* Balaji Hanuman Temple, Mehendipur *
Rajasthan’s Dausa district, which is nestled between two mountains is a place called Mehndipur. It has a very large rock in the shape of Hanuman that had recovered itself. It is believed to be Sri Hanuman. There is a small water pond in the idol’s feet whose water never gets over.
Hanuman exists to destroy the obstacles to our realizing the same oneness he experiences with Ram. Even when difficulties happen in our lives, he never abandons us, but rather gives us the strength to live through them without our hearts being destroyed. Whatever comes to us comes as a result of our karmas. These waves of karma come from the past. How we deal with then in the present will have a great effect on what is to happen int he future and how will will be able to deal with what comes at that time. It is our own knee-jerk reactions - our tendencies to react out of fear anger or selfishness to the events of our lives - that keep us spinning around.
