jaya śrī rāma
Meaning
The cry of victory to Shri Rama — a name of faith and nerve. Hanuman's own bhakti stands on this name, which is why the Hanuman Chalisa and aarti pair with this jaap. Where there is fear, this is the name the tradition hands over.
How to do the jaap
Tuesday and Saturday are Hanuman's days — the mala of this name traditionally follows the Chalisa. On a mala of 108.
