What Kesariya is

Kesariya is a fully static, English-first site for reciting Hanuman ji's stotras. Every verse is given three ways: in Devanagari, in friendly romanization, and in a plain-English working translation. Every text carries its provenance and its translation status. The originals are public domain; Kesariya's own words are CC BY-SA 4.0.

Who Hanuman ji is

Hanuman ji is the devoted servant of Rama in the Ramayana: the one who leaped the ocean, found Sita, and carried a mountain of herbs to save a life. Devotees turn to him for strength, courage, and the removal of obstacles. Read his story and what his symbols mean.
