Honoured with the sacred betel pledge (beera) by Lord Rama, he was dispatched across the ocean; he burned Lanka to ashes and brought back the auspicious news of Mother Sita.

Spiritual & Philosophical Insights
The Cosmic Illumination of Aarti (Deepa Aradhana)
The ritual of Aarti involves waving a sacred camphor flame in circular motions before the deity. This represents the total dissolution of the devotee’s individual ego into the supreme effulgence of the divine, as camphor burns without leaving any ash or residue.
Sant Ramanand’s Bhakti Legacy
Composed by Sant Ramanand, the pioneer of the medieval North Indian Bhakti renaissance and guru to saints like Kabir and Ravidas, this Aarti addresses Hanuman with maternal sweetness as "Lala" (beloved divine son) while celebrating his awe-inspiring heroism.
The Golden Thali of Mother Anjana
Verse 6 immortalizes Mother Anjana herself performing Aarti for her divine child with a golden platter glowing with camphor fire, bridging high epic heroism (Vira Rasa) with deep maternal affection (Vatsalya Bhava).
Chanting Rules, Auspicious Timing & Method
Evening twilight (Sandhya Kaal), immediately following the recitation of Hanuman Chalisa or Sundarkand.
Sung daily in household mandirs, with special festive singing on Tuesday and Saturday evenings.
Stand reverently holding the Aarti thali with both hands; move the flame slowly in a clockwise circular motion before the altar.
Use pure Bhimseni camphor (kapoor) or a brass deepa with five cotton wicks fueled by cow ghee. Offer red flowers, incense (dhoop), and sweet prasad (jaggery, laddoos, or batasha).
Sung once with harmonious ringing of the ghanta (bell) and rhythmic clapping, followed by receiving the sanctified flame (Aarti Lena).

Tradition recommends reciting the Hanuman Chalisa and Sankat Mochan Ashtak prior to the evening Aarti.
