The Hanuman Mala Mantram is a powerful tantric invocation drawn from the Rudra Yamala Tantra. It celebrates Lord Hanuman in his Panchamukhi form, highlighting his immense strength, divine lineage as an avatar of Lord Shiva, and his role as the destroyer of demonic pride and obstacles. This potent string of bija mantras and evocative epithets serves as a protective kavacha for the devotee. Chanting this hymn is believed to instill supreme courage, remove fear, conquer internal and external enemies, and bestow spiritual victory while ensuring the profound grace of the monkey god upon the sincere seeker.
Oṃ Hrauṃ Kṣrauṃ Glauṃ Huṃ Hsauṃ Oṃ — Salutation to the blessed Pañcavaktra Hanumān (the Five-faced), of manifest and heroic might pervading all quarters of the universe — one whose fame illumines all the three worlds, avatar of the mighty Rudra, of diamond body, remover of Laṅkā's splendor, the ocean-crosser who treats the sea as a blade of straw, destroyer of Akṣa, crusher of Rāvaṇa's pride — the future Brahmā, the Lord: Come! Come! Scatter the fear of gods, demons, gandharvas, yakṣas, brahmarākṣasas, ghosts, pretas, piśācas — devour all fear of kings, thieves, enemies, serpents, scorpions, beasts, birds, worms and insects. Come! Remove the suffering of those afflicted by all types of malignant spirits and all manner of fever. Loose all bondage. Pierce all poisons. Cut all fevers. Break all fears. Fill your devotees' hearts with their desires. Grant the boon of the Sañjīvanī master.
