जय हनुमान आरती
Lord Hanuman — the devoted servant of Rama, the embodiment of selfless service (seva), strength, and devotion (bhakti) — is worshipped for courage, protection from evil, and removal of obstacles. He is considered a chiranjivi (immortal) who still roams the earth wherever the name of Rama is sung. This aarti follows the recitation of the Hanuman Chalisa.
आरती कीजे हनुमान लला की ।
दुष्ट दलन रघुनाथ कला की ॥
जाके बल से गिरिवर काँपे ।
रोग दोष जाके निकट न झाँके ॥
आरती कीजे हनुमान लला की ॥
अंजनि पुत्र महाबलदाई ।
संतन के प्रभु सदा सहाई ॥
दे बीरा रघुनाथ पठाए ।
लंका जारि सिया सुधि लाए ॥
आरती कीजे हनुमान लला की ॥
लंका सो कोट समुद्र सी खाई ।
जात पवनसुत बार न लाई ॥
लंका जारि असुर संहारे ।
सियाराम जी के काज सँवारे ॥
आरती कीजे हनुमान लला की ॥
लक्ष्मण मूर्छित पड़े सकारे ।
आणि संजीवन प्राण उबारे ॥
पैठि पताल तोरि यमकारे ।
अहिरावण की भुजा उखारे ॥
आरती कीजे हनुमान लला की ॥
बाएँ भुजा असुर दल मारे ।
दाहिने भुजा संतजन तारे ॥
सुर-नर-मुनि जन आरती उतारे ।
जय जय जय हनुमान उचारे ॥
आरती कीजे हनुमान लला की ॥
कंचन थार कपूर लौ छाई ।
आरती करत अंजना माई ॥
जो हनुमान जी की आरती गावे ।
बसि बैकुण्ठ परम पद पावे ॥
आरती कीजे हनुमान लला की ॥
लंक विध्वंस किये रघुराई ।
तुलसीदास स्वामी कीर्ति गाई ॥
आरती कीजे हनुमान लला की ।
दुष्ट दलन रघुनाथ कला की ॥
Aarti keeje Hanuman lala ki,
Dusht dalan Raghunath kala ki.
Jaake bal se girivar kaanpe,
Rog dosh jaake nikat na jhaanke.
Aarti keeje Hanuman lala ki.
Anjani putra mahabaldaai,
Santan ke Prabhu sada sahaai.
De beera Raghunath pathaaye,
Lanka jaari siya sudhi laaye.
Aarti keeje Hanuman lala ki.
Lanka so kot samudra si khaai,
Jaat Pawansut baar na laai.
Lanka jaari asur sanhaare,
Siyaaram ji ke kaaj sanwaare.
Aarti keeje Hanuman lala ki.
Lakshman moorchit pade sakaare,
Aani Sanjeewan praan ubaare.
Paithi paatal tori yamkaare,
Ahiraavan ki bhuja ukhaare.
Aarti keeje Hanuman lala ki.
Baayen bhuja asur dal maare,
Daahine bhuja santjan taare.
Sur-nar-muni jan aarti utaare,
Jai jai jai Hanuman uchaare.
Aarti keeje Hanuman lala ki.
Kanchan thaar kapoor lau chhaai,
Aarti karat Anjana Maai.
Jo Hanumaan ji ki aarti gaave,
Basi Baikunth param pad paave.
Aarti keeje Hanuman lala ki.
Lanka vidhwans kiye Raghuraai,
Tulsidaas Swami keerti gaai.
Aarti keeje Hanuman lala ki,
Dusht dalan Raghunath kala ki.
Perform the aarti of the beloved Hanuman,
He is the power of Raghunath (Rama) that destroys the wicked.
By whose strength the great mountains tremble,
Near whom diseases and faults dare not approach.
Son of Anjani, supremely powerful,
Ever the helper of the saints and devotees.
Sent forth on mission by Raghunath (Rama),
He burned Lanka and brought news of Sita.
Lanka had walls like fortresses and a moat like the ocean,
The son of Pavan (Hanuman) crossed it without a moment's delay.
He burned Lanka and destroyed the demons,
And fulfilled the mission of Siyaram (Rama and Sita).
When Lakshmana lay unconscious at dawn,
He brought the Sanjeevani herb and restored his life.
He entered the netherworld and broke the bonds of Yama (death),
And uprooted the arms of the demon Ahiravana.
With his left arm he destroys the armies of demons,
With his right arm he saves the assembly of saints.
Gods, men, and sages perform his aarti,
Crying "Victory, Victory, Victory to Hanuman!"
A golden plate is spread with camphor light,
Mother Anjana herself performs the aarti.
Whoever sings the aarti of Hanuman,
Shall dwell in Vaikuntha and attain the supreme state.
Raghurai (Rama) devastated Lanka,
Tulsidas sings the glory of his Lord.
Hanuman represents the ideal devotee — completely surrendered, fearless, and wholly dedicated to his Lord. His image is placed at boundaries and entrances because he is the guardian who repels negative forces. The Tuesday fast (Mangalvar vrat) is observed in his honor, and red vermilion (sindoor) is offered as he is said to have smeared sindoor all over his body out of love for Rama.
Best time: Tuesdays and Saturdays, after Hanuman Chalisa recitation, during Rama Navami and Hanuman Jayanti (Chaitra Purnima).
