Grand Celebration of Sri Hanuman Jayanti Mahotsavam at Shri Durgã Devasthanãm 🙏
There is one character in the Ramayana whose actions are beyond reproach – Sri Hanuman, one of the greatest devotees of the Lord. We do not find a single incident wherein Lord Hanuman has committed any mistake or incurred blame and censure. He is the very embodiment of devotion, wisdom and service. This noble son of Vayu Devata has innumerable virtues.
The first thing that attracts us is Sri Hanuman’s immeasurable and incomparable physical strength coupled with great splendour (tejas). This brilliance is like a golden mountain. He possesses the rare quality of using his strength, not to scare ordinary or weak people, but to destroy those who afflict saintly persons. In addition to his physical prowess, Sri Hanuman is an embodiment of knowledge, foremost among the wise (jnani) and a repository of good and noble qualities. His thoughts and words are always pure. And above all, he is the beloved devotee of Lord Rama
The most admirable virtue of Sri Hanuman is his humility. Just as the wind remains with us twenty-four hours of the day, serving all beings without any desire for recognition and appreciation, Sri Hanuman served all without a trace of pride in his heart. He imbibed this great and noble virtue from his father, Vayu Devata.
Lord Rama, Himself, overwhelmed by Sri Hanuman’s service was filled with extreme love and gratitude for him. When the Lord expressed His feelings and praised him, Sri Hanuman, like a true devotee, fell at the feet of the Lord and with tears in his eyes disclaimed any recognition for his valorous feats giving all the credit to the Lord alone – so saba tava pratapa raghurai,natha na kachu mori prabhutai, . He declared that nothing was unattainable or impossible for a person on whom the Lord showered His Grace:
In the Ramayana we see that Sri Hanuman always has the name of the Lord on his lips and His image enshrined in his heart. It is this single-pointed devotion to the Lord that enabled him to overcome insurmountable obstacles and perform unimaginable feats, such as carrying an entire mountain and singlehandedly entering and burning down a well-fortified Lanka.What a noble an inspiring ideal of service coupled with utmost humility! It is no wonder that Sri Hanuman is considered the favourite devotee of Lord Rama.
