Sita and Rama.

Spiritual Significance

Chanting it is felt to invoke Hanuman's protection and grace — the dissolving of fear, obstacles, and suffering. Hanuman is held up as the model devotee, and singing his names is a way of asking for that same one-pointed, selfless love of the divine.

Cultural Context & History

A signature chant of Krishna Das, who threads traditional Hanuman invocations into long, building, meditative kirtan. Hanuman holds a special place in the lineage of Neem Karoli Baba, the guru who shaped Krishna Das's path.
