Hanuman Sahasranamavali Audio

 

Lord Hanuman represents fearlessness, strength, loyalty and power over enemies who destroy peace and well being. One of the main benefits that one receives by propitiating Sri Hanuman is the getting back of things lost. One might know that Sri Sita Devi was re-joined with Sri Rama because of the tremendous efforts of Sri Hanuman. The lost object that rightfully belongs to the owner, ( it may not even be an object ) could be anything, including good health that has been lost or peace of mind or even a physical object. A personal case involves losing the Thiru Naamam box – being Iyengars, we have a Thiru Namam box at the house which is used to form the Thiru Naamam symbol on the forehead ( also called Sri Churnam ) – upon propitiating Sri Hanuman, the box was found. An older acquaintance once informed of a child that was lost in Calcutta, and after worshipping Sri Hanuman, the child was found and restored to the parents. Of course, Sri Hanuman bestows physical strength when needed most ( several personal experiences ) and well being and a renewed sense of loyalty. The learned ones say that those who have Shani Dasai should worship Sri Hanuman regularly.

The Sri Hanuman Sahasranamavali in audio form is rare to be found – the Sahasranama Stotram is more common; as mentioned in a previous post, the difference between the two can be likened to garland of roses tied by a string in the Stotram versus a bunch of roses not tied by a string in the Namavali – in either case, they are roses and are beautiful and fragrant. Thus far during Hanuman Sahasranama Homams done at home, the Sahasranama strotram has been used; but it is felt that the Sahasranamavali format is more powerful during homams because of the increased number of ahutis – note that every name or quality gets an ahuti in the latter whereas every couplet comprising several names and qualities at a time gets one ahuti during the former.

The desire to recite this Sri Hanuman Sahasranamavali came in the mind, since a decision was made to go to the ParaShakthi Temple in Detroit, Michigan to attend the Sri Hanuman Punar Prathishtapana on the 16^th and 17^th of December 2016 and this would be a preliminary offering of love to Sri Hanuman.

This is a very powerful hymn of Lord Hanuman and in order to get the maximum physical effect and “feeling”, one is STRONGLY recommended to put on headphones and listen with the volume level fairly high – as opposed to hearing through computer or car speakers or on low volume. One might note that in this recitation, the rhythm followed is 20 names/qualities on high pitch followed by 20 names/qualities on low pitch. One might find that many of the words in this hymn are somewhat difficult to pronounce; but with some effort they will become easy. There are some missing words in the printed lyrics source given below – the corrections are given at the end. The audio is correct.
