Prayer to Hanuman by Krishna Das Lyrics
1. I bow to the Son of the Wind
A fire to burn the forest of the wicked, and a rain cloud of wisdom
O wide-hearted one, Shri Ram, the holder of the bow
Lives in you
Pranawun Pawanakumaar
Khala bana paawaka gyaana ghana
Jaasu hridaya aagaar basahin Raama sara chaapa dhara
2. Your body shining like a mountain of gold
Is the home of immeasurable power
You are the fire that burns the whole demon race...
The wisest of the wise
Atulita bala dhaamam, hemashailaa badeham
Danujawana krishaanum, gyaaninaama graganyam
3. First among monkeys! All goodness finds a home in you
You are the most beloved of Ram's devotees
Son of the wind, I bow to you
Sakala guuna nidhaanam, vaanaraa naama dheesham
Raghupati priya bhaktam, vaata jaatam namaami
4. For this world you are like Ram
For the demons, you are like fire
You are the great jewel in the garland of the Ramayan
Son of the Wind, I bow to you
Goshpadee krita vaareesham, mashakee krita raakshasam
Raamaayana mahaamaala ratnam, vande neelaatmajam
5. You are Anjani's heroic son
The destroyer of Sita's suffering
Lord of Monkeys, Killer of Demons
Terrorizer of Lanka, I bow to you
Anjanaa nandanam veeram, Jaanakee shoka naashanam
Kapeesha makshahantaaram, vande Lankaa bhayankaram
6. You jumped over the ocean so easily
To put out the fire of Janaki's grief
Burner of Lanka, I bow to you
Ullanghya sindho salilam saleelam
Yaha shoka wanheen Janakaatma jaayaaha
Aadaaya tenaiwa dadaaha Lankaa
Namaami tam praanjali raanjaneyam
7. You have conquered your mind, you move as fast of the wind
You have conquered the senses
You overflow with wisdom and mercy
Son of the Wind, you are Ram's messenger in this world
Lion among Monkeys! Give me refuge!
Manojavam Maaruta tuulya wegam
Jitendriyam buddhimataam warishtam
Vaataatmajam vaanara yuuta mukhyam
Shree Raamaduutam sharanam prapadhye
8. Wherever Ram's name is being sung
You go there and bow
Your eyes filled with tears of love
Son of the wind, Destroyer of demons, I bow to you...
I bow to You, I bow to you.....
Yatra yatra Raghunaata keertanam
Tatra tatra krita masta kaanjalim
Vaashpawaari paripuurna lochanam
Maaruteen namata raakshasaantakam
Bolo Bajarangbali Mahaaraaja Kee Jai!
