I bless that you gain immortality and be a "chiranjeev". Lord Rama told Hanuman, "Whatever you have done for me is simply immeasurable. After Lord Ram succeeded in the battle against Ravan, on return to Ayodhya, the Lord bestowed gifts to everyone to celebrate the victory.However, he offered himself as a gift to Hanumanji. The devotion of Lord Hanuman to Sri ram is unparalleled. It is said that whenever you recite the hymn – Sriram jayaram jaya jaya ram, Lord Hanuman will be quick to come to the aid of the person chanting it.The devotion of Lord Hanuman to Lord Ram and Seeta Maiyya is of course legendary.Children dote on the intrepid Hanuman who attempted to swallow the Sun thinking it was a fruit.Many people wear Hanuman taweez (a kind of metal object) to ward off evil.Why do we pray to Hanumanji ? We pray to him for giving us physical and mental strength,to ward off the negative/evil influences from our lives,to obliterate our timidity/cowardice and to sharpen our intellect.When we pray to Lord Hanuman with a pure heart and an unshakeable faith, he is sure to come to our rescue.Hanumanji is known to have stormed the Ashok van in Lanka (where Seeta Maiyya was held captive by Ravan).The Ashok van was a place with such a high security that even air could not enter.That is why – we say that Hanumanji is the one who can make the “asathya” (impossible) into “sathya” (that which is possible). Lord Hanuman is called as the “ Chiranjeevi” (the Immortal).In India, Lord Hanuman is revered by one and all.One can see huge crowds thronging the Hanuman temples across the country on Saturdays.This is to appease Hanumanji and propitiate the Sani Bhagwan, who as per legend, runs scared of Hanumanji.
