Hanuman’s
‘Chiranjeevi’ness
Hanuman Jayanthi is usually celebrated in April all
round the country.
Lord Hanuman’s star is Moolam.
Lord Hanuman is a Chiranjeevi [Chiram (long) + Jeevi (life)],
which in earthly sense means death-defying personality.
[Hinduism notes 7 such chiranjeevies, and some scriptures
add more]. This does not mean that Hanuman did not get Moksha [right to live in
the Kingdom of God] - he did receive Moksha, and he decided to stay in this
world. Whether he is in the Spiritual World (God's Kingdom) or here in this
world, he has the same activity. When it was time for Lord Rama to depart to
Vaikundam, many of his entourage wanted to accompany Him. However, Hanuman
requested from Rama that he would be on the earth to listen to Rama Nama rather
to His various other names as Vishnu in Vaikundam. Sita accorded him that wish
and granted that his image would be installed in various public places, so that
he could listen to people chanting Rama's name. Sita also bestowed that Hanuman
would be ever-youthful, vivacious, dynamic and immortal.
Let us also join Hanuman in spreading the name of Ram and
spirituality and live in this material world amicably.
Jai Sita Ram. Jai Hanuman.
