Gautam Saha: He was born from the womb of the monkey devotee Anjani
\nThe son of Vayu, the god of winds, he is no other than Hanumanji
\nThe greatest devotee of Lord Rama, in this and every other yuga
\nVery learned in the scriptures, head bowed in devotion to Lord Rama <\/p>\n
Hanumanji the warrior was strong and brave and vigorous
\nHanumanji the devotee was kind and gentle and gracious
\nHe dispatched the demons and miscreants with great promptness
\nHe protected the devotees and pious persons with gentleness <\/p>\n
When Rama and Lakshmana were seeking Sita, he met them disguised as a brahmin
\nIn the land of Kishkinda, Hanumanji enquired as to their true identity and mission
\nThe Lord recognized and embraced Hanumanji with tearful sentiment
\nThe Lord and His devotee were united in an embrace of love and cherishment <\/p>\n
Lord Rama helped the southern prince Sugreeva to regain his honour and kingdom
\nSugreeva and his army of monkies swore to help the Lord regain Sita\u2019s freedom
\nHanumanji left to seek out Sita and finally found her imprisoned in Lanka
\nHe wrought havoc around the area and forced an audience with the demon Ravana <\/p>\n
Hanumanji warned Ravana of dire consequences if he did not release Sita with goodwill
\nIn response Ravana set fire to his tail, but Hanumanji used it to burn Lankan property at will
\nLord Rama then built a bridge of stones and prepared to besiege Lanka
\nThe army of monkies crossed over and took on the hordes of Ravana <\/p>\n
In the long battle that ensued, Lakshmana was gravely injured and his chances were dim
\nHanumanji braved many hazards to bring the sanjeevani herb which instantly cured him
\nFinally Lord Ramachandra let loose His arrows and the demon Ravana lay in death and defeat
\nRama and Sita returned to Ayodhya and regained their throne, with Hanumanji at their feet <\/p>\n
Hanumanji ever sat at the Lord\u2019s feet and gazed up at Him, without a single moment apart
\nHe wished for Rama and Sita to be always together, and kept Them imprisoned in his heart
\nOn the other hand Ravana wished to separate Lakshmi and Narayan, and lay in dismemberment
\nThis is the destiny of all demons and miscreants, who invite the Lord\u2019s personal chastisement <\/p>\n
When it was time for the Lord to end His earthly leela and return to Vaikuntha
\nAccompanied by His righteous associates including Sugreeva and Lakshmi as Sita
\nHanumanji desired to stay back on earth, only just to hear Rama\u2019s name in chanting
\nEven if there is only one devotee of Rama on this earth, Hanumanji is eagerly listening <\/p>\n
This is the saga of Hanumanji, the eternal, pure and perfect devotee
\nThere is no other like him, in his devotion, dynamism and simplicity
\nAs strong as the wind, as fast as lightning, for demons a fierce fiend
\nBut for the devotee, helpful, protective, gentle and a kind friend <\/p>\n
