HappY HanumaN Jayanti SpeciaL

He had devotion, knowledge, spirit of selfless service, power of celibacy, and desirelessness. He never boasted of his bravery and intelligence.He said to Ravana, "I am a humble messenger of Sri Rama. I have come here to serve Rama, to do His work. By the command of Lord Rama, I have come here. I am fearless by the Grace of Lord Rama. I am not afraid of death. I welcome it if it comes while serving Lord Rama."Mark here how humbleHanumanwas! How very devoted he was to Lord Rama! He never said, "I am the braveHanuman. I can do anything and everything."Lord Rama Himself said to SriHanuman, "I am greatly indebted to you, O mighty hero! You did marvellous, superhuman deeds. You do not want anything in return. Sugriva has his kingdom restored to him. Angada has been made the crown prince. Vibhishana has become king of Lanka. But you have not asked for anything at any time. You threw away the precious garland of pearls given to you by Sita. How can I repay My debt of gratitude to you? I will always remain deeply indebted to you. I give you the boon of everlasting life. All will honour and worship you like Myself. Your murti will be placed at the door of My temple and you will be worshipped and honoured first. Whenever My stories are recited or glories sung, your glory will be sung before Mine. You will be able to do anything, even that which I will not be able to!"Thus did Lord Rama praiseHanumanwhen the latter returned to Him after finding Sita in Lanka. Hanumanwas not a bit elated. He fell in prostration at the holy feet of Lord Rama.   Lord Rama asked him, "O mighty hero, how did you cross the ocean?"Hanumanhumbly replied, "By the power and glory of Thy Name, my Lord."    Again the Lord asked, "How did you burn Lanka? How did you save yourself?"   AndHanumanreplied, "By Thy Grace, my Lord."   What humility SriHanumanembodied!His birthday falls on Chaitra Shukla Purnima (the March-April full moon day). On this holy day worship SriHanuman. Fast on this day. Read the Hanuman Chalisa. Spend the whole day in the Japa of Ram-Nam. SriHanumanwill be highly pleased and will bless you with success in all your undertakings. Glory to Hanuman! Glory to his Lord, Sri Rama!
