Origin & History

Source: A traditional compilation of three revered Hanuman verses: the dhyana shloka (also in Rama Raksha Stotra), the Parashara Samhita verse 'Buddhir balam', and Valmiki Ramayana Sundara Kanda 39.4

Author: Verses traditional; the third is Valmiki (Sita's words in the Sundara Kanda)

Period: Ancient (Ramayana) and traditional

The heart of this prayer is a verse from the Sundara Kanda: when Hanuman finally finds Sita captive in Lanka and prepares to return to Rama, Sita entrusts him with the success of the mission, saying 'In this task you alone are the proof of capability, O best of the vanaras; strive, Hanuman, and become the destroyer of my sorrow.' Because Hanuman did accomplish that seemingly impossible task, these words are recited as the foremost prayer for Karya Siddhi — success in difficult undertakings — together with his dhyana shloka and the verse listing the eight boons of his remembrance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Karya Siddhi Hanuman Stotram?
It is a short prayer to Lord Hanuman for 'Karya Siddhi' — the successful accomplishment of one's tasks and goals. It combines the Hanuman dhyana 'Manojavam', the verse 'Buddhir balam yasho dhairyam', and Sita's Sundara Kanda appeal 'Tvamasmin karya niryoge'.
Where does the 'Tvamasmin karya niryoge' verse come from?
It is from Valmiki's Ramayana, Sundara Kanda (Sarga 39), spoken by Mother Sita to Hanuman in Ashoka Vatika. She tells him that he alone is capable of accomplishing the task and asks him to strive and end her sorrow — which is why it is treasured as the supreme prayer for success.
What are the eight gifts mentioned in 'Buddhir balam'?
The verse lists eight blessings that come from remembering Hanuman: buddhi (intelligence), bala (strength), yasha (fame), dhairya (courage), nirbhayatva (fearlessness), arogata (health), ajadya (alertness) and vak-patutva (eloquence). This verse is from the Parashara Samhita.
When should I chant it?
Chant it on Tuesdays and Saturdays, and especially before beginning any important task, examination, interview, journey or new venture, mentally placing your goal before Hanuman and praying for its fulfilment.
