Lord Hanuman is the symbol of utter and selfless devotion to his Master and god – Sri Rama, the seventh incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Hanuman’s entire strength came through the repetition of the name of Rama, the greatest mantra for this age of Kali, which if chanted with devotion is said to give liberation from the coils of mortal life. Every photo of Rama has Hanuman seated at his feet bowing to him. Wherever the Ramayana is recited a seat is left vacant for Hanuman since it is believed that he is always present at the reading of the story of his beloved master.
Vaishnavites believe that the wind god underwent three incarnations to help Lord Vishnu. As Hanuman he helped Lord Rama, as Bhima he assisted Krishna and as Madvacharya (1197-76) he founded the Advaitic sect known as “Dwaita”.
According to legend Hanuman is the son of the Wind God, Vayu. Air sustains all living beings. One can exist without food, spend days without water but it is impossible to exist even for a short time without air. Therefore Hanuman is also known as “Pranadeva” or the god of breath.
In Hindu symbolism a monkey signifies the human mind which is ever restless. We cannot control the world around us but we can control our mind by strict discipline. Hanuman is symbolic of the perfect mind which has achieved its highest potential. His name gives a clue to this. “Han” means to annihilate and “man” means mind, thus indicating one who has controlled his mind. He is the true picture of the Sthitha Prajna (liberated man) of the Bhagavad Gita.
