        Hanuman’s Humbleness (Part 3) A common question should occur in your mind that, Why did Hanuman wanted to eat fruits of Ashok Vatika? He should have immediately returned after finding Sita. When Hanumanji was hiding in the leaves of a tree in Ashok Vatika, he overheard Lankini. She said that she had a dream in which a monkey is burning the city of Lanka. She further saw that Ram will kill Ravan in the battle. But Hanuman was told by Jamvant to find Sita and return. He thought to himself that there must have been some update in the program that’s why god showed Lankini that dream.He assured the Lord that he would complete all the tasks. I hope that answers the question. Now,Hanuman started gobbling the fruits. He started creating a commotion to attract Ravan’s attention. He picked trees and threw them, killed all the soldiers who came to rescue him. When soldiers weren’t able to capture him, Ravan sent his son ‘Akshaykumar.’Angad said before ...

Hanuman's Humbleness(Part-2)

                    Hanuman’s Humbleness (Part-2) Hanuman entered the kingdom and started finding Sita. He saw a temple of Lord Ram. He got confused that how come a pious soul is living in a kingdom of demons. He started chanting Lord Ram’s name and hearing this Vibhisan immediately came to see, who was chanting Ram’s name. Vibhisan asked him whether he was Ram himself who had come to bless him. Hearing this Hanuman disclosed his identity and his purpose of coming to Lanka. Vibhisan told him that Sita was kept in Ashok Vatika. When Hanuman reached Ashok Vatika, Ravan was threatening Sita. He was asking her to marry him. Sita replied that she was abducted when no one was by her side and still Ravan is not not ashamed. She further continued and said that she had absolutely no respect for him. On hearing this Ravan filled with rage said that she had insulted him and now she had to marry him otherwise she would lose her life. Sita said...

Hanuman's Humbleness (Part-1)

                       Hanuman’s Humbleness (Part 1) Sita has been kidnapped. Everyone along with Lord Ram is standing at the coast. It is not decided yet, that who will go to find her. Angad breaks the silence and says that he can go but doesn’t promise to return alive. Jamvant says that now he has become too old. Everyone is pitching except one who is silent, Hanumanji. Jamvant starts to provoke him. In his childhood, Hanumanji got a curse from Matang rishi that he would lose all his powers and will regain them in the need of the hour. Jamvant provokes him and Hanumanji recalls all his powers. What Jamvant says to him? We will discuss that some other day. Hanumanji now asks Jamvant that, what should he do?   A person who has the immense powers (asht-siddhi according to hanuman chalisa) is asking an old man what to do. Jamvantji says that you can go and easily return. He starts his...

Hanuman VS Ravan

                                  Hanuman VS Ravan Ravan hated Hanuman’s पूँछ . This line is a pun. He hated his tail (which had burnt his kingdom) and his name which was spreading among people. So one day he thought of pulling out Hanumanji’s tail. Hanuman was sitting on a large rock. Ravan quietly came from behind, held his tail and applied all the force of his ten arms. Hanumanji turned and saw Ravan. When he saw Ravan he started flying. Ravan came to pull out the tail but now was praying to Lord Shiva that this tail does not come off. After flying for a while Hanumanji let him go. After his incident Ravan’s hatred increased and he sent 4 different armies to defeat Hanuman. They were warriors with elephant, horses, chariots and infantry. They came to kill Hanuman and he wiped them in no time. Messengers went to Ravan and filled him regarding the fight. Ravan...

Lord Krishna OR Narayani Sena

               Lord Krishna OR Narayani Sena During the preparations of the biggest war ever fought i.e. Mahabharat, representatives from both sides went to Lord Krishna to seek help in the war. Lord Krishna was sleeping at that time. Duryodhan reached first and sat in a chair which was near the head of Krishna. Arjun entered later and being a true devotee sat at the legs of Narayan. Balaram had already refrained from taking part in the war. He had taken a vow from Krishna that Krishna would not be partial towards Arjun and will help whoever he saw first. When Krishna woke up he saw Arjun seated on the ground near his legs. He turned around and saw Duryodhan sitting near his head. We can understand the difference between a true devotee/friend and a fair weathered friend clearly. Arjun genuinely needed help and Duryodhan wanted to exploit Krishna’s vow. Moving on Krishna offered Arjun the first choice between 1 whole akshauhini of Narayani S...

Why Lord Ram chose Sugriv over Bali

            Why Lord Ram chose Sugriv over Bali This is one of the most confusing question in Ramayan. Bali was given a boon by the creator of the universe, Brahma that he would get half of his opponent’s strength while fighting. Still Lord Ram chose his younger brother as his ally. Why? We will understand that more in detail. First of all we first need to know who were Bali and Sugriv. Bali was the son of Lord Indra and Sugriv was the son of Lord Surya. They ruled Vanar kingdom named Kishkindh. Both the brothers had immense love and respect for each other. Once a demon who thought himself to be the most powerful came to know of Bali’s boon. The demon knew that he had to defeat Bali to prove his superiority. So the demon challenged Bali and he immediately accepted. During the fight the demon ran into a cave. Bali followed and ordered Sugriv to guard the entrance so the demon cannot escape and attack their kingdom. Sugriv followed his order. Their figh...

Why Arjun was better than Karna

               Why Arjun was better than Karna? Both of them were indeed great warriors. No one could match their valour, knowledge, strength and focus. But still why did the Tridev call Arjun the best warrior on earth?   I’ll try to explain that to you in the next few minutes. A common myth spread among people is that Arjun was declared best because Lord Krishna was on his side. This is a baseless statement. Lord Krishna was on his side because he was on the side of dharm. So what is the actual reason? They had the same teacher and same knowledge was given to both of them still one student was superior than the latter. The truth is Arjun acquired the knowledge of weapons to become an excellent warrior while on the other hand Karna acquired the knowledge to become the best . He was always in an unhealthy competition with Arjun. Before moving forward we need to first understand the difference between being bes...
