[Smt. Sudha Rani asked: Padanamaskaram Swami. Thank You Swami for Your unconditional Kindness. Swami You always suggest devotees to chant Hanuman Chalisa which is composed by Saint Tulsidas. Please enlighten us the reason behind that hymn of epic uplifts the soul and please enlighten on the beauty of Hanuman Chalisa. Padanamaskaram Swami.]
Swami replied:- Hanuman is God Shiva, Who took the incarnation of a servant to God as a role to preach the devotees. He is a two-in-one system. You will be inspired to do service to God and at the same time, you will be simultaneously blessed by the grace of God because His actions inspire your devotion and simultaneously He is God to bless you also. It is a very unique form of God, very much useful to devotees from both obverse and reverse angles.
Hanuman is the incarnation of God like Rama and Krishna. The so-called most hidden human incarnation like God Rama also told on one occasion “I can dissolve this entire creation and recreate it again as it is”. Even Rama forgot His role here and came out as actor! Regarding God Krishna, He came out as actor on several occasions. But, Hanuman never came out as actor forgetting His role! The reason is that He always concentrated to give the message to devotees through His role only, which is the most faithful service to His contemporary human incarnation of God (Rama). Two main points exist in His message to devotees:- i) The devotee must always select the contemporary human incarnation and not energetic or past human incarnation for worshipping God through service and sacrifice. ii) Even though the contemporary human incarnation (Rama) does not show any miracle and even though the devotee (Hanuman) has an ocean of miracles in His hand, the devotee must be dedicated to the contemporary human incarnation only selected on the basis of His excellent spiritual knowledge (Rama preached excellent spiritual knowledge thorough His practice) and marvelous love to devotees. Hanuman’s practice is the best ideal example for devotees in practical spiritual devotion.
