Hanuman — Patron of Wrestlers

The divine protector of Akhadas — embodiment of strength, celibacy, and devotion

← Akhada Tradition

The Ojas Doctrine

In Akhada tradition, wrestlers observe brahmacharya (celibacy) and redirect sexual energy — called Ojas — into physical and spiritual strength. Hanuman, the eternal celibate and supreme athlete, is the ideal. Every Akhada has a Hanuman shrine. Training begins with prostration before Hanuman.
