ಮುಖ್ಯ ಪ್ರಾಣ ನಿನ್ನ ನಾಮ ಸ್ಮರಿಸಲಿ ಮನಾ |
ವಾಯುನಂದನ ವಾನರ ಶ್ರೇಷ್ಠನ ಸ್ಮರಿಸಲಿ ಮನಾ ||
ಅಂಜನೇಯ ಪುತ್ರ ನೀನೆ ರವಿಯ ಸುತನ ಮಿತ್ರನಂತೆ |
ಬ್ರಹ್ಮರೂಪ ಬಹು ಪ್ರತಾಪಿ, ಪರಮ ಪಾವನ || ೧ ||
ಮೂಡುವೇಣು ಪುರದಿ ಮೆರೆವ ಮಹಾಮಹಿಮ ಅಂಜನೇಯ |
ಭವದ ಚಿಂತೆ ದೂರ ಮಾಡೋ ಗುರುವೇ ಮನಕೆ ಶಾಂತಿ ನೀಡು || ೨ ||
🔤 English Transliteration:
mukhya prana ninna nama smarisali mana
vayunandana vanara shreshthana smarisali mana
anjaneya putra neene ravaiya sutana mitrananthe
brahmarupa bahu pratapi, parama pavana ||1||
mooduvenu puradi mereva mahamahima anjaneya
bhavada cinte dura mado guruve manake shanti needu ||2||
🌸 English Meaning:
O my mind, remember always the holy name of Mukhya Prana (Hanuman),
Recall the son of Vayu, the noble and foremost among the Vanaras.
You are indeed the son of Anjana, a dear companion of the Sun’s son Sugriva,
You are of divine form, immensely powerful, and supremely pure. ||1||
O great Anjaneya, whose glory shines across all directions,
Remove the worries of worldly life, O Guru, and grant peace to my heart. ||2||
🪔 Reflection:
This bhajan invokes Hanuman as Mukhya Prana, the life-force that sustains existence. By urging the mind to remember His name, it reflects the power of constant remembrance (smarana) as a means to purify thought and action. The song portrays Hanuman not only as the strong Vanara hero but also as a divine Guru whose presence grants both courage and peace.
The first verse highlights his divine lineage—son of Anjana and Vayu, and loyal ally of Sugriva, the Sun God’s offspring—underscoring Hanuman’s qualities of loyalty, purity, and unmatched valor. The second verse moves inward, from external praise to personal prayer: the devotee surrenders worldly anxieties at the feet of Hanuman and seeks inner tranquility. This shift from glory to guidance reveals Hanuman’s dual role—both as an epic hero and as a spiritual master.
Traditionally, such songs were sung in temples and bhajan gatherings to keep the heart anchored in devotion. The composer remains unknown, but the bhajan draws from the Dasa Sahitya tradition of Karnataka, where saints and devotees sang of gods not only in lofty terms but also as intimate guides. Its enduring message is simple yet profound: when the mind is restless, turn to Hanuman—his remembrance transforms fear into faith, and anxiety into peace.
