Absolute complete surrender - Hanuman to Ram

A perfect example for a surrendered devotee of Lord is Hanuman ji. Lord Hanuman symbolically stands for pure devotion , complete surrender and absence of ego or the lower self. As the son of Vayu, symbolically he also stands for the subtle body consisting of the breath body, the mental body and the intelligence body. Here we explain Hanuman as the mental body in a human being. The mind is fickle (like a monkey) and jumps from place to place, going after things, engaging itself in innumerable activities that disturb the peace of the place. The mind, like Hanuman can also travel where it wants to. It can fly in the air, cross the continents and the worlds in an instant with the speed of thought and reach any one and anything it wants to mentally. It can also expand or contracts itself at will (again like Hanuman). So long as it remains under the control of pure animal passions and the activities of the sense, it remains unstable and mischievous, causing a lot of the disturban

The turning storm

Every storm that has come into your life has widened your horizon, has made you deeper and more powerful.  Every storm has destroyed some smallness in you.  My individual self, simply dissolves into my big, true nature! ~ Ashtavakra Gita Pic courtesy: Prabu Vijayan
