Auspicious Sloka of Anjaneya

This is a beautiful and devotional Tamil passage about Lord Anjaneya (Hanuman).

🙏 Karthigai Moolam - Surrender to the Holy Feet of Sri Anjaneya Swamy!

The Auspicious Sloka of Anjaneya:

Sanskrit/Tamil Verses:

बुद्धिर् बलं यशो धैर्यं

निर्भयत्वं अरोगता।

अजाड्यं वाक्पटुत्वं च

हनुमत् स्मरणम् भवेत्॥

* Buddhir Balam Yasho Dhairyam

* Nirbhayatvam Aroghata

* Ajaadyam Vaakpatutvam Cha

* Hanumat Smaranaat Bhavet

The Meaning:

This Sloka describes the various blessings (Anugraham) Anjaneya bestows upon those who meditate on (or remember) him.

He grants: Intelligence (Buddhi), Strength (Balam), Fame (Yashas), Firmness/Steadfastness (Dhairyam), Fearlessness (Nirbhayatvam), Good Health (Arogyam), Agility/Vigilance (Ajaadyam), and Oratorical Skill/Eloquence (Vaakpatutvam)—all these come from remembering Hanuman.

Normally, all these qualities are impossible to find together in one person. A highly intelligent person might be sickly and dull (sonia - lethargic/weak). A very strong person might be dull-witted (mandu - blockhead/dim). Even if one has both, they might be a coward, a faint-hearted person (payanthangolli - literally, one who is afraid of even a fly).

Despite having great competence, a person might be lazy and lacking the necessary alertness or swiftness (surusurupu, vizhippu) to actually put their skills to use. Even a brilliant scholar might lack the verbal dexterity (vaaku vanmai) to articulate what they knows.

Anjaneya Swamy showers all these blessings (sreyas) simultaneously, preventing such conflicting or contradictory traits in a single place.
