[edit]References

Tulsi das went to meet Delhi darbar (king of Delhi) after having Sri Rama direct dharshan (vision of god) in Gokula (birth place of Sri Krishna). The king desired to have dharsan of Sri Rama and forced Tulsi das to show Sri Rama to him. When Tulsi Das replied saying which is not possible unless having pure devotion on Him (Sri Rama), Tulsi das was prisoned by the king. In the prison, Tulsi das wrote this beautiful verses of Hanuman Chalisa on Sri Hanuman. While he completes the Hanuman Chalisa in prison, it is said that there were full of Monkeys like an army occupied Delhi. The king tried to control the Monkeys with many forces but could not since the numbers were huge. Finally, the king understood it was due to his mistake of putting Tulsi Da in prison without understanding his devotion on Sri Rama. He released Tulsi Das and prayed him to set off the Monkeys and then it is said that the country turned normal. This is the background story of Hanuman Chalisa. In that Hanuman chalisa, it is said by Tulsi Das that the person who is chanting this will get the grace of Sri Hanuman.

Shree Hanuman Chalisa in English and Tamil

Slokam

Hanuman is considered as siranjaeevi (to live eternally). He is the monkey God, strong, full of valour, with various skills and powers. At the same time, he is wise, a great gnani, yogi and a brahmachari. He had only one thought that of serving his Lord Rama with utmost humility and devotion. He is known as Siriya Thiruvadi. He is considered to be an amsam of Lord Siva. He is known by various names - Hanuman - (His jaw & cheek had gone in when struck by the Vajrayudha of Indra), Anumandhayya - (in Karnataka), Aanjaneyalu - (in Andhra Pradesh), Aanjaneyan - (son of Anjana), Maruthi - (son of Vaayu - in Maharashtra), Anumandhan, Vaayunandhan, Kesarinandhanan (son of Kesari), Aadhitasishyan and Siriya Thiruvadi (vahanam for Rama).
He is worshipped in the temples as Bhaktha Hanuman & Veera Hanuman. He is seen seated humbly in front of Rama vigrahmas in the Rama sannadhis. There are also separate temples for Hanuman. As Bhaktha Hanuman he is seen holding both hands together in prayer. He is seen as Veera Hanuman, holding the mace in one hand & the sanjeevi parvatham in the other. Devotees are blessed with courage, valour, wisdom, gnanam when they pray to him. He is very happy when he hears the Rama namam. Hence, repeating the Rama namam is one of the best ways to get his blessings.
Worship & offerings
Anjaneyar is worshipped with offerings of butter & Vadaimalai (a garland of vadais). Butter is applied to the mouth & tail of the Hanuman vigrahams in temples. Devotees pray to the Lord & apply dots of kumkumam to his tail (from the starting point to the tip) in the images kept at home.
