निश्चय प्रेम प्रतीति ते, विनय करें सनमान । तेहिं के कारज सकल शुभ,सि़द्ध करें हनुमान ।।
जय हनुमंत संत हितकारी । सुन लीजै प्रभु अरज हमारी ।। जन के काज विलंब न कीजै । आतुर दौरि महा सुख दीजै ।। जैसे कूदि सिंधु महि पारा । सुरसा बदन पैठि विस्तारा ।। आगे जाय लंकिनी रोका । मारेहुं लात गई सुरलोका ।। जाय विभीषण को सुख दीन्हा । सीता निरखि परम पद लीन्हा ।। बाग उजारि सिंधु महं बोरा । अति आतुर जमकातर तोरा ।। अक्षयकुमार को मारि संहारा । लूम लपेटि लंक को जारा ।। लाह समान लंक जरि गई । जय जय धुनि सुरपुर नभ भई ।। अब बिलंब केहि कारन स्वामी । कृपा करहु उर अंतरयामी ।। जय जय लखन प्रान के दाता । आतुर ह्वबै दुख हरहु निपाता ।। जै हनुमान जयति बलसागर । सुर समूह समरथ भटनागर ।। ॐ हनु हनु हनु हनुमंत हठीले । बैरिहि मारू बज्र के कीले ।। ॐ ह्री ह्रीं ह्रीं हनुमंत कपीसा । ॐ हुं हुं हुं हनु अरि उर सीसा ।। जय अंजनि कुमार बलवंता । शंकरसुवन बीर हनुमंता ।। बदन कराल काल कुल घालक । राम सहाय सदा प्रतिपालक ।। भूत, प्रेत, पिसाच निशाचर । अगिन बेताल काल मारी मर ।। इन्हें मारू, तोहि सपथ राम की । राखु नाथ मरजाद नाम की ।। सत्य होहु हरि सपथ पाई कै । राम दूत धरू मारू धाई कै ।। जय जय जय हनुमंत अगाधा । दुख पावत जन केहि अपराधा ।। पूजा जप तप नेम अचारा । नहि जानत कुछ दास तुम्हारा ।। बन उपबन मग गिरि गृह माही । तुम्हरे बल हम डरपत नहीं।। जनकसुता हरि दास कहावौ । ताकी सपथ बिलंब न लावौ ।। जै जै जै धुनि होत अकासा । सुमिरत होत दुसह दुख नासा ।। चरन पकरि कर जोरि मनावौं । यहि अवसर अब केहिं गोहरावौं ।। उठु, उठु, चलु तोहि राम दुहाई । पाँय परौं, कर जोरि मनाई ।। ॐ चं चं चं चपल चलंता । ॐ हनु हनु हनु हनु हनुमंता ।। ॐ हं हं हाँक देत कपि चंचल । ॐ सं सं सहमि पराने खलदल ।। अपने जन को तुरत उबारौ । सुमिरत होय आनंद हमारौ ।। यह बजरंग बाण जेहि मारै । ताहि कहौ फिरि कौन उबारै ।। पाठ करै बजरंग बाण की । हनुमत रक्षा करै प्रान की ।। यह बजरंग बाण जो जापै । तासौं भूत प्रेत सब काँपै ।। धूप देय जो जपै हमेशा । ताके तन नहि रहे कलेशा ।।
उर प्रतीति दृढ़ सरन हवै , पाठ करै धरि ध्यान । बाधा सब हर, करै सब काम सफल हनुमान ।।

The Poet
तुलसीदास
Tulsidas
1532 · 1623
There are works of literature, and there are works that become the living tissue of a civilization works so deeply absorbed into the bloodstream of a people that they cease to be read and begin, instead, to be breathed. Tulsidas's Ramcharitmanas is that second and almost impossibly rare thing. Composed in Awadhi in the sixteenth century, at a time when Sanskrit had erected a wall of exclusion around sacred knowledge, the Ramcharitmanas was an act of radical democratization a decision by a scholar of profound erudition to lay down his privilege and carry the light directly to those who had been told they were unworthy of it. Tulsidas took the Valmiki Ramayana and did not merely translate it. He recomposed it in the devotional key of Bhakti, saturating every couplet with such concentrated love that the text functions as much as a spiritual practice as a literary one. Generations of Hindu households have woken before dawn to the sound of these verses, heard them at birth and at death, found in them the moral grammar by which they ordered their lives. Tulsidas was not merely a poet. He was, in the most precise sense, an architect one who built a cathedral large enough for an entire subcontinent to live inside. The structure still stands. It has sheltered half a billion souls and shows no sign of age.
Paired Painting
Lord Hanuman Carrying the Dronagiri Mountain
This profound lithograph captures one of the most beloved and dramatic episodes from the Ramayana, where the devoted Hanuman leaps across skies and oceans to save the fallen Lakshmana. Bearing the entire Dronagiri mountain upon his palm, complete with the healing Sanjeevani herbs glowing on its peak, Hanuman embodies the pinnacle of selfless devotion, boundless strength, and absolute surrender to the divine. His dynamic posture reflects both urgency and grace, transforming an ancient epic moment into a vibrant visual prayer that once adorned countless household shrines across India, offering solace and divine protection to all who gazed upon it.
