मनोजवं मारुततुल्यवेगं जितेन्द्रियं बुद्धिमतां वरिष्ठम् । वातात्मजं वानरयूथमुख्यं श्रीरामदूतं शरणं प्रपद्ये ॥
Manojavaṃ Māruta-Tulya-Vegaṃ Jitendriyaṃ Buddhimatāṃ Variṣṭham | Vātātmajaṃ Vānara-Yūtha-Mukhyaṃ Śrī-Rāma-Dūtaṃ Śaraṇaṃ Prapadye ||
Simple meaning
I take refuge in Lord Hanuman, who is as swift as thought and the wind, who has mastered his senses, who is foremost among the wise, the leader of heroes, and the noble messenger of Sri Rama.
For kids
Hanuman represents having huge strength paired with gentleness, self-control, and razor-sharp intellect. It teaches children to not just be physically strong, but to rule their own temper and impulses.
Big idea
Impulse control, self-mastery, and physical-mental agility.
