Shri Hanuman Vadavanala Stotram

Shri Hanuman Vadavanala Stotram (literally meaning "The Submarine Fire Hymn of Lord Hanuman") is an extremely potent Tantric Mantra stotram composed by Vibhishana (the righteous brother of Ravana and ardent devotee of Sri Rama).

Vadavanala refers to the fierce, unquenchable cosmic fire that resides beneath the ocean bed. In this stotram, Lord Hanuman is invoked as the embodiment of this all-consuming Vadavanala fire that incinerates all demoniac forces, diseases, poison, black magic, and planetary afflictions.

Chanting this stotram creates a roaring ring of fire around the devotee, destroying enemy conspiracies, acute illnesses, and evil spirits instantly.
