Hanumad Bhujanga Stotra: A Hymn on Hanuman in Bhujanga Metre

By Koushik K.

Hanumad Bhujanga Stotra is composed in bhujanga metre which resembles the pattern like that of the zigzag movement of a snake. This is a fast metre. Hanumad Bhujanga Stotra is comprised of sixteen shlokas including the phala shruti (the verse describing the benefits of reciting Hanumad Bhujanga Stotra) Hanumad Bhujanga Stotra describes various great qualities of Hanuman and different pastimes and adventures of Hanuman's life described in Ramayana. Hanumad Bhujanga Stotra has different variations and alternate readings, I have sincerely tried to give you the alternate readings with their meaning. The composition of this hymn is ascribed to shankara bhagavatpada by some scholars but the fact is not evident and backed by many authentic sources. However, by the study of Hanumad Bhujanga Stotra one can definitely understand that the composer of Hanumad Bhujanga Stotra must be a great devotee of Hanuman and must have possessed a great level of knowledge of the sacred scriptures dealing with Hanuman and his worship. This hymn is also popular amongst the devotees of Hanuman. This book is an effort to explain the meaning of each and every word and verse of this hymn backed by valmiki Ramayana and scriptures dealing with ritualistic worship of hanuman.
