About Hanuman Ji Ki Aarti — Aarti Keeje Hanuman Lala Ki
Hanuman Ji Ki Aarti — known by its opening line "Aarti Keeje Hanuman Lala Ki" (आरती कीजै हनुमान लला की) — is the principal aarti sung during Hanuman worship across India. "Hanuman Lala" is an endearing term meaning "dear Hanuman" or "beloved child Hanuman," reflecting the devotee's intimate, familial bond with the deity. While the Hanuman Chalisa is the main prayer, this aarti is the culminating devotional act — the lamp ceremony that completes the worship.
The aarti celebrates Hanuman's extraordinary qualities: his immeasurable strength (he lifted the entire Dronagiri mountain to bring the Sanjeevani herb), his unwavering devotion to Lord Rama (he tore open his chest to reveal Rama and Sita residing in his heart), his supreme humility (despite being powerful enough to leap across the ocean, he remained Rama's servant), and his immortality — Hanuman is one of the seven Chiranjeevi (immortal beings) who are said to still walk the earth. The verses also reference his burning of Lanka, his meeting with Sita in the Ashok Vatika, and his role in bringing Rama's army to victory.
Hanuman Ji Ki Aarti is performed at Hanuman temples every Tuesday and Saturday — the two days most sacred to Hanuman worship. On these days, temples across India overflow with devotees offering sindoor (vermillion), oil, garlands of red flowers, and laddoo prasad while singing this aarti. The most famous Hanuman temples where this aarti resonates daily include Sankat Mochan Temple in Varanasi, Hanuman Garhi in Ayodhya, Jakhu Temple in Shimla, and the Hanuman Temple at Connaught Place in Delhi.
In Vedic astrology, Hanuman is the deity associated with Mars (Mangal) — the planet of courage, energy, and physical strength. Devotees with a weak or afflicted Mars in their birth chart, or those undergoing Mangal Dosha effects, are advised to worship Hanuman regularly. Additionally, Hanuman is the sovereign remedy for Saturn (Shani) afflictions including Sade Sati — making Hanuman Ji Ki Aarti a dual-purpose prayer for both Mars and Saturn relief. The complete lyrics in Hindi with English translation are provided above.
Frequently Asked Questions about Hanuman Ji Ki Aarti
What is Hanuman Ji Ki Aarti and what does "Hanuman Lala" mean?
Hanuman Ji Ki Aarti — "Aarti Keeje Hanuman Lala Ki" — is the primary devotional lamp song for Lord Hanuman. "Hanuman Lala" is a term of endearment meaning "beloved child Hanuman" or "dear son Hanuman," reflecting the intimate, familial love devotees feel for him. In Hindi tradition, "Lala" is used for a beloved son — and since Hanuman is the son of Anjana and Vayu (the wind god), devotees address him with this parental affection. The aarti is sung while waving a lit lamp in circular motion before a Hanuman image or idol.
When should I perform Hanuman Ji Ki Aarti?
The most auspicious days are Tuesday (Mangalvar) and Saturday (Shanivar) — both sacred to Hanuman. The aarti is performed after reciting the Hanuman Chalisa as the concluding act of worship. It is especially significant on Hanuman Jayanti (birth celebration, typically in Chaitra month), during Sade Sati period for Saturn relief, and on full moon days (Purnima). The morning aarti (after sunrise) and evening aarti (at sunset) are the two traditional daily timings at Hanuman temples.
What are the benefits of singing Hanuman Aarti?
Regular Hanuman Aarti is believed to: grant physical courage and mental strength, provide protection from evil spirits, black magic, and negative energies (Hanuman is considered the supreme protector against supernatural forces), reduce Mangal Dosha effects for those with Mars affliction in their chart, mitigate Saturn's Sade Sati intensity, remove fear and anxiety, and bring success in physical and athletic endeavors. Hanuman's energy is fundamentally protective — his aarti creates a shield around the devotee and the home.
What is the difference between Hanuman Aarti and Hanuman Chalisa?
The Hanuman Chalisa is a 40-verse prayer recited sitting down with eyes closed — it is the main body of Hanuman worship, describing his qualities and deeds in detail. Hanuman Ji Ki Aarti is the concluding ceremony — a shorter, more celebratory song sung while waving a lit lamp before the deity. Think of the Chalisa as the conversation with Hanuman and the Aarti as the final offering of light. The traditional worship sequence is: Chalisa first, then Aarti, then Prasad distribution.
Why is Hanuman worshipped on both Tuesday and Saturday?
Tuesday (Mangalvar) is Mars's day — and Hanuman is the deity of Mars in Vedic astrology. Worshipping Hanuman on Tuesday strengthens Mars and grants physical courage. Saturday (Shanivar) is Saturn's day — and Hanuman famously subdued Shani Dev, making him the go-to deity for Saturn relief. So Tuesday worship is for gaining Mars's positive energy (strength, courage, victory), while Saturday worship is for neutralizing Saturn's negative effects (Sade Sati, Dhaiya, delays). Devotees who want both benefits worship Hanuman on both days.
How to perform Hanuman Puja and Aarti at home?
To perform Hanuman Puja at home: 1) Place a Hanuman image or idol facing south or east. 2) Apply sindoor (vermillion) to the image — Hanuman loves sindoor because Sita applied it to her hair for Rama's long life, and Hanuman covered his entire body with it. 3) Offer jasmine oil or mustard oil, red flowers, and laddoo (especially besan laddoo). 4) Light a mustard oil lamp. 5) Recite Hanuman Chalisa. 6) Sing the aarti while waving the lamp clockwise. 7) Distribute laddoo prasad. For severe problems, add Bajrang Baan before the Chalisa.
