Origin & Story

Traditional Hanuman stotra — the 'Twelve Names' (Dwadasanama) · Traditional · Classical Hindu tradition

The Hanuman Dwadasanama is one of the most beloved short hymns to Hanuman, gathering twelve of his names — each a doorway into a moment of the Ramayana: his birth to Anjana and Vayu, his boundless strength, his leap across the ocean to Lanka, his comforting of the grieving Sita, and his saving of Lakshmana with the Sanjivani herb. The closing lines promise the reciter fearlessness and victory, which is why devotees have long recited it at night and before every journey.

It is a short, ancient hymn that calls upon Lord Hanuman by twelve sacred names — Hanuman, Anjanasunu, Vayuputra, Mahabala, Rameshta, Phalgunasakha, Pingaksha, Amitavikrama, Udadhikramana, Sitashokavinashana, Lakshmanapranadata and Dashagrivasya-darpaha — each recalling a glory of his life in the Ramayana.

Traditionally every night at bedtime (svapakale) and, with special importance, before beginning any journey (yatrakale). Tuesdays and Saturdays, which are sacred to Hanuman, are especially auspicious.
