See It In Your Home
Lord Hanuman, the devotee of Lord Rama is a deity like no other. His selfless service and
innocent devotion to Shri Ram have made him one of the most respected and revered devotees
in Hinduism. For a mind that only works through logic and calculation, it is hard to understand or
conceive the heart of Lord Hanuman. He has gone above and beyond that aspect of the mind.
Surrendering at the feet of his lord, he has become one with the divine. Now, the ultimate truth
is his only identity, leaving all other identities behind. That is why, the people of this land have
always held Lord Hanuman as the highest of all devotees, as an epitome of devotion. His
devotion is taken as the prime example for anyone who is walking the path of truth. Burning
everything belonging to the false, his devotion has just left the pure truth, glittering in his heart.
For Lord Hanuman, everything that he does is just due to the grace of Shri Ram. Hence, he
takes absolutely no pride in his deeds and is full of humility and humbleness. This humbleness
of the lord touches something deep within. The artist behind this brass statue has beautifully
captured this aspect of Lord Hanuman, almost bringing out the essence of his heart. Standing
with his hands folded and eyes down in reverence, the lord compels one to look for the
existence of the divine. His muscular body, ethnic clothes, and exquisite crown is adding to
his simplistic beauty. Forming a beautiful curvature behind his head, the tail too has become
quite significant in this statue. Between his hands, the lord holds his iconic mace, protecting his
devotees from the evil of greed and fear.
The artist behind this statue has done a commendable job by capturing the very essence of the
lord in this statue. That is what makes this statue different and unique, complete in its own
beauty.
The Mighty Hanuman: Exploring the Legends and Significance of
the Monkey God
Hanuman is mentioned in several Vedic works of literature such
as the Ramayana, Mahabharata, and Srimad Bhagavatam. He is the
dearest devotee of Lord Ramachandra, the Supreme Personality of
Godhead. He is always engaged in the service of the Lord and the
Lord always looks out for Hanuman every moment. Hanuman is often
depicted tearing apart his chest and an image of Ram and Sita is
seen which means that He is always absorbed in the
transcendental thoughts of Shri Shri Sita Ram. In the Vaishnava
traditions or Sampradayas, Hanuman plays a huge role in the
spiritual life of a Sadhaka. Without getting the mercy of
Hanuman, no one can get closer to Lord Ram. He is the very
personification of devotion and dedication.
He has a monkeylike form and is bestowed with extraordinary
powers and capabilities. But He does not use his powers to show
to others, rather, he uses them in the service of Sita and Ram.
The devotees of Ram always follow in the footsteps of Sri
Hanuman to become sincere servants of the Lord.
Can we keep Hanuman idol at home?
Keeping the deity of Lord Hanuman at your home altar would be
very auspicious for everyone in your family. Sri Hanuman is very
merciful and compassionate toward all living entities. He
bestows his blessings especially on those who engage in the
worship of Lord Ram and Mother Sita. Therefore, if you have the
deities of Sita and Ram on your altar, installing the deity of
Sri Hanuman will be the best decision. However, if you do not
have Lord Ram and Mother Sita deities, you can keep the single
deity of Hanuman as well. If you want to please him, you may
chant the names of Lord Ram and sing His glories in front of his
deity. Your life will completely change and you will experience
transcendental bliss which is not found in performing any kind
of material activities.
