Prayer- Sankatmochan Hanumanashtak
Composer- Goswami Tulsidas
Language- Awadhi
Deity- Hanuman
It is said that around 1560s Tulsidas ji used to recite Shri Ram Stuti daily in the forests of Varanasi. To hear him many people gathered . The recitation was also attended by an elderly person suffering from Kusth rog( leprosy). He used to sit at the end of the gathering.
One day Tulsidas ji noticed this person . He started running away and Tulsidas ji followed him .
He caught the feet of that old man and said :
” Prabhu Darshan dijiye ” — O Lord , please show your real form.
The elderly person was none other than Lord Hanuman. At the request of Tulsidas , he converted himself into a clay idol. The idol is worshipped today at the same place where Tulsidas caught his feet.
The temple is called Sankatmochan Mandir of Varanasi.
To praise the idol Tulsidas ji wrote ‘ Sankatmochan Hanumanashtak’, and ‘Hanuman Bahuk’.
