Hanuman Ashtak PDF
॥ संकटमोचन हनुमान अष्टक ॥
Two clean PDFs of the Sankat Mochan Hanuman Ashtak to download and keep. One is the Hindi paath (likhit), the other is English with the meaning. Both print nicely on one or two pages, good for daily paath or to keep in the mandir at home.
What is inside each PDF
The Hindi PDF has the complete eight verses and the doha in Devanagari, in a big enough size to read comfortably, nothing else on the page. The English PDF has the Roman transliteration with the meaning of each verse, made for those who cannot read Hindi yet. Both carry a small header and the site name, and nothing else, no ads, no watermark across the text.
Hindi or English, which one to pick
If you can read Devanagari, take the Hindi PDF, it is the actual paath and the one to keep in your mandir. If Hindi is still new for you, or you want to understand while you read, take the English PDF, the Roman helps you say the words and the meaning tells you what you are saying. Many people keep both, Hindi for the daily paath and English to learn from.
How to use it
On a phone the PDF opens straight in the browser, you can read from there or save it for offline. To print, open the file and choose print, A4 size, and it comes out clean on one or two pages. A lot of devotees print the Hindi one, laminate it, and keep it near the diya so the paper does not spoil. You are also welcome to share the file on WhatsApp with family, that sharing is a good thing.
If you would rather read on screen first, the full Hanuman Ashtak in Hindi is here, the English lyrics too, and you can play the audio and chant along.
