What is the Hanuman Mantra?
The Om Hum Hanumate Namah mantra is dedicated to the great Rama devotee Hanuman or Lord Anjaneya. Know that Lord Anjaneya is the mediator towards your Ishta Devata. Hence he is also known as Ram doot. Here doot means messenger.
He conveys your feelings to your Ishta Devata. Just as in the material world one gets a job through recommendations, Lord Hanuman books an appointment with the deity of your heart. Many Shakta and Shaiva Sadhakas have revealed that during sadhana, they have had visions of Lord Hanuman.

Chanting Rama Nama aids the Anjaneya Mantra
It is advised to chant Rama mantra when you chant the Anjaneya mantra. Hanumanji Maharaj is eternally present with those who recite Rama Nama. More than chanting his own name he relishes hearing Rama Nama. Wherever there is Rama Katha, Lord Hanuman sits patiently and hears it.
I advise you to chant one round of Sri Rama Jai Rama Jai Jai Ram mantra before starting Hanuman sadhana. There is no initiation required for this Rama mantra because it falls under the category of Nama mantra.
If you chant the Sri Ram Jai Ram Mantra, you can get a Guru who will be able to initiate you into the Om Ham Hanumate namah. You can watch our video on Sri Rama Jai Ram Jai Jai Rama to know its benefits.

Light incense sticks and keep the ambience fragrant. You can take a sankalpa of 11 days, 21 days or 41 days. Keep away from addictive substances such as smoking, drinking, tobacco and non-vegetarian food. You should possess the qualities of the deity you are worshiping.
This is mandatory. Follow non-violence and do not intend to hurt even the tiniest of creatures. If you do not have a guru, consider Lord Shiva as Vishwa Guru and chant one round of Namah Shivaya mantra also, without the chant of OM. Watch our video on Om Namaha Shivaya mantra to know its benefits.
