THIS WAS WIDELY KNOWN IN ANCIENT BHAARATH (INDIA). IN THE RAAMAAYAN, HANUMAN IS DESCRIBED TO BE OF "REDDISH - WHITE" COMPLEXION. IT SEEMS THAT HE WAS OF DARK RED COMPLEXION WHEN A CHILD, REDDISH - WHITE DURING HIS YOUTH AND OF GOLDEN COMPLEXION (GAURA VARNA) IN HIS ADOLESCENCE. DUE TO HIS INFINITE LONG SPAN, HE MIGHT HAVE APPEARED "BLUEISH" IN HIS OLDEN DAYS. EVERY BHAKTHA HAS A DIFFERENT VISION OF HIS DEITY. ALL OF THEM ARE TRUE. GODS APPEAR TO MEN ACCORDING TO THEIR IMAGINATION AND WISH. > 2. I read a article on the web stating that Hanuman is becoming a more popular deity because of his sex appeal. What could they mean by this? Is it because he is shown with a very muscular strengthful form in pictures? > > Thanks for any response...Sri Hanuman Jai! THIS IS HIGHLY CONDEMNABLE. THE LORD IS AN EPITOME OF CELIBACY, DEVOTION AND SERVICE. SOME PEOPLE, WHO CAN'T UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF SUCH VIRTUES WRITE WHATEVER DIRTY THINGS THAT COME TO THEIR MIND. AFTER ALL, THEY CANNOT THINK BEYOND EATING AND HAVING SEX. --- End forwarded message --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
