How to Read Shri Bajrang Baan
Read it on Tuesdays or Saturdays, after bathing, with a lamp lit, especially at a time of difficulty or fear. By tradition it's recommended mainly when genuinely needed — for everyday reading, the Hanuman Chalisa is preferred.
About Shri Bajrang Baan
The Bajrang Baan is a forceful hymn dedicated to Hanuman, traditionally attributed to Goswami Tulsidas, though its authorship is less firmly established than the Hanuman Chalisa's. It's composed in the same doha-chaupai verse form, but unlike a chalisa, it isn't fixed at forty verses — popular printed editions carry between thirty-three and thirty-five chaupais.
This page presents the full text in clean Devanagari, with a simple meaning for every verse. Text size can be adjusted, and the full reading can also be printed.
About Goswami Tulsidas
Goswami Tulsidas (Samvat 1554–1680) was a great saint-poet of North India, who composed the Shri Ramcharitmanas in the Awadhi language — still the most widely read text in North India today. Many of his shorter works, including the Hanuman Chalisa, Vinay Patrika, Kavitavali, Dohavali, and Janaki Mangal, are still read and sung in homes across the region. He spent most of his life in Varanasi and is revered as one of Shri Ram's foremost devotees.
