Sri Ramavatar-Part VI (Continued)
Though
Hanuman
was
an
unknown
minister
in
Sugriva's
cabinet
in
exile,
His
glory
is
spelt
out
in
the
Dhyana
Sloka:
"If
one
worships
Hanuman,
one
would
be
blessed
with
intelligence,
strength,
fame,
courage,
absence
of
fear,
good
health,
alertness
and
eloquence"
These came to the surface only after His meeting with Sri Rama, whom he recognized as His Master - what a powerful motivation by the avatara. However, the humble Anjaneya stresses several times that his greatness and achievements are solely due to the glory of His Prabhu (Lord), Sri Rama and Sita Devi.
In
'Sundara
Kanda',
Anjaneya's
description
of
the
"Tapaswini
Sita
Devi'
as
a
great
"Pativrata'
and
the
word-painting
of
Sri
Rama's
physical
charms
(physognomy),
emotional
excellence,
intellectual
achievements
and
spiritual
perfection
in
the
35th
sarga
of
the'Kanda'
to
convince
Devi,
are
unparalleled.
These
would
serve
as
excellent
ideals
for
men
and
women
for
all
time
to
come!
Further,
in
the
same
'Kanda'
Hanumanji
narrates
Ramayana
to
several
characters
in
different
ways,
using
His
discretion,
and
demonstrates
His
skill
in
oratory.
With
all
the
achievements,
being
a
true
Ram
Bhaktha,
He
is
most
happy
to
hear
the
glory
of
his
Prabhu
as
confirmed
in
the
Dhyana
Sloka
:
"Whenever Srimad Ramayana is being recited there the great Maruti, who is the destroyer of Rakshasas, sits listening humbly with His folded hands on His forehead and with eyes overflowing with tears". Sri Rama felt eternally indebted to Hanumanji. This great 'Rama Bhaktah' receives the spontaneous divine embrace from Sri Rama as a token of gratitude for all His achievements
The qualities of head and heart of Sri Rama and Sita Devi have an eternal content and hence they have a relevant application to the present day family, community, national and international materialistic life of confusions and tensions. A consistent and devoted study of Srimad Ramayana will not only yield fruitful and lasting solutions to our day to day problems but also to the modem problems of management, administration and human relations. This is because the epic is a charter of duties for the rulers and the ruled, husband and, wife, parents and children, brothers, friends and attendants. Thus, the universal appeal of Ramayana and the comfort and solace that it provides even today, is the main purpose of this glorious avatar. That the message of the Epic is eternal is confirmed in the blessings of Lord Brahma to the author, Sage Valmiki, while initiating him:
"As long as the hills stand and the rivers flow on the surface of the earth, so long shall the story of Ramayana be current in the world".
