About this stotra
The Hanuman Ashtottara Sata Namavali is a garland of 108 sacred names honoring Lord Hanuman, the mighty devotee of Śrī Rāma. Each name, preceded by the syllable Oṃ and followed by namaḥ (salutation), illuminates a different facet of Hanuman's divine nature—from Āñjaneya (son of Añjanā) and Mārutātmaja (son of the Wind) to Sarvaduḥkhahara (remover of all sorrows) and Sarvarogahara (healer of all diseases).
The names trace his legendary deeds from the Rāmāyaṇa—destroying the Aśoka grove, delivering Sītā Devī's ring, neutralizing Indrajit's celestial weapons—while also celebrating his role in the Mahābhārata as the guardian dwelling upon Arjuna's chariot flag (Pārthadhvajagrasamvāsin). The litany culminates with his identity as the tireless servant at the lotus feet of Sītā and Rāma together.
Widely recited on Tuesdays, Saturdays, and during Hanuman Jayanti, this namavali is cherished for invoking courage, dispelling negative planetary influences, and removing obstacles. Regular recitation is said to bestow strength, protection from enemies, freedom from fear, and the grace of unwavering devotion.
