( Vaishaakha Maasa Poorvabhaadra Nakshatram is the prescribed Hanumajjayanti as per ParaaSharasamhita....However, it is celebrated in various places by various sections of people on various days as per their local traditional customs. So I believe it's ok to have multiple Hanumanji's birthday celebrations for that it gives varied Prasaadams on multiple days in multiple temples... 😁)
ShreeGurucharanasarojarajanijamanumukurasudhaari
Varanouraghubarabimalajasujodaayakuphalachaari....
Buddhiheenatanujaanikaisumiraupavanakumaara...
Balabuddhividyaadeahimohiharahu kaleshvikaar.....
and so on goes the mighty ShreeHanumaanChaalisa sung by Shree sant Tulaseedaas ji when he was blessed with the darshan of Lord Hanumanji in that incident of Sultan / Courtyard / Army of apes / etc.....
The last line or the aforementioned introductary Shlokam is almost like PhalaShruthi.....
Balam, Buddhi, Vidya deahi
Harahu Klesh and Vikaar....
Bestowing Valor, Intellect, Knowledge
and eradicating all kinds of troubles and headaches....
is what Hanuman Chaaleesa does....
If one can remember Shree ChaaganTi sadguruvu gaaru stating the importance of HanumadAaraadhana in this Kaliyuga,
it is indeed an established fact that Shree Hanumaan and Shreemaata / AadiparaaShakti are the fastest responding names/forms in the spiritual saadhaka world which is quite important for this Kaliyugam filled with all kinds of invisible human traps all around....
( i.e., The traps that are created by humans for the sake of other humans for whatsoever reasons, which aren't that easy to recognize and stay alert without Hanumanji's grace...)
Though we are just around the mere 5022 odd years of the total 432000 years of Kaliyuga duration, the effects are visible exponentially growing every decade....
We are so busy engrossed in our own lives looking at the fast pace growth of the science and technology that we are a part of with which we have almost forgot to focus on everything else....
Just like an S1 / P1 issue sets aside all our tasks and makes us very busy with that particular ticket until its status is flipped to " Awaiting Closure by so and so...", our whole life has become an S1 / P1 ticket
which gives us almost no time to understand / recognize / appreciate / other great things in the world around us....
One of such greatest and the most magnanimous entities is ShreemadRaamaayanam and it's 5th segment "SundakarakaanDa" that heralds the greatness of Lord Hanuman and his unparalleled physical and intellectual prowess exhibited in the ordeal of finding the whereabouts of Seetamaata to hand over the "ShreeRaamaanguleeyakam" and the message from ShreeRaam.....
For those who remember sadguru Shree ChaaganTi gaari atyadbhuta pravachanam of "Sundarakaanda" which is an embodiment of a plethora of incidents expounding the Supreme knowledge and wisdom exhibited by Vaayuputra veerahanuman that one can imbibe in to their respective lives to become equally successfull in their various endeavors, here are those 3 key incidents during the utmost important task of Saagaralanghanam from the southern tip of India to ShreeLanka and the return...
1. Successfully taking up Naagamaata Surasa's test.
2. Killing the demon Simhika....
3.Getting the 'security guard' of the entire KaanchanaLanka, the Lankini in to his control....
( I don't prefer to use the word 'Lankaadhidevata' because there are certain traits only upon fullfiling which someone can be referred to as 'devata' or qualify for 'devataa upaadhi')
Only after overcoming these 3 situations successfully Hanumanji can gain that much required entry in to KaanchanaLanka after which he can carry out the search to find the whereabouts of goddess Seeta as per his matrix.
I specifically took these 3 incidents because sadguru Shree ChaaganTi gaaru has specifically emphasized the importance of the same...
" Naagamaata Surasanu gelavaDam...
Simhikanu samharinchaDam...
Lankini ni vashaparuchukoavaDam...
Idi meeru SundarakaanDalo baagaa gamaninchavalasina vishayam..
"
In order to reach our destinations / goals / aspirations successfully without getting affected by the hurdles thrown our way by this world or by the situations or by fate, it is quite important for anyone to know...
1. What all should be considered as
" Situations to overcome by intelligence with due respect to the people involved in the same...."
2. What all should be considered as
" Situations to overcome by destroying those that are fabricating unbearable hostility..."
3. What all should be considered as
" Situations to overcome by sensiblly handling the people involved in the same by using appropriate amount of force required to get the situation in to our control at the cost of winning the opponent by all means and not by destroying them....."
So let's discuss the same as appropriate to the current times....
1. What all should be considered as
" Situations to overcome by intelligence with due respect to the people involved in the same...."
Hanumanji, upon extolled by the elder Jaambavanta and other optimistic folks in the group, took his Vishwaroopam by using the " garima " siddhi from the Mahendragiri parvatam and rose to the skies by using a great amount of force by which the Mahendragiri mountain almost got crushed in to pieces.....
He took the ShreeRaama mantram as his driving force by which he had mentally already reached Lanka while he was physically still travelling by taking the path of " ChaaraNas" in the sky travel...
The sky travel is comprised of various routes at various altitudes used by different species for their travel needs based on the magnitudes of their TapoShakti earned by the merit of gaining a 'devataa upaadhi' that they are identified with...
It's almost like what we see near a toll gate where in the entire road is split in to various segmets for pedestrians, bikes, cars, lorries, etc.... who pay different fee to use the road ahead based on the vehicle they are using to travel....
It's the horizontal split on the earth where as it's the vertical split in the skies.....
While on his way to cross the Nooruyojana SagaaraLanghanam, the first obstacle on his way was Naagamaata Surasa..
With his TapoShakti Hanumanji understood that she is not there to harm him but only to test him and his determination to succeed in the devakaaryam....
So she threw a challenge at him stating that he can make his way forward only by winning her ask that is to enter her mouth to become her prey.....
Then Hanumanji said...
" O Naagamaata Surasa.... I concede to your ask... Please open your mouth vast enough so that I can fit inside it completely to become your food...."
As soon as she opened her mouth wide enough to swallow even mountains,
Hanumanji used his " aNima " siddhi to take a miniature form in a split second duration and quickly entered her mouth completely and came out successfully....
Being surprised at his intellect, Naagamaata Surasa blessed him to be successful in all his endeavours ahead and gave him his way forward to Lanka....
As per Shree ChaaganTi sadguruji, gods wanted him to use all his powers as apt for the task at hand so they have made him to go through this hurdle that makes him aware of the same all along his stay in Lanka which is full of various kinds of demons who could spoil his very purpose of visiting the Lanka if he were to get caught by them before being successful in communicating the requisite information from lord ShreeRaam and handing over the "Ring" which is the only entity that can make goddess Seeta believe in him as lord Shree Raam's genuine messenger...
As we can see, accordingly Lord Hanuman used his AshtaSiddhi
aNima, mahima, garima, laghima, praapti, praakamyam, eeshitwam, vashitwam,
very carefully and sensibly where ever he felt the need for the same...
Starting with aNima to compact him in to a size of as much as a small kitten to walk through the courtyards of the Lankan mansions to find the whereabouts of goddess Seeta....
Similarly one needs to learn this pearl of wisdom from SundarakaanDa, which is essentially an UpaasanaKaanda, to make their 'involvement' as much compact as required by the situation so as to win it to make the way forward.....
by properly understanding the person on the other side and most importantly their intent so that we can be conscious enough to fine tune our executions accordingly....
2. What all should be considered as
" Situations to overcome by destroying those that are fabricating hostility..."
The next hurdle on Humanji's way was the demon Simhika... It indeed was a great hurdle for that the demon Simhika used an extremely intelligent tactic that is to drastically absorb the energy of the living beings passing through its vicinity with its cosmic powers and then pull them towards it via their shadow casted on the sea to gulp them in as it's prey.....
As a result even before the target can realize that something is happening around them, they would already be in a hapless state to become it's prey....
Hanumanji was cruising at his determined speed and he felt a sudden downward drag and also a decrease in his velocity...
He tried to sustain them assuming it to be some sea turbulence however the same got repeated....
So he got his attention diverted to the sea from where the turbulence is being felt from. He used his cosmic vision and understood the modus operandi of the demon Simhika.... So he has decided to put an end to her and smashed her accordingly once forever.....
Similarly, we do find a few situations and people in our respective lives that are / who are so wicked in draining out our energy for no good reason to sataite their demonic appetite... So we need to zero in on the root cause of the problem and nullify it from the grass root level...
3. What all should be considered as
" Situations to overcome by sensiblly handling the people involved in the same by using appropriate amount of force required to get the situation in to our control at the cost of winning the opponent by all means and not by destroying them....."
The final hurdle on Hanumanji's way for his entry in to KaanchanaLanka is the Lankini employed by Raavana, ( albeit forcibly ) without whose permission no one can make an entry in to / exit from Lanka...
When Hanumanji was obstructed by her he used his cosmic vision to understand that she was essentially a cursed demigod forcibly kept as the guardian of the Lanka... So she can neither be won with decent arguments / tests nor can be killed...
So the only way is to hit her strong enough to make her realize that he can't be stopped so that she stumbles and humbles herself and gives him the way....
Upon doing the same, she realizes that Hanumanji is that destined time spirit that has come her way to relieve her from the bondage of Raavana and she explains the same by offering an apology. Once she regains her demigod form with Hanumanji's powerful blows putting an end to the superimposed demonic form by Raavana, she blessed Hanumanji to be successful in all his endeavours ahead and happily flew away to her cosmic plane....
Similarly, there would be certain situations / people in our respective lives that are / who are forced by others to be hostile towards us...
So we need to identify them properly and use the right amount of appropriate retaliatory measures to make them realize that we are unstoppable so that they can back off by understanding the same....
If one can observe properly, these 3 approaches pretty much sum up the simplest form of dealing a situation or a problem or the person behind it...
Win it / them...
(i.e., solve it, fix it, correct it, etc...)
Get rid of it / them...
Control it / them...
which would clear our way ahead.....
And thus Hanuman ji is celebrated for not only being immortal and thus God...
but also for preaching and blessing the mankind an array of unfathomable executions that would always be very intriguing acts embedded with great amount of knowledge and wisdom for us to tap in to as per our respect and devotion towards the aadikaavyam ShreemadRaamaayanam....
