[Smt. Sudha asked: Padanamaskaram Swamy. Thank You for giving me the four-fold fortune Swamy. Thanks for being with me always Swamy. Devotees are often advised to worship Shri Anjaneya and Shri Subrahmanya to get rid of their worldly hurdles. Lord Hanuman as the best servant of Human incarnation Shri Rama, is a role model for the human race. Kindly reveal to me, who is Lord Subrahmanya? How to understand His Holy characteristics? What is the way to please Him?]
Swami replied: Lord Subrahmanya is the divine power of God Shiva. Hanuman is also the incarnation of God Shiva. God Shiva is the destroyer of the entire creation when that time comes. Hence, any force in this world is afraid of God Shiva. Hanuman controls the planet Shani since Shani was liberated by Hanuman while He was burning the Lanka city. Subrahmanya is the internal form of planet Kuja and also the controller of the two shadow planets called Rahu and Ketu due to the commonality of the external nature of serpent. The serpent also represents the mind, which is the main responsible faculty of worldly sufferings. Shani is Jñānakāraka helping to receive the correct spiritual knowledge. Ketu is Mokṣakāraka, who gives liberation from the worldly bonds that are responsible for every mental suffering. The actual power of Shani is Hanuman and the actual power of Ketu is Subrahmanya.
