Stotra on Hanuman





Is it possible for a devotee to become God? Yes, say the Hindus. Hanuman, who lived in Rama's shadow all his life , is one of the most popular Gods. He is the son of Vayu and is a monkey. He is called Mahabir, the great hero in North India. Devotees easily identify themselves with his simple devotion to God Rama. Here are some slokas about Hanuman:- Sloka starting with "Manojavam .."
