About the Bajrang Baan with Meaning
The Bajrang Baan, attributed to Goswami Tulsidas, is a fervent prayer that calls Hanuman to come as fast as an arrow (baan) to the aid of his devotee. It recalls his deeds in Lanka and then, invoking him with the seed syllables Hum, Hreem, Ham and Sam and on oath by Shri Ram and Mother Sita, begs him to drive away every danger, spirit and enemy. Because of its intensity many recite it only after the Hanuman Chalisa, with faith and a clean mind, in times of real trouble.
Questions
Can anyone read the Bajrang Baan?
Yes. Because it is an intense prayer for protection, many read it after the Hanuman Chalisa, with a clean body and mind, on Tuesdays or Saturdays or in times of real crisis, rather than casually.
What is the difference between the Hanuman Chalisa and the Bajrang Baan?
The Chalisa sings Hanuman's glory and asks for his grace; the Bajrang Baan is an urgent call for him to come at once and destroy a danger, invoking him by oath on Shri Ram and Mother Sita.
