Guest guest Posted April 9, 2002 Report Share Posted April 9, 2002 adi_shakthi16 THe story of vir hanuman is a facinating story . vir bhakth hanuman's character is the embodiment of valor, loyalty and devotion. Lord hanuman worshipped lord rama in the classic DAASYA bhava of bhakti- the master-servant relationship. (READ DEVI BHAKTA'S POST) Hanuman plays a prominent part in ramayana-sunderkand in ramayana glorifies the valiant feat performed by vir hanuman hanuman helped sri rama in rescuing sita from the clutches of the demon king ravana . Hanuman also carried Sri Rama and Lakshmana on his shoulder when they were in search of Sugreeva, the king of Vanara in Kishkindha and helped them to find Sita. Prior to the war between Sri Rama and Ravana, hanuman visited Lanka, met Ravana, created havoc and burnt down the city of Lanka (Lanka Dahan). During the war, when Lakshmana was injured seriously, Sushena, the surgeon/physician of the monkey army, despatched haanuman to bring herbal medicine, Jadi Buti, from the far-off Sanjeevini mountain in the Himalayas, before sunrise. Flying over the Himalayas and unable to identify the particular herb quickly, Hanuman uprooted and carried the entire Sanjivini mountain in time to save the life of Lakshmana. Hanuman was blessed by Sri Rama with immortality (chiranjeevi). Hanuman was a bachelor and is worshipped in all the temples of India. Every temple of Sri Rama contains an icon of Hanuman. The worship of Sri Rama is complete only with the worship of Hanuman. Sant Tulsidas composed the 40 stanzas of Hanuman Chalisa in praise of Hanuman. Ha means Isvara, Supreme Consciousness; Nu means that which pervades; man means manifested, thus, Hanuman is the manifested existence of the Supreme Consciousness that pervades all. hanumanjis also known by other names such as Anjaneya, Anjali Putra, Bajarangabali, Hanuman, Mahaveer, Maruti, Pavanputra etc. Hanuman, the Monkey God, is the son of Vayu or Marut, the wind god. Hanuman's mother is Anjana. (the queen of monkeys) Hanuman is the fastest and the most agile god. the worship of the Lord as a servant,(dasya) is one of the popular bhavas in bhakti-here, the bhakta sees himself as a selfless servant serving god in every possible way. Once, sita devi was applying sindur (red kumkum ) on her forehead and when hanumanji saw that he asked sita devi the significance of applying the sindur- sita devi replied " hanuman beta, when a woman applies sindur on her forehead, she is parying for the longetivity of her husbband's life and i am praying for sri rama's long life. " immediately,, hanumanji went and applied sindur all over his body and told sita devi " mataji, now i have applied sindur all over my body and sri rama will be immortal, eternal and ever lasting." that is why, in hindu temples, one will see hanuman's body smeared with the red SINDUR. MORE STORIES ON HANUMAN.... adi_shakthi16 This is the story one cannot find in the epic Ramayana. After the victory over Ravana; Ram, Sita, Bharat, Hanuman and his guards were returning to Ayodhya. On the way, they camped at the seashore. Ram and Sita were resting in their tent, while Bharat was relaxing in his. Hanuman as always was alert and was sitting on one of the branches of a nearby tree, keeping vigil. At that moment, Hanuman saw Ram coming out of his tent. It was late in the night and Ram stood still near the waters. To Hanuman's surprise, Ram picked up a stone, looked at it, and threw it in the waters. Soon it disappeared. Ram took another stone and threw it in the water. That too disappeared. This continued for some time. Ram went on picking stones and throwing them into the water. Hanuman was dumbfounded. He could not understand Ram's strange behavior. He could not restrain himself any more. He jumped from the tree and went to Ram and asked him, "What are you doing, My Lord ?Oh Hanuman, I was thinking about you and your fellow men, who have befooled me. You said that you could build a bridge on the sea to Lanka by just throwing the stones in the sea, and that they floated as you recited my name." Ram said angrily. "But that is a fact !" replied Hanuman. "This cannot be true. I am attempting the same feat but to no avail. Now tell me how can it be possible ?" Ram asked. "But sir, there is a basic difference," replied Hanuman, "The stones carried our faith in your name !" FAITH CAN BUILD BRIDGES... jai vir hanuman ki!
