Hanuman's Birthday, Thursday

[Guest guest]

Namaste all family: Thursday night is Hanuman's birthday. While there will be

a puja at the Temple that night, the web camera is out of action and it is

unclear if it will be running by then.

If we cannot be together on the internet, chant His mantra:

Om ham hanumate rudratmakaya hum phat svaha: and perform puja to Him: and

thank Him for coming to Earth to show us Pure Devotion, and ask Him to help us

in anyway we need.

 

His mantra means: Om, we bow to The Highest principle, to Hanuman, the

manifestation of the Reliever of Sufferings, Cut the Ego! Purify! I am One

with God!

 

From the text: HANUMAN PUJA, from the Devi Mandir, p. 3., " Hanuman, the divine

monkey, ever devoted, ever servicefull, is so full of love and faith that

nothing remains difficult for him. If we cannot stop the movies of the monkey

mind, then at least we can tune to the vision of the divine monkey. His dance

is always graceful, his jumping an act of service, and his thoughts of devotion

are always so soothing. "

" Rather than disdaining to watch the movie, let us certainly try to witness that

divine epoch being replayed on the stage of consciousness. Let our movies be

all about the purity of devotion to the Lord, rather than the more common

history or this ego, with which so many of us spend so much time. "

" His name means: ha = Isvara, Supreme consciousness; nu means that which

pervades; man means manifested: Hanuman, the manifested existence of the

Supreme Consciousness which pervades all. "

 

Tomorrow I will quote the reason for performing puja to Him.

 

Jai Ma Jai Swami
