Lord Hanuman
is epitome of “Bhakti”. There is no
difference between him and Lord Ram who is nothing but para-Brahma (Absolute Truth). To teach “Bhakti” to all of us Para-Brahma has incarnated as Lord Hanuman. He
is so powerful yet humble. Vayu Purana talks about his power: Power of 10000 Elephants is there in
Eiravata – The Royal Elephant of Lord
Indra. Power of 10000 Eiravata is there in Lord Indra. AND power of 10000 Indra
is there in one Vellus hair of Lord Hanuman.
According to
Valmiki Ramayana’s (Uttar Ramayana) Brahmrishi Agastya while talking to Lord
Rama, he explains the power of Lord Hanuman. O Ram! please listen how much your
devotee Hanuman is powerful. Lord Indra use to collect flowers every morning in
Lanka for Demon King Ravana and he was making garland for him. He used to get
abused by Ravana daily. This tells Ravana was very powerful, Mightier than Lord
Indra. During the battle in Lanka, Hanuman has hit Ravana with left hand and
due to which all of his ten heads were bleeding. Hanuman was very angry. He
told Ravana, it’s your luck that I did n ’t hit you with my right hand
otherwise you would have killed. I don’t want to take this opportunity from my
Lord Ram. Hence you are spared. He was among the few in Ram’s army who was
capable of killing Demon King Ravana. This tells us how once could be grounded (humble)
despite of all might he has. It is only possible when you know TRUTH and
completely surrender to it. So this was the power of Lord Hanuman. He is Very
powerful in this Universe. All positive powers resides in him. He is pinnacle
of positivity.
He has shown
his power of wisdom when he went out to search for Maa Sita. Especially when he
was crossing the ocean and faced obstacles from Mainak Parvat, Sursa – she was
demon with extraordinary power he was able to defeat Demon Sursa. The way he managed Mainak Parvat, Simhika
Demon - who use to catch anyone by catching shadow and Lankini – one of the
fierce and mightiest demon who was protecting the boundary of Lanka (i.e Atlantis Lanka), it tells the story
of his might and extra ordinary wisdom.
He has shown
path to us how to be one pointed towards goal / Supreme as well as at the same
time how to be humble always, No Matter how much intelligence and might we
have.
||Jai Shri Ram|| ||Jai Hanuman||
