Hanumat Pancharatnam

The Hanumat Pancharatnam, composed by Adi Shankaracharya, is a set of five jewel-like verses praising the divine qualities of Lord Hanuman. Each verse expresses profound devotion and beautifully portrays Hanuman’s character—his purity, strength, compassion, and unwavering service to Lord Rama.

The first verse describes Hanuman as the supreme devotee free from worldly desires, tears of bliss flowing from his eyes as he remembers Rama. He is the beloved messenger of Sita and Rama, worthy of deep meditation.

The second verse visualizes his youthful, radiant face glowing like the rising sun, his eyes filled with compassion, recalling his heroic act of bringing the Sanjeevani herb to revive Lakshmana. His glory reflects the great merit of his mother, Anjana.

The third verse praises his large lotus-like eyes, his valor in defeating mighty demons, his conch-like neck, and his bright, bimba-colored lips—depicting a perfect blend of beauty and courage.

The fourth verse remembers his removal of Sita’s sorrow, his proclamation of Rama’s greatness in Lanka, and his destruction of Ravana’s pride. The devotee prays that his divine form may forever shine before him.

The fifth verse glorifies Hanuman as the leader of the Vanara army, fearsome to demons like the sun to lotuses, a compassionate protector of the downtrodden, and the embodiment of tapas and purity.

The concluding verse promises that whoever recites this sacred hymn, the Pancharatnam, will enjoy all blessings in this life and ultimately become a beloved devotee of Sri Rama.
