12 Names of Hanuman to Get Rid of Fear | Hanuman Dwadasa Nama Stotram

Hanuman Dwadasa Nama Stotram is a hymn that contains 12 names of Lord Hanuman.

Many practices are followed by religious minded or even common people to get rid of the fear or to get protection from the various problems of life.

Some people wear yantras or lockets offered by holy people, sadhus, and priests. Some others recite mantras prescribed for these purposes as mentioned in our Vedas and Puranas.

One such method of chanting mantras or hymns is that of the reciting of the 12 names of Lord Hanuman which are recited along with another small concluding hymn or sloka to proclaim 'Amen' to the wish so that it will yield fruitful and divine results.

As usual, I am presenting this stotram also in all the three languages of English, Telugu, and Hindi with meanings in English.
