Hanuman Bahuk “a protective shield”
An amazing fact that many people may not know is that whenever a person is suffering from a physical problem, or if an illness is not being detected despite all tests coming back negative, then seek the refuge of Lord Hanuman. This is a tried-and-tested remedy, and thousands of people have benefitted from it. If you too are in distress, then do this recitation; Sankatmochan (the remover of obstacles, a name of Hanuman) will take away all your suffering.
Hanuman ji is considered an incarnation of Lord Mahadev (Shiva). He is regarded as the direct deity of the Kaliyuga (the current era), for it is believed that Hanuman ji still resides on Earth. Hanuman ji is known by various names such as Bajrangbali, Sankatmochan, and more. Any devotee who worships Hanuman ji or his beloved Lord Rama with full devotion, Hanuman ji surely fulfills that devotee’s wish and rescues them from every trouble.
It is said that during a period of great distress, Goswami Tulsidas ji turned his thoughts to Hanuman ji. Filled with deep devotion, he composed a hymn called the ‘Hanuman Bahuk.’ Pleased by his heartfelt prayer, Sankatmochan (Hanuman ji) removed all of Tulsidas ji’s suffering. Even today, the recitation of the Hanuman Bahuk is regarded as highly powerful and is believed to help alleviate physical ailments and various illnesses.
According to tradition, on one occasion, Goswami Tulsidas ji suffered from severe pain in his arm. Seeking relief, he began to praise Hanuman ji with unwavering faith and devotion. This 44-verse hymn, known as the ‘Hanuman Bahuk,’ is believed to provide comfort and ease to anyone reciting it sincerely during intense pain, bringing about relief from suffering.
