Hanuman Chalisa Intoduction part two
Some miracles associated with Hanuman
The temple complex at Puri ( Orissa in India ) is close to the sea. And yet the sounds of the ocean do not enter the temple of Lord Jagannath, because it is said, Hanuman guards the four corners of the temple. He ensures that his master is not disturbed.
The Sthanumalai temple of Suchindram in Tamilnadu, India- Devotees believe that Indra, the king of heavens visits this temple every night to pray.
A guardian deity- Hanuman is the guardian of the gates of Lord Jagannath( who in any case is a form of Shri Rama), Adi Maya Shakti( a form of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi ), the Devi of patala (who is mother Kali ) and Shri Krishna when he was in Dwaraka. In the Krttivasa Ramayana of Bengal he is also Lord Shiva's gate keeper.
Guardian of the gate serves one more function too. He screens the visitors. And the poet Tulasidas tells us that is what Hanuman does. Hanuman , thus, is an intermediary between the devotee and Rama. He ensures that those who deserve to meet Shri Rama do so. Tulasidas had the vision of Rama through the grace of Hanuman. Sugriva and Vibhishana could get access to Rama through Hanuman's good offices.
At the spritual level Sita represents the individual soul caught in the love of material good symbolized by the golden deer and she lost the track of the Truth or the Supreme God symbolized by Lord Rama. The ocean represents the chasm between the seekers ( Individual soul ) who sray away from the path. Hanuman represents the guru or devotion. He brings the two , the seeker and the truth together again. By the grace of God, Hanuman' role is to save the individual soul when it is in trouble. Rama could not have rescued Sita or others trapped in wordly desires if Hanuman had not helped her first. So if Lord Rama is the destination, hanuman is the path that we have to take in order to get there.
Hanuman has the capacity to help thus, because he serves God with his body and mind, because his heart is pure and his mind has evolved to the highest level.
He is an embodiment of all virtues, eternal celebacy, a master of the scriptures, of physical strength of a kind never known before or after and a devotee of par excellence with unflinching faith in God.He is extraordinary in everything because of the divine boons he was blessed with in his childhood.
