Lord Hanuman is as swift as the mind and as fast as the Wind God (Vaayu); He is the one who has conquered the senses; a master of Senses who keeps them always under his control; foremost among the intelligentsia, honoured for his learning, intelligence and wisdom; who is the son (Pavana Puthra) and incarnation of the Wind God (Vaayu); who is the chief of the army of Vanaras (Monkeys); who is the messenger (emissary) of Lord Sri Rama; I surrender to such mighty God Lord Hanuman.

Above prayer sloka of Hanuman says that wherever RAMA naama is sung, he is present though not visible, with his eyes full of tears and with his hands folded in prayer to His Lord Sri Rama.

Hanuman undoubtedly the greatest devotee of Lord Sri Rama continuously chanted this Tharaka manthra (RAMA NAMA) that helped him to accomplish several extraordinary feats during epic Ramayana and also endorsed him the status of Bhavishya Brahma, going to be the future Brahma in the coming Ages.

Above sloka from Aanjaneya Sthuthi is just an example of benefits of praying Lord Hanuman. One will be blessed with wisdom, strength, fame, valor, fearlessness, good health, dearth of lethargy and speech vigor by worshiping Lord Hanuman.
