Today is the birth anniversary of greatest devotee of Bhagwan Rama, Lord Hanuman. Hanuman Ji although is a devotee of Bhagwan Rama but his identification with Sri Rama is so complete, that he is worshipped as God along with Rama.
Vedantins know the world to be more mental than physical. It can also be seen in the practical world that whatever you think or cogitate on, you become that. If one harbours positive thoughts, one will have a positive outlook in life and vice versa if one has negative thoughts.
Birth anniversary of the Bhakt Shiromani (Chief among devotees) Hanuman Ji gives an opportunity to reflect on his qualities today. Let's reflect on some of his qualities, please add more in comments if you wish
Hanuman ji has incredible onepointedness and dispassion when he is working. When he was given the task of finding the whereabouts of mother Sita, he did not take rest nor was attracted to temptations on the way. He even refused the hospitality of mount Mandar and exclaimed
राम काज करे बिना मोहे कहाँ विश्राम ।
"I can take rest until I have completed the task of Rama".
"I can take rest until I have completed the task of Rama".
Hanuman ji totally effaced his ego and his life was dedicated for the service of Rama. In the service of Lord Rama, Lord Hanuman discovered his absolute identity. His life is epitome of complete selflessness.
Lord Hanuman had forgotten about his own strength and was reminded of his own strength by Jamwant. But when he remembered it, Hanuman ji was unstoppable. He even lifted the mountain and saved the life of Lakshman and crossed the ocean with a jump. We also need to remember our potential and divinity like Hanuman ji.
If we can have workers like lord Hanuman who can work with the tenacity , one pointedness and selflessness of Hanuman, dream of #VishwaGuru Bharat is not far.
Today we at Frankfurt celebrated Hanuman jayanti with satsang of Lord Rama. Enjoy the bhajan Sri Ram jai Raam , Jai Jai Raam
