Hanuman , the monkey devotee of Rama, though never mentioned anywhere in puranas or other holy books as God, is worshipped as though he is God himself. He is the son of Keasri and Anjana. But he is more known as the son of Vayu-the wind god.There are also references that say that he is the son of Lord Shiva himself. People throughout the length and breadth of India worship him with great devotion. Here is a small collection of stotras about him.
Salutations to the terror of Lanka, Who is the heroic son of Anjana, Who brought to an end , all sorrows of Sitha, Who is the king of monkeys , Who killed Aksha[1] the son of Ravana.
I bow my head and salute the emissary of Rama, Who has won over his mind, Who has similar speed as wind, Who has mastery over his organs, Who is the greatest among knowledgeable, Who is the son of God of wind, And who is the chief in the army of monkeys.
I bow before the darling son of the god of wind, Who is the son of Anjana, Who is great among killers of ogres, Who is like a golden mountain, Who is handsome to look at, And who lives near the roots of Parijatha[2] tree,
4 Yatra yatra Raghu nada keerthanam, Thathra thathra krudha masthakanjalim, Bhashpa vari pari poorna lochanam, Maruthim namatha Rakshasanthakam.
I pray and salute the son of wind god, Who brought to end the rakshasas, Who is always present with eye full of tears, With head bowed in veneration, Wherever the praise of Lord Rama is sung.
[Mangala stotras are normally recited at the end of reciting several stotras or the end of singing several songs or at the end of an auspicious function. The devotee wishes auspiciousness to the Lord. Mangalam may also mean good wishes or wishes for a happy ending.]
Vaisaka mase krishnayam Dasami manda vasare, Poorva bhadrasu Jathaya Mangalam Sri Hanumathe. 1
Mangalam to Sri Hanuman, Who was born in the month of Visaka*, On the tenth day of the waxing moon, On a Saturday under the Poorva bhadra star. * April-May month
Guru gowrava poornaya Phala bhoopa priyaya cha, Nana manikhya hasthaya , Mangalam Sri Hanumathe. 2
Mangalam to Sri Hanuman, Who has respect for his teachers, Who likes sweets prepared out of fruits, And whose different hands are decorated by gems.
Mangalam to Sri Hanuman, Who is the consort of Suvarchala*, Who had four arms, And who is the hero who rides, On a beam of light. * Common belief is that Hanuman is a bachelor.
