Hanuman Bahuk

Best day: Tuesday

श्रीरामचन्द्र कृपालु भजमन। हरण भवभय दारुणम्। जाके बल से गिरिवर काँपे। रोग दोष जाके निकट न झाँके॥ सिन्धु तरन सियसोचहरन। कृत रावणारि सविनय शरन। हनुमान बाहुक गाइये। अति बल बुद्धि बिद्या पाइये॥ निश्चय प्रेम प्रतीति ते, विनय करें सनमान। तेहि के कारज सकल शुभ, सिद्ध करें हनुमान॥ बाल समय रवि भक्षि लियो तब, तीनहुँ लोक भयो अँधियारो। ताहि सों त्रास भयो जग को, यह संकट काहु सों जात न टारो॥ देवन आनि करी बिनती तब, छांड़ि दियो रवि कष्ट निवारो। को नहिं जानत है जग में कपि, संकटमोचन नाम तिहारो॥

Significance & When to Recite

Hanuman Bahuk was composed by Goswami Tulsidas when he himself was suffering from severe arm pain (bahuk = arm). He wrote this prayer to Hanuman for relief, and tradition holds that his pain was immediately cured. It is recited for healing from physical ailments, especially joint pain, paralysis, and chronic diseases. It is recommended on Tuesdays and Saturdays, and during times of severe illness. The text is considered especially powerful because it was born from Tulsidas's own personal suffering and faith.
