Benefits of Chanting Hanuman’s 12 Names on Tuesday
Chanting Hanuman’s 12 names is a revered practice in Hinduism, known for his unparalleled strength, courage, and devotion. These names encompass the divine attributes and qualities associated with Hanuman, inspiring devotees to emulate his virtues in their lives. From “Sankat Mochan” (the dispeller of distress) to “Mahaveer” (the great hero).
The Birth of Hanuman Ji
Hanuman Ji’s origin story is steeped in divine intervention and cosmic significance. Born to Anjana, an apsara, and Kesari, the king of the monkeys, his birth was foretold by celestial beings as a harbinger of hope and protection.
Devotion to Lord Rama
Hanuman Ji’s unwavering devotion to Lord Rama is legendary and serves as the cornerstone of his character. From the moment he encountered Lord Rama in his youth, Hanuman Ji pledged his undying allegiance, vowing to serve him in any capacity.
Throughout the epic saga of the Ramayana, Hanuman Ji’s strength and courage know no bounds. He single-handedly leaped across the ocean to reach Lanka, faced formidable adversaries in battle, and even lifted an entire mountain to procure the life-saving Sanjeevani herb. Yet, it is not just physical prowess that defines Hanuman Ji, but the strength of character and indomitable spirit that make him a revered figure in Hindu mythology.
Hanuman Ji’s depiction in art and literature is rich with symbolism, each aspect reflecting deeper spiritual truths. His monkey face represents humility and devotion, while his muscular physique symbolizes strength and resilience. The mace (gada) he wields signifies the power to overcome obstacles and vanquish evil.
As we reflect on the timeless tales and teachings of Hanuman Ji, we are reminded of the enduring power of devotion, courage, and selflessness. In the sacred bond between master and devotee, we find a mirror reflecting the depths of our own spiritual journey. May the divine presence of Hanuman Ji guide and inspire us to walk the path of righteousness with unwavering faith and unyielding determination. Jai Hanuman!
