Hanuman, The Monkey God By Sattva Connect

The lower mind is a monkey mind, always restless, unsettled, jumping about the place, but when you begin to stand for something greater, the mind rises up and becomes like Hanuman, the greatest devotee - strong, devotional and with true staying power. To go beyond the lower mind, we need to let go of our addiction to suffering and learn to love, beyond liking and disliking. We need to realise, like Hanuman does, that the only thing ever happening is love.

  1. Hanuman, The Monkey God By Sattva Connect

  2. Hanuman, The Monkey God Hanuman, also known as Anjaneya, the son of Anjana, is the Monkey God. He is one of the central characters in the epic Ramayana. He is a devotee of Rama and he is known as the son of the wind god, Vayu, as Vayu played an important role in Hanuman’s birth, delivering sacred pudding to Anjana, which he consumed, leading to the birth of Hanuman.

  3. Hanuman’s Childhood One day in his childhood, Hanuman was hungry. He saw the rising sun, mistook it for a ripe fruit and leapt to eat it. He was struck down, but later restored to health. He, however, forgot his supernatural powers, until he was reminded of them through his devotional service in adulthood.

  4. Hanuman in the Ramayana In the Ramayana, Hanuman helps Rama to rescue his kidnapped wife, Sita. To thank Hanuman, Rama gave him a gift but Hanuman threw it away, saying that he did not need a gift to remember Rama, as he would always be in his heart. "Hanuman is an incarnation of Shiva. He represents physical power. He is the strongest of the strong. He is the highest symbol of vitality." When asked for proof of this, Hanuman tore open his chest, revealing the images of Sita and Rama inside his heart. He asked only for a place at Rama’s feet, to worship him.

  5. The Monkey Mind The lower mind is a monkey mind, always restless, unsettled, jumping about the place, but when you begin to stand for something greater, the mind rises up and becomes like Hanuman, the greatest devotee - strong, devotional and with true staying power. To go beyond the lower mind, we need to let go of our addiction to suffering and learn to love, beyond liking and disliking. We need to realise, like Hanuman does, that the only thing ever happening is love.

  6. The only thing ever happening is love. It's time to awaken the spirit of Hanuman within you, activating that healing, harmonious energy in the world. This Hanuman Jayanti (Hanuman’s birthday), rise up and commit to making your life stand for something. Be the one who lifts others up. Be the one who sees the way!
