Shri Bajrang Baan Paath (श्री बजरं ग बाण पाठ) – A Divine Shield of Devotion
Introduction In the vast ocean of Hindu devotional literature, Shri Bajrang Baan Paath (श्री बजरं ग बाण पाठ) holds a special place as a powerful and protective hymn dedicated to Lord Hanuman, the divine embodiment of strength, faith, and fearlessness. For centuries, devotees across India have turned to this sacred composition during times of fear, stress, and spiritual crisis. Chanted with sincerity, Bajrang Baan is believed to act like a spiritual “arrow” (Baan) that targets negativity and obstacles, invoking Bajrangbali's divine intervention and blessings.
Origin and Meaning The Bajrang Baan is attributed to Goswami Tulsidas, the legendary saint-poet and author of the Ramcharitmanas. It is not part of the original epic but was composed later as a devotional stotra (hymn) meant to awaken Hanuman’s protection in times of danger. In Hindi, "Bajrang" means the one with a strong body like lightning, a name for Hanuman, and "Baan" means arrow. Thus, Bajrang Baan is metaphorically an invocation of divine force and focused energy to eliminate fear, evil spirits, and suffering.
Structure and Style The Bajrang Baan is written in a forceful and rhythmic meter, very different from soft bhajans. It uses powerful language, bold affirmations, and warrior-like imagery to invoke Hanuman Ji with urgency. This distinguishes it from the more widely known Hanuman Chalisa, which is more lyrical in nature.
The hymn begins with the devotee calling out to Lord Hanuman and continues with vivid descriptions of his strength, valor, and divine powers. It also requests protection from enemies, ailments, and misfortune.
