We haven't heard that he is Siva. what sastra did you find this in? >Will the devotees of Sri Hanuman be liberated as > they are > serving a pure devotee of the Lord? Even devotees of Lord Sri Krishna are not all liberated if they have many material desires. Their liberation is delayed. It will be considered on an individual basis, but certainly they are benefitted from their worship of Hanuman. More so if done in a devotional mood. > When Ram ended his lila in this world, > Did > he ask Hanuman to go to Kailash and continue Bhajan ? what sastra says that? In works of six goswami's Hanuman is not in Kailash but in Kimpurusa Loka, if I am not mistaken. > > 2) Why don't some become devotees of the Lord even after hearing about the > Lord > and Bhagavath gita etc and at the same time some become devotees and start > chanting? Is it due to their past pious deeds or sukruthi etc? Many factors are there. Causeless mercy of Guru & Krishna is a big factor. Also sukriti is a factor. Desires are also important.

If someone wants to be initiated but due to some obstacles they are not able to achieve it before death they can still be delivered by the mercy of the holy name if they are chanting purely.
