Lord Hanuman: The Kalpavriksha

Hanuman as we all know is the living god and very popular due to Hanuman Chalisa.
All the Hanuman are very well aware about the powerful grace of Lord.
For all those who are the selfless, those who are devoted to Hanuman, those who are devoted to Shri Rama, those who spread love among all are the ones who find, that wherever they go, Lord Hanuman is always besides them whose presence is felt in each and every moment of one's life, ready to protect his bhakt from his difficulties at once.


Maitreya Muni once asked Maharishi Parashara -
O Rishi Parashara, Kaliyuga has come. People are suffering from daridrataa(poverty) and vyaadhi(diseases). The kings are doing the work of servants and sadhus are facing calamities in their life.What is the remedy to get rid of these pains? Who is going to give us freedom from all these difficulties and bless us with bhukti, swarga and moksha ?
Who is it that can remove us instantly from our sufferings?

Rishi Parashara said -
Maitreya Muni,I will now share with you the secret that was shared to me by Brahma Rishi Agastya.
O Maitreya Muni, In Kali yuga, Shaiv vidya(Shaiv mantras), Vaishnav vidya(Vaishnav Mantras), Shaakt vidya, Surya, Ganapatya and chandra vidyas don't give instant results. Their results  are earned after a long time.

The LakshmiNarayan Vidya, Bhavani Vidya, SeetaRam Mahavidya( SitaRam Maha Mantra), Panchmukhi Hanuman Vidya, Narsimha Anushtup Vidya( Ugra Veeram Mahavishnu Mantra), 8 letter Shashti Vidya, Maruti Vidya, Apara Vidya, Samrajya Lakshmi Vidya(Shodashi Vidya), MahaGanapati Vidya, Gayatri Vidya, Dakshina Kali are the 12 great vidyas which show instant results in kaliyuga.
Other than this, Baglamukhi also shows instant results in Kaliyuga.
Dakshina Kali shows results within 1 night after having completed the purashcharan of her mantras.

Out of these, the greatest vidya and fastest working vidya is Panchmukhi Hanuman Vidya.
O Muni! even the 1000 headed serpent cannot explain the glory of Panchmukhi Hanuman Vidya in a 100 years.







Using this vidya, Gargya Muni got 100 crore gold coins and lived for 1000 years.
The king Somdatt lived for 30,000 years by the grace of Hanuman and by worshipping him.


The person who does the upasana of Lord Hanuman gets the grace of Lord Indra and lord Indra makes all the kings and women like his slaves from their heart and also from their wealth.



के वा न पूजयन्तीह प्रत्यक्ष वरदायकं |
अर्चयन्तीं हनुमन्तं ब्रह्म विष्णु शिवापि ||
Meaning - (O Muni!) Who is there is this world that doesn't worship Hanuman. Even Lord Brahma, Vishnu and Shiv worship him.


हनुमत्सद्रुषं दैवं नास्ति नास्त्येव भूतले  - There is no God on this bhutala(Earth) like Hanuman.


तस्मिन्संपुजते भानुः ब्रह्मा गौरी माहेश्वरः
श्रीजानकीपतिस्साक्षात् आदि नारायणः प्रभुः |
ईश शक्र आदि दिक्पालाः कुमारो गणनायकः
ब्रह्मर्षयो वशिष्ठाद्यस्सनकाद्याश्च योगिनः
पितरो वसवो रुद्राः पुजितास्युर्न संशयः ||

Meaning - By doing upasana of Lord Hanuman, one gets what would have been achieved by worshipping Surya, Brahma, Gauri, Shiva, Shri Rama, Narayana, Indra, The 10 dikpalas, Ganesh, the 7 brahma rishis, the pitrus, the 8 Rudras; without any doubt.


Lord Brahma has blessed Hanuman that in wealth, he will be equal to Lord Narayan. In terms of destruction of enemies and any kind of negativity he will be equal to  Shiva.

हनुमत् पूजया तस्मात् पुजितास्सर्वदेवताः |
प्रतिग्रामनिवासाश्च भुयाद्रक्षो निवारणे |
Lord Brahma said to Hanuman - By worshipping you, one would get the benefit of worshipping all the gods. In every graam(town), there will be your murti in order to protect it from ghosts and dangers.

The person who worships Lord Hanuman with faith and utmost belief in him and the person who considers Hanuman his dearest friend and follows and lives the life the way Hanuman guides him to, such a person never faces sadness in life and only has peace in his life.
There is no meaning of doubting this.

The person who worships Lord  Hanuman with faith and love, gets whatever crosses his mind without even having to ask for it in front of Hanuman. Lord Hanuman fulfills all his wishes without him even asking.



Most of the times, I have seen in life, that people wish for something, but fail to achieve it. They will pray to god and no matter what they just don't get their wishes fulfilled.

Now there are 2 factors which determine about success or failure of your wish.
they are : 1) Faith & 2) Desire

One day, A man entered swarga.
He was walking on the path which was filled with beautiful trees, melodious birds, the aroma was filled with smell of pleasant champa flowers and everywhere there was pure and a sacred calm and gentleness.
The man started walking on the path and exploring the heaven. After walking for some time, he got tired and he was looking for a tree.  He started looking for a place to rest.
Soon, he found a tree which had cushiony and soft grass   and then slept under the tree with the intention of taking rest.
After sleeping for some time, he woke up he started feeling hungry and started thinking about all the delicious things he wanted to eat in life .
Instantly, all his favourite foods manifested in front of him and he was left amazed by this miracle. Then he ate all these tasty foods.
Then, he felt thirsty and wished for all the  sweet drinks he ever wanted in life.
Instantly, delicious, sweet and pleasant drinks manifested and drank  the sweet drinks.
He thought - "I am such a blessed and fortunate person".

In yoga, an unestablished mind is referred to as a markata. The two of the worst qualities of a monkey are unnecessary actions/activities/thoughts and imitation.
These 2 qualities of a monkey are the ones seen in an unestablished mind. When one has these 2 qualities in his mind, it means he is a markata.
Such a mind exist in each and every person in this world. If you don't have an unstable mind, then you are a without any doubt a Yogi.

Similarly, even this man's unestablished mind got stimulated.
The man started thinking - I asked for food, food came. I asked for water, water came. Oh! there must be a ghost around.
Instantly, ghosts came.

The man then cried and said - Oh! ghosts have come and now they are going to  surround me torture me.

Instantly, the ghosts surrounded him and started torturing him.

The man started screaming in pain and thought - Oh! they are going to kill me.
Instantly, he died.
Till just a few moments back, the person was feeling fortunate and lucky about life.
What happened was that he was sitting under a Kalpavriksha. That is why, when he asked for food, food came; when he asked for drinks, drinks came; when he asked for ghosts, ghosts came; when he thought  about torture came and when he thought about death death came.


Unfortunately, there is just one kalpavriksha left on earth today. All other Kalpavrikshas are in other lokas.





Readers, a well established  mind, the mind that is the state of yukti (meditating on god/ union with the god/the person who feels the presence of god within his mind or heart) is called as a Kalpavriksha.


Lord Buddha says, that what we think we become.

With an unstable mind, we end up thinking about everything and anything without any reason or need. And when, we keep on thinking about negative aspects of life, we in turn attract negativity even though there may be prosperity in front of you.
Many times, we wish for love or prosperity but the opposite happens.
If we ask  for success in love, we get failure instead.
This is because our words are asking for something and our mind is thinking something else.
Unless and until our heart, our mind and our faith done become one, we keep on getting some or the other problem in life.


Many times we here story of people whose particular wish got fulfilled even though it was looking completely impossible and unexpected for them.
This only happens with people who have faith.

For example, If you have wish of getting a bungalow and you start imagining about how to get your wish fulfilled. Then, you may think, "Right now I don't have that much money so it is impossible".
This word "impossible" in turn becomes a hurdle in your faith.

On one side, your words are wishing  to get a bungalow, but your mind is repeatedly saying that it's impossible.

When one has such a kind of mindset, fulfillment of wishes becomes difficult.

The person who thinks too much, for him faith never works. Faith works for the simple minded people.

The person who thinks too much goes in front of god and shares with him his wish, but at the same time tells him his problems and says that it is impossible to get his wish fulfilled.

On the other hand, the simple minded person simply goes to god, tells him his wish and asks him to fulfill his wish. He says that there are problems but he leaves it on god to do whatever is appropriate to fulfill his wish and surrenders himself to god and becomes tension free. Such a person doesn't worry whether it is possible or not. He leaves this in the hands of God.
It is this kind of mindset, which removes negativity from mind and increases our faith in god.


The only reason of the unhappiness of many of the people is that they expect life to happen the way they want.
This affects our faith in God. Because whatever God does, has a reason.
Many times we may be chanting a mantra for a particular wish and we see that instead of fulfillment of wish, we start losing what we need.
This is done by god just to understand the value of what god is going to give you.
Mantra is just a medium. But god has the  power to give you whatever you want instantly. But if god gives you everything instantly then that will be valueless for you.

The value of water is only understood by the person who has almost met death for even small ounce of water.
It is only by being diseased for a long time, that people understand the value of health. Unless and until we don't see and suffer the effects of darkness, we do not understand the importance of light and piousness.


A person can get whatever he wants, but one must have a steady focus and dedicate their heart, mind and faith on the wish without worrying even if 1000 new troubles are arising every day.
He is much bigger than your troubles.


If you want to leave your life in the hands of god, God will handle your life they way he wants to.

But the source of your unhappiness is that you want to make life work the way you want to.

When you make life work the  way you want to, you will either fail, or you will remain unsatisfied your whole life even if you have everything.
Such a person thinks that once I have this one particular thing, I will get peace in life.
When the person gets that particular thing, some new wish arises in his heart and he again becomes anxious to fulfill this new wish. And this keeps going on and on.

It is only through one pointed devotion towards god and living life the way he is guiding you, you will achieve everything you want, but the method of achieving it will be his.

If you want life to happen the way you want, you will never attain peace in life and you will forever be left anxious and fretful.




Hanuman is the kalpavriksha who is ready to fulfill even your silly wishes, but only when you give up on your doubtful mind and leave your life's well being and peace in the hands of Hanuman, and if you live the life the way Hanuman guides you to, you will not get sadness in life. This, is my belief that I have experienced over the past 4 years.

    1. Maintaining Brahmacharya is necessary when doing any kind of japa or recitation.
      If your wish is small, you can smiling to Lord Hanuman and express your wish and see what happens.
