GLORY OF HANUMANJI

 
Hanuman is considered as siranjaeevi (to live eternally). He is the 
monkey God, strong, full of valour, with various skills and powers. 
At the same time, he is wise, a great gnani, yogi and a brahmachari. 
He had only one thought that of serving his Lord Rama with utmost 
humility and devotion. He is known as Siriya Thiruvadi. He is 
considered to be an amsam of Lord Siva. He is known by various names -
Hanuman - (His jaw & cheek had gone in when struck by the Vajrayudha 
of Indra), Anumandhayya - (in Karnataka), Aanjaneyalu - (in Andhra 
Pradesh), Aanjaneyan - (son of Anjana), Maruthi - (son of Vaayu - in 
Maharashtra), Anumandhan, Vaayunandhan, Kesarinandhanan (son of 
Kesari), Aadhitasishyan and Siriya Thiruvadi (vahanam for Rama).
He is worshipped in the temples as Bhaktha Hanuman & Veera Hanuman. 
He is seen seated humbly in front of Rama vigrahmas in the Rama 
sannadhis. There are also separate temples for Hanuman. As Bhaktha 
Hanuman he is seen holding both hands together in prayer. He is seen 
as Veera Hanuman, holding the mace in one hand & the sanjeevi 
parvatham in the other. Devotees are blessed with courage, valour, 
wisdom, gnanam when they pray to him. He is very happy when he hears 
the Rama namam. Hence, repeating the Rama namam is one of the best 
ways to get his blessings. 
Worship & offerings
Anjaneyar is worshipped with offerings of butter & Vadaimalai (a 
garland of vadais). Butter is applied to the mouth & tail of the 
Hanuman vigrahams in temples. Devotees pray to the Lord & apply dots 
of kumkumam to his tail (from the starting point to the tip) in the 
images kept at home.

The Birth of Hanuman

In heaven there was a very famous apsara (courtesan, dancing girl) 
named Punjikasthala. On a certain occasion she insulted one of the 
rishis. As a result she got a curse that she would be born as a 
female monkey. After her birth she was named Anjana. Her husband's 
name was Kesari. Because Anjana had no son, she began to do penance. 
She gave up eating and drinking. She prayed to god Vayu not only to 
get her a son, but that he should be powerful and swift, just like 
god Vayu himself.
Vayu answered: "Tathastu", "Amen", "Let it be as you desire."
In the morning of the first 14th day of Chaitra in a cave on the 
Rushyamuk mountain, Anjana gave birth to her son Hanuman. Soon after 
his birth Hanuman came out of the cave and, as the sun was rising, he 
flew towards the sun to eat its reddish rays.
As he flew towards the sun, Rahu stood in his way. But with a stroke 
of his tail he pushed Rahu aside. Then came Ketu, but he also was 
removed, and Hanuman flew ahead towards the sun. Then heaven became 
worried. Indra mounted his elephant "Airavat", and wondered in his 
mind, "Who is this extraordinary child going out to eat the sun?" 
Indra became angry and flung his weapon "vajra" (thunderbolt) on 
Hanuman, who was caught unawares. He was hit on his left knee, and 
fell on the top of a high mountain.


Shri Hanuman Chalisa

If any desire is also is there by reading it will be fulfilled. If u 
want ram bahakti u can read this with which we can get ram bhakti .   
There is treasure hidden in this hanuman chalisa. If we want to read 
his glories we should know who is hanuman etc. while giving 
introduction of humanu we should know his rupa (Vanar - Pasu jathi)  
Swaroopa = Brahma swaroopa, where lila of lord rama was there his 
relation with him was sevak. While lord ram is brahma swroop. But 
was born as son to kausaliya and dasrath. Karma of hanuman = only one 
karma it was ram seva. Adarsh = Ram bhakti that too dasya bhakti. 
This is special qualities. The tail is not ordinary one it is 
brahma pucha. , What is guna = Nirahamkar that is the glory of shri 
hanumanji. In many case u can see many qualities but they do have 
ahamkar, but hanumanji is nirahamkar.    

Upasana means bringing the qualities of the lord whom we adore.  
Upasana means to stay near . So when we want to do upasana of 
hanuman we should get the qualities of hanuman at least some .

Doha
Shri Guru Charan Saroj Raja, Nij Mana Mukura Sudhar,
Varano Raghuvar Vimal Jasu, Jo Dayak Phal Chaar.

With the help of sat Guru charan dhuli , we can cleanse our Mirror 
mind and the we can sing the vimal jas of Raguvar (Lord hanuman) 
here Tulsi das mentions hanuman as Raguvar. This Doha comes in Ram 
Charit Manas in Ayodhya Kanda where it is has two parts one is oorvag 
& uttarag. Where the hero for oorvag is Lord Rama and for Uttarag is 
Devotee Bharth so they are called Raguvar. Those who r born in 
Raghuvamash. Here Hanuman's glory are being sung they how this 
Raghuvamsh. Here tulsidas show the relationship of hanuman in the 
family of Lord Ramchandraji. We can also see sometimes in our house 
we do have servants with whom we treat them as our own people and 
also brothers of same family do fight here it is to mention that Lord 
rama and sita have accepted hanuman as his son . In sundarkan mother 
sita says this words.  

Hai suta kapi saba tumhahi samana, jatudhana ati bhata balavana

Mother sita gets a doubt about hanuman saying that all the monkeys 
are of this same size where hanuman went in small size just like 
mosquito, then he shows is virat roop.  

By singing the glories of ministers or big people we can get only job 
or some small petty things. But when we sing the glory of hanuman we 
can get all the four fruits ie., Darma, artha , kama, moksha. We 
cannot come out of delusion which is head of the family (Moha mool) 
out of which everything comes unless until we wash the feets of 
Satguru and divine people.

Budhi Heen Tanu Janike, Sumiro Pawan Kumar,

atma vidya. So only with budhi we can acquire this vidhya.
