On the one hand, we have Swami Deshikan saying that we have to worship Hanuman as a Parama Bhagavata but at other places, like in Hanuman Chalisa itself, we see that Hanuman is considered to be the avatar of Shiva. We also see that Swami Deshikan has not composed any separate poem/stotra on Hanuman like he has done for Andal, Periya Thiruvadi or Sudarshanar. In the light of all this, in the Shrivaishnava tradition, it is clear that Hanuman should not be worshipped independently but only as a bhakta of Lord Rama or may be Lord Krishna. While going through one of my acharyan father's several hand-written notebooks, I remember to have seen a note made to the effect that the great scholar Shriman D.T.Tatachar was of the opinion that Hanuman should not be worshipped without the Dhivya Dhampathis Rama and Seetha. This is exactly what the varthamana Azhagiya Shingar has conveyed too. Therefore, my humble > opinion is that while we can recite shlokas in praise of Hanuman from Shrimad Ramayanam, it may not be proper for us to recite shlokas like "buddhir balam..." >Adiyen Ramanuja Dasan >Gopinath Varadharajan <vgopinath wrote: > >In on of HIS Tele-Upanyasam, Srimad Azahgiya Singar told that we should not >pray >Sri Anjaneya, if he is Installed Alone (like seperate Anjaneya Temple) > >He should be prayed only when he is seen along with Sri Sita Rama Ghosti. > >Pls. correct me if my understanding was wrong. > >Gopi > > > >- > "Dr. V.
