Guest guest Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 "...Those who are familiar with Hinduism and the epic Ramayana know Hanuman very well. He is considered to be the greatest devotee ever born on earth. He is blessed by Sitha, wife of Lord Rama, to remain active on the earth plane till the end of the time cycle. His surrender to the divine cause and his devotion to Lord Rama was unique, exemplary and unconditional. Even today the devotees say that wherever the name of Lord Rama is chanted or referred, this sacred being would be there listening to His name and absorbed in Him. Lord Hanuman symbolically stands for pure devotion, complete surrender and absence of ego or the lower self. As the son of Vayu, symbolically he also stands for the subtle body consisting of the breath body, the mental body and the intelligence body. Here we explain Hanuman as the mental body in a human being. The mind is fickle (like a monkey) and jumps from place to place, going after things, engaging itself in innumerable activities that disturb the peace of the place. The mind, like Hanuman can also travel where it wants to. It can fly in the air, cross the continents and the worlds in an instant with the speed of thought and reach any one and anything it wants to mentally. It can also expand or contracts itself at will (again like Hanuman). So long as it remains under the control of pure animal passions and the activities of the sense, it remains unstable and mischievous, causing a lot of the disturbance in the world of the individual. But once it surrenders to the inner self and becomes devoted to it completely and unconditionally, it assumes miraculous powers and performs stupendous feats like Hanuman, working for the divine cause helping the lower self (Sita) and the Soul (Rama) to come together and become united. By killing all the evil thoughts with its determination, it also lays a firm foundation for the kingdom of God (Ramarajya) to become established in the body. Hanuman is thus symbolically the mind principle ever absorbed in the contemplation of God and totally surrendered to Him. But this is not the only interpretation available for Hanuman. As "Hanuman", he is the one without any doubt (anuman) as to the existence of Rama (God). As anjaniputra, he is the one who comes accidentally into this world, but by his efforts ascends to the greater heights of spiritual evolution. As Vayuputra he is the breath body in us and can help the lower self (Sita) that is lost to ignorance to reunite with its true companion, the inner soul (Rama). As Veeranjaneya, he is the source of courage and confidence for many a timid heart. As Bhajarangbali, he is strong in both devotion and physical strength. He is an ocean of virtues and friend of the pure hearted. He loves the ascetic qualities in man because only those who are detached and mentally free from the luxuries of life and desires of their bodies can truly concentrate on the divine and attain Him. Hanuman is regarded as the Superman, the perfect man, the knowledge body (gnana guna sagara) in man, the immortal man (chiranjeevi) and also the animal man (va+nara). He is a perfect example of true devotion and complete surrender. He also symbolizes the story of animal man in us who through the path of devotion and service to God, can purify himself and attain immortality. Truly in the entire Hindu pantheon there in none like Shri Hanuman, for he was an evolved God, born strangely as a manifestation of Lord Shiva, but became a great devotee of Shri Mahavishnu through Lord Rama...."

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 Dear Sadvi, Thank you for this very detailed description of Sri Hanuman. Now I want to get the Hanuman Puja text from the Devi Mandir. Swamiji translates Rama as Consciousness in the Sundar Kanda. I remember him talking about how Consciousness lost his Divine Nature (Sita) to the Ego. With the help of Pure Devotion (Hanuman), Brother Determination (Lakshman), Excellent Friend (Sugriva), Discrimination (Bibhisana) and a whole host of monkeys and bears, they locate the Queen of the Land of Eternal Peace (Ayodhya) and She (Sita) is reunited with Her Beloved Lord Rama (Consciousness). Swamiji's translation is so deep and beautiful. Equally incredible is being able to chant the Sundar Kanda with the Samputs with Swamiji, Shree Maa and the Family. A high point in my life. I would love for them to record it. Another blissful memory is sitting on the floor with Swamiji and the children singing "Who in the world doesn't know that Monkey?" A wonderful song about Hanuman and about the mind. Maybe Parvati can supply the complete lyrics for the song. Oh dear, I am getting teary remembering these blessed times at the Devi Mandir.
