The power of Hanuman’s tail is most vividly portrayed in the Ramayana. When searching for Sita in Lanka, Hanuman allowed Ravana’s soldiers to capture him to deliver Rama’s message. Ravana ordered his tail to be set on fire, mocking Hanuman. However, Hanuman grew in size, leapt across Lanka, and used his burning tail to destroy the city. This act symbolized divine retribution, burning Ravana’s arrogance to ashes and establishing Hanuman’s tail as a weapon of justice.

In the Skanda Purana, Hanuman’s tail is described as a source of immense energy, protecting devotees from harm. It symbolizes his indestructible strength and relentless devotion to righteousness. The Langoolastra Stotra invokes this legendary power to destroy evil forces, ensuring safety, courage, and spiritual protection for devotees.

Correct manner to Perform the Hanuman Langoolastra Stotra

Performing the Hanuman Langoolastra Stotra requires devotion and focus on Lord Hanuman. Begin by purifying your mind and body through meditation or a bath, creating a calm and sacred atmosphere. Sit in a clean and peaceful place, preferably early in the morning or during auspicious occasions like Hanuman Jayanti. Light a diya (oil lamp) and offer flowers, jaggery, and sindoor (vermilion) at Hanuman’s feet. Chant the stotra with sincerity, visualizing Hanuman’s mighty form and his protective tail. Recite the verses in multiples of three or 11 for maximum spiritual impact. Optional: Conclude with an aarti (devotional song) and distribute prasad. This ritual strengthens the connection with Hanuman, invoking his blessings for protection and courage.
