When and How to Chant Hanuman Mantras
To get the maximum benefit from chanting Hanuman mantras, it’s important to follow a disciplined practice.
- Chant During Brahma Muhurat: The time between 4:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m., known as Brahma Muhurat, is considered the most auspicious for spiritual practices. During this time, the mind is clear, and the atmosphere is charged with positive energy.
- Choose a Clean and Quiet Space: Create a sacred space for chanting. Light a diya (lamp) or incense, and keep an idol or picture of Lord Hanuman nearby to focus your devotion.
- Use a Mala: For certain mantras, chanting 108 times is considered auspicious. Use a rudraksha mala (prayer beads) to keep count and focus on each repetition.
- Offer Prasad: Offering sweets like ladoos (Hanuman’s favorite) or fruits during prayer can enhance the spiritual energy of your practice.
