Hanuman: Deity of Strength, Devotion, and Courage
Lord Hanuman is one of the most beloved figures in the Hindu tradition, celebrated across the Ramayana epic as the devoted servant of Lord Rama and a symbol of extraordinary strength, fearlessness, and unwavering bhakti (devotion). Hanuman is invoked by practitioners who face physical challenges, court difficulties, fear, or obstacles that require courage to overcome. In South Indian and North Indian puja traditions alike, Tuesdays and Saturdays are considered auspicious days for Hanuman worship, and morning puja with incense is a standard part of that observance.
Sree Vani is a South Indian incense manufacturer whose Little God Series is hand-rolled using masala blending techniques, producing sticks with a richer, more resinous character than machine-extruded formats. Their Hanuman formula carries warm, earthy undertones suited to devotional use, distinct from lighter floral blends typical of Zen or Tibetan contexts. The 15-stick pack format is sized for regular use rather than occasional burning, making it a practical choice for daily puja setups.
How This Incense Fits into Hanuman Puja Practice
A traditional Hanuman puja setup includes a clean cloth or mat, an image or murti of Hanuman, fresh flowers (red or yellow are customary), a diya or oil lamp, and incense. The sticks are lit at the start of puja while chanting Om Hanumate Namah, inviting Hanuman’s presence into the space. Unlike the hoodoo-adjacent incense blends used for money-drawing or jinx-removal, Sree Vani’s Hanuman sticks are devotional in intent, designed to support mantra recitation, the Hanuman Chalisa, and aarti rather than Western-style spellwork.
Practitioners outside the Hindu tradition who work with strength and courage as ritual themes also burn Hanuman incense during meditation or altar work. The association with fearlessness and protection from malevolent forces is well established in the Valmiki Ramayana and Tulsidas’s Ramcharitmanas, giving this incense genuine devotional lineage rather than a constructed modern meaning.
How to Use Sree Vani Hanuman Incense Sticks
How to incorporate Sree Vani Hanuman incense into a traditional morning puja or strength-focused meditation session.
- Set Up Your Puja Space
Place a clean cloth on your altar. Set an image or murti of Hanuman at center, surrounded by red or yellow flowers. Add a diya and a stick incense holder. Tuesday and Saturday mornings are the traditional days for Hanuman worship.
- Light the Incense and Begin Chanting
Light the Sree Vani Hanuman stick, let it catch for a few seconds, then gently blow out the flame. Place it in your holder. As the fragrance rises, chant Om Hanumate Namah or recite the Hanuman Chalisa, the 40-verse devotional prayer by Tulsidas.
- Offer the Incense and Close the Puja
Circle the burning stick near the image during aarti as an offering of fragrance. After puja, distribute prasad if prepared. Let the stick burn down safely in its holder on a heat-resistant surface, kept away from drafts and flammable items.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I stock Sree Vani’s Little God Series because it’s formulated for actual puja use, not just as room fragrance. The Hanuman sticks carry a warmer, more resinous profile than the lighter floral blends, appropriate for a deity associated with fire, strength, and martial valor.
