the echo of Kali's strength resonating through the universe.
Tulsidas opens by setting the cosmic stage
where Hanuman's grace alone can break the chains of Time.

When as a child Hanuman swallowed the Sun,
the three worlds fell into darkness —
None in the universe could voice their fear,
such was the power of this divine child.

removing the suffering from all —
Who in this world does not know, O Vanara,
by your name: Sankatmochan, Remover of Distress.

Your arm-strength and valor are beyond measure,
Your intellect, power and wisdom are supreme —
Brighter than a crore Suns is your radiance,
O mighty Hanuman, the Empowered Lord.

O Ocean of Grace, shower your grace and remove my arm pain —
Quickly, O Lord, show yourself to this servant in distress.

🪐 Hanuman-Shani Connection: Why Read on Saturday?
