Shri Hanuman Chaleesa / Gate Of Sweet Nectar

Shree Guru charana saroja raja
nija manu mukuru sudhari
Baranaun Raghubara bimala jasu
jo daayaku phala chaari
Budhi heena tanu jaanike
sumiraun pawana kumaara
Bala budhi vidyaa dehu mohin harahu kalesa bikaara
I know that this body of mine has no intelligence, so I recall you,
Son of the Wind
Grant me strength, wit and wisdom and remove my sorrows and shortcomings.
Bhajelo Ji Hanuman!
Bhajelo Ji Hanuman!
Oh Friend!
Remember Hanuman!

Hail to Hanuman, the ocean of wisdom and virtue,
Hail Monkey Lord, illuminater of the three worlds.

Anjani’s son, named the «Son of the Wind.»

Great hero, you are as mighty as a thunderbolt,
You remove evil thoughts and are the companion of the good.

With heavy earrings and curly locks.

And in an awesome form you burned Lanka.

And completed Lord Ram’s mission.

Asa kahi Shreepati kanta lagaawai
«May the thousand-mouthed serpent sing your fame!»
So saying, Lakshmi’s Lord drew you to Himself.
Naarada Saarada sahita Aheesaa
Sanak and the sages, Brahma, gods and the great saints,
Narada, Saraswati and the King of serpents,
Kabi kobida kahi sake kahaante
Yama, Kubera and the guardians of the four quarters,
poets and scholars — none can express your glory.
Raama milaaya raaja pada deenhaa
You did great service for Sugriva,
Presenting him to Ram, you gave him the kingship.
Lankeshwara bhaye saba jaga jaanaa
Vibhishana heeded your counsel
And became the Lord of Lanka, as the whole world knows.
Leelyo taahi madhura phala jaanu
Though the sun is thousands of miles away,
You swallowed it, thinking it to be a sweet fruit.

Holding the Lord’s ring in your mouth
It’s no surprise that you leapt over the ocean.

Raama Lakhana Seetaa sahita hridaya basahu sura bhoopa
Son of the Wind, destroyer of sorrow, embodiment of blessing,
Live in my heart, King of Gods, together with Ram, Lakshman and Sita.
