About This Stotram
Overview
The Hanuman Ashtottara Sata Namavali is a liturgical list of 108 names of Lord Hanuman, structured for use in puja archana. Each name identifies a specific quality, deed, or aspect of Hanuman drawn from the Ramayana and Puranic tradition — including his strength, his parentage as the son of Vayu, his devotion to Rama, and his role in key episodes of the Ramayana. The text belongs to the broader body of Hanuman devotional literature prevalent across Hindu traditions.

What is the historical and traditional background?
Lord Hanuman is a central figure in the Valmiki Ramayana, where his role as Rama's emissary and devoted servant is narrated in detail. Hanuman worship developed into a widespread independent tradition during the medieval period, supported by texts such as the Hanuman Chalisa and the Sundara Kanda of the Ramayana. Ashtottara Sata Namavalis are a standard genre of devotional compilation drawing from a deity's attributes across scriptural sources. The specific authorship and date of this namavali are not documented, but the tradition of 108-name recitation for Hanuman is well established in temple and home worship across India.
