When Lord Raama fulfilled the purpose of his avathaaram, he was
getting ready to return to swadhaamam or Vaikundham. He invited
Hanumanji to Vaikundham because he was one of his greatest devotee
during Raamaavathara. With utmost respect and devotion he asked Lord
Raama whether he could decline his invitation. Hanuman told Lord that
he was very reluctant to give up the body embraced by Lord. Also he
was still not satisfied by enjoying the bliss of having Lord in his
heart and His naamam on his lips. He would rather live here on the
earth and enjoy the bliss of devotion to Lord Raama. In Vaikundham he
will not be able to enjoy the form of Lord Raama. Raama agreed to his
wish and blessed him to be a chiranjeevi, one who lives eternally or
for long long time. Hanumanji lives in Gandhamaadana parvatham.
It is believed that wherever Raamayana paaraayanam is conducted, or
where ever Raama naamam is chanted with devotion, Hanumanji occupies a
seat among the audience. During paaraayanam. usually a special peetham
or seat is left for Hanumanji to sit and listen. And the slokam below
is a beautiful verbal picture of Hanumanji listening to the Raamaayana
paaraayanam:
Yathra Yathra Raghunaatha Keerthanam
Thathra Thathra Kritha Masthakaanjalim
(thathra thathra kritham hasthaka anjalim is onother version)
Bhaashpa Vaari Paripoorna Lochanam
Maaruthim Namatha: Raakshasaaanthakam
"Where ever Raghunaama keerthanam is chanted, there Hanumaanji is
present with folded hands lifting high above his head and eyes filled
with tears of love and devotion for Lord Raama. I bow to that Maaruthi
who helped Lord to annihilate the Raakshasa King Raavana."
There is another nice sloka chanted daily by thousands and thousands
of devotees. I am sure a lot of people already know this slokam. I am
sharing this with all devotees who are not familiar with this
beautiful "kaarya saadhya" or wish-fulfilling slokam.

Raama Dhootha Krupaa Sindho:
Math Kaaryam Saadhaya Prabho:
"Oh Lord, YOU are capable of doing the impossible; is there any act
which is not possible for YOU?
Oh Compassionate Lord, who is Sri Raamaa's messenger or dootha,
please fulfill my request "
