Frequently asked questions about Aarti Kije Hanuman Lala Ki
What story does this aarti retell?
The Lanka chapters of the Ramayana, verse by verse - Hanuman sent as messenger, the leap across the ocean, the burning of Lanka, Sita found, and Lakshmana revived with the Sanjivani herb. Singing it is a recital of his service, which is why it moves devotees so strongly.
When is it sung?
Tuesdays and Saturdays, at Hanuman Jayanti, and at the end of a Sundarkand or Hanuman Chalisa recital. Temples sing it at the evening lamp after the sindoor and chola have been offered.
What does Dusht dalan Raghunath kala mean?
The crusher of the wicked, the very strength or portion of Raghunath. It sets out the theology of Hanuman worship in one line: his power is not his own possession but Rama acting through him, which is why devotees ask him for protection rather than for favours.
Why is Hanuman offered sindoor?
From the account of his seeing Sita apply sindoor for Rama and smearing his whole body with it out of love. It is given in chameli oil, along with a boondi laddu, gud-chana and a banana - the items are listed in the Hanuman puja samagri.
Should the Chalisa be read before this aarti?
That is the usual order - the Hanuman Chalisa as the recitation, this aarti with the lamp to close it, then the prasad. Reading only one of the two is perfectly acceptable.
