Hanuman Chalisa

 HANUMAN CHALISA


JAI SHRI RAM

Welcome viewer, to my blog on Lord Hanuman.

If there is one way to please Hanuman, it would be to chant the name of his beloved Ram. Hence let us begin this blog with this lovely song. This song- “Raghupathi Raghava Raja Ram”, also called Ram Dhun, is a popular bhajan whose lyrics were taken from Sri Nama Ramayanam written by Sri Lakshmanacharya.

Hanuman, Anjaneya or Sankat Mochan is perhaps one of the most revered and adored deities in the Hindu scriptures. The Lord is an embodiment of Shiva and exemplifies strength, devotion, compassion and perseverance. The tales of Hanuman have taught us numerous lessons; his selfless service for Rama teaches us the meaning of true friendship. His unwavering faith in the almighty reiterates the true definition of faith and worship. Always eager to help those in need, he always stood for the truth and dharma. 

Anjana, a beautiful Apsara in celestial palace court of Lord Brahma was cursed by a sage that, the moment she fell in love her face would transform to that of a monkey. Lord Brahma thought of helping her and she took birth on Earth. Later, Anjana fell in love with Kesari, the monkey king and they both married each other. Being an ardent devotee of Lord Shiva, she continued with her tapasya to please the God. Lord Shiva was impressed and she wished him to be her son so that she would be freed from the curse of the sage. 

Few days later, King Dasarath was performing a yagna after which the sage gave him a kheer (payasam) to feed all his wives. A portion of this kheer from Kaushlya, his eldest wife, was snatched by a kite which flew all the way where Anjana was meditating. Lord Vayu (aka Pawan – Wind), on the signal of Lord Shiva, left the kheer in Anjana’s hand. Taking it as Lord Shiva’s prasad, Anjana ate it and gave birth to His incarnation, known as “Pawan Putra Hanuman”, the son of the Lord of the Wind. 

The word Hanuman is derived from two Sanksrit words ‘Hanu’ and ‘Man’. While the word ‘Hanu’ means jaw, ‘Man’ means disfigured. According to legend, Hanuman tried to swallow the sun, as a child, thinking it to be a huge fruit. To dissuade him from his pursuit, Lord Indra had to use his vajra on Anjaneya, who was thrown onto earth thus disfiguring his jaw forever. Later, all the gods realised who Hanuman was and gifted him individually. Lord Sun agreed to teach him the Vedas.


Lord Hanuman had earned the reputation of being notorious during his childhood. He used to pester meditating hermits, who had taken refuge in the kingdom of his father, King Kesari. During one such incident, an annoyed sage had hexed Hanuman. Due to the spell Hanuman was unable to remember the powers vested in him by the deities, unless someone reminded him of it. When Sita was kidnapped by Ravana, Jambavan, the great bear king, had to remind Hanuman of his powers, so that he could cross the ocean, reach Lanka and pursue the search for Sita. Once Hanuman realised his true potential, he set out to cross the ocean single-handed, overcame all the obstacles and later played a key role in the war with Ravana. At many crucial points during the war Hanuman helped Rama and His army to win over Ravana.


Hanuman was a minister in the army of king Sugriva, who was another ruler of the monkey clan. The story of how Hanuman came to assist Sugriva began when Hanuman was learning scriptures from Lord Surya. With his never ending inquisitiveness and dedication, it took him only sixty hours to become proficient in all the scriptures. Lord Surya was highly impressed with his disciple’s feat and waived off the guru dakshina. Hanuman though was insistent on paying the guru dakshina and when the Sun asked him to become a companion of Sugriva, he readily agreed.

During Ram’s quest to free Sita from the clutches of Ravana, it was Hanuman who flew across the sea to reach the demons king’s palace and discovered the whereabouts of Sita. When Ravan became aware of Hanuman’s presence in his palace, he ordered his soldiers to capture and kill the petty monkey. In order to crush Ravan’s ego, Hanuman set about destroying Lanka with his tail that was set ablaze by Ravan’s soldiers. In this commotion he found Lord Shani imprisoned in the palace’s basement, who was cursed by Brahma to remain in captivity till an incarnation of Shiva frees him. Hanuman released him from the confinement. Delighted, Lord Shani helped Hanuman in his pursuit to destroy Lanka and even granted him a boon that Hanuman’s devotees would not be troubled by Shani. 

The demon king Ravan had sent his brother Ahiravan to capture Ram and Lakshman. Acting on his brother’s advice, Ahiravan held Ram and Lakshman in captivity, in the Nether world. Hanuman was determined to save his Lord but in order to kill Ahiravan one needed to extinguish five lamps in five different directions. Thus Hanuman adopted the pancha mukha form to achieve this and defeated Ahiravan. The four other faces are believed to be of Garuda, Narsimha, Varaha and Hayagriva, which face the north, south, east, west and the sky.


Lord Hanuman was greatly devoted to Lord Rama. A particular incident was when Sita put sindhoor on her forehead, Hanuman asked her why. To this, she replied that since she is the wife and companion of Lord Rama, the sindhoor was a sign of her unconditional love and respect. Hanuman then covered his entire body with sindhoor to prove his love for Lord Rama. Lord Rama was really impressed by this and granted a boon that those who worshiped Lord Hanuman with sindhoor would see all their difficulties go away. There are many temples devoted to depicting Hanuman in Sindhoor Lal. The Bhadra Maruti temple, near Aurangabad for example:


Once during Sita’s exile in later periods, Hanuman went to meet her in priest Valmiki’s cottage. Sita was overwhelmed with happiness to see him and cooked many delicacies for Hanuman. Sita continued to serve food to Hanuman and was at the verge of exhausting all the food supplies but was unable to satiate his hunger. In despair, she prayed to Lord Ram who advised her to add a Tulsi leaf in the food being served to Hanuman. Since Tulsi is offered to the Lord Ram and Hanuman was a die-hard follower of Ram, Sita was finally able to gratify the hungry Hanuman.


NAMAKKAL ANJANEYAR DECORATED WITH TULSI

When Ram decided to leave for the heavenly abode, many including his wife Sita and Lakshman followed him. But his most ardent devotee vowed that he would stay on this earth for as long as the name of Rama is chanted by its inhabitants. Hanuman is one among the Chiranjivis or immortals, according to the Hindu traditions, who resides in this world to this day, protecting us from the evils.

When finally peace prevailed in the kingdom and Rama ascended the throne, Hanuman travelled to the Himalayas where he continued to worship the deity. A master of all scriptures, Hanuman carved into the rocks of Himalayas the deeds of Lord Rama. When Valmiki encountered Hanuman, he realised that Hanuman’s version of Ramayana was far more superior to his own. Realising Valmiki’s predicament Hanuman renounced his version of the Ramayana leaving Valmiki in awe. The astonished Valmiki said it would be his pleasure to be born again to sing praises of the Monkey God and accordingly he was born as Saint Tulsidas.


During the 16th CE, Tulsidas retold the Ramayana in the vernacular Awadhi language of Uttar Pradesh (rather than the academic Sanskrit) and also composed several hymns to the gods. One such hymn, the Hanuman Chalisa, continues to be recited today by millions. This canticle of 40 verses celebrates all of the qualities that Hanuman came to signify over the centuries: strength, devotion, celibacy, and righteousness. Hanuman became a god.  


We are now getting into the thick of Hanuman Chalisa.

Meaning:
O Son of Vāyu, remover of adversities, one with an auspicious form, and the chief among all Devas, may you reside in our hearts along with Rama, Lakshman and Sita. 


Lord Hanuman symbolically stands for pure devotion, complete surrender without any trace of ego. As a monkey god, he represents the lower self of man which thinks and behaves that he is just that body with limitations. But when he is reminded of who he is and what his strengths are, he gets connected to the higher and then serves and works for the higher after which he merges with that higher. All of us have that inner core strength and potential, which when revealed to us, can lead us to success both in the material as well as the spiritual world.

Chanting Hanuman Chalisa is all about invoking the dormant Hanuman within us. We also can realise our strengths and achieve great things in life, if we awake the Hanuman within.
