Tatra Tatra Krit Masta Kanjalim.
Bhaspa Vaari Paripoorna lochanan,
Marutim Namat Raksha Santakam.
Meaning: Wherever there is a chanting of the name of Lord Raghunath, there he (Hanuman ji) appears with surrendered heads, joined hands with lotus hands and tears of joy in the eyes. We offer our salutations to Shri Hanuman, the slayer of demons.
यत्र यत्र रघुनाथ कीर्तनं,
तत्र तत्र कृतमस्तकाञ्जलिम् ।
भाष्पवारि परिपूर्ण लोचनं,
मारुतिं नमत राक्षसान्तकम् ।।
Meaning in Hindi: जहाँ कहीं भी भगवान रघुनाथ का कीर्तन होता है, वहां शरणागत मस्तक, जुडे हुए हस्त कमल और नेत्रों में भावपूर्ण आनंद अश्रुके साथ उपस्थित होते हैं , हम ऐसे राक्षसों के संहारक श्री हनुमान को प्रणाम करते हैं।
That means wherever there is a chanting of the name of Ram, Hanuaman ji appears.
अर्थात जहां भी राम नाम का जाप होता है, वहां हनुमान जी प्रकट होते हैं।
Now some people say, how is this possible because how can someone be present in so many places at same time?
So, to answer this question let me tell you that Hanuman ji possess Eight Super Powers (अष्ट सिद्धि ) and Hanuman ji has abilities to remain on multiple places at same time.
