Shri Hanuman Prashnavali

What is Hanuman Prashnavali?

Hanuman Prashnavali is a devotional oracle centered on Shri Hanuman — revered as the deity of courage, strength, and unwavering devotion. Devotees turn to him specifically when seeking guidance in moments that call for resolve: overcoming an obstacle, facing uncertainty, or needing reassurance before a difficult step. As with other Prashnavali traditions, a sincere question is held in mind and answered by a passage selected at random from the grid.

How the Grid Works

The numbers arranged in the triangular grid above each correspond to a verse tied to Lord Hanuman's attributes and deeds. Selecting a number reveals that verse along with its meaning, which is read as the guidance offered for your question. The triangular shape of the grid is itself a common visual motif in Hanuman-related devotional art, echoing his mountain-lifting strength.

How to Ask a Question

• Focus your mind: Take a moment to quiet your thoughts before framing your question clearly.
• Remember Hanuman: Traditionally, chanting “Jai Hanuman” or a line from the Hanuman Chalisa before beginning is considered auspicious.
• Choose instinctively: Pick a number from the grid without deliberating — the spontaneous choice is part of the practice.
• One question per sitting: Ask a single, sincere question rather than repeating it in search of a different answer.
