Hanumaanji. Arjun informed Hanumaanji of the request of Sri krishnaji, whereupon
Hanumaanji said he was not acquainted with Sri Krishnaji and Arjun returned to relay
same to Sri Krishnaji. Whereupon Sri Krishnaji said to Arjun to ask hanumaanji that Sri
Raamchandraji was calling for him.
Again Arjun repeated to Hanumaanji that Sri Raamchandraji was caling for him, so
please come for his vision.
Upon hearing of the name of Sri Raamchandraji, Hanumaanji was overcome and he lifted
Arjun and started to wolk. When Hanumaanji arrived, Sri Krishnaji had assumed the
form of Sri Raam. Hanumaanji bowed / saluted the Raam form of Sri Krishnaji and said
―O Lord, I am very tired of war‖. Thereupon Sri Krishnaji said ― O Hanumaanji, you do
not have to fight in the war, just to sit on AQrjun‘s chariot.
In this way, Sri Krishnaji found it necessary to for presence of Hanumaanji‘s might /
capability / power.
On conclusion of the war when Hanumaanji alighted from Arjun‘s chariot, it went up in
flames, because due to the powerful weopans of Bhishma and Drona, the chariot had
already been destined for destruction but was saved till that time by the divine grace of
Hanumaanji.
The reason for ointing Hanumaanji with oil and sindoor (lead oxide) on Saurday is
follows.
Once Shanidev (Deity of the Saturn planet) relayed to Hanumaanji that he will be passing
through Shani panoti (house of Saturn according to astrology) from the next day.
Hanumaanji sent reply ―Very well, please do come‖. Accordingly Shanidev came the
next day and adked Hanumaanji that he had to reside on his body. Hanumaanji provided a
location on his tail for Shanidev. Thereafter, Hanumaanji whizzed his tail at tremendous
speed which was no match for Shanidev to enduredue to his slow pace.
Shanidev said to Hanumaanji‖Brother, I am going . I cannot endure the high speed
movement of your tail, but I grant you a boon that any human who is not capable of
enduring my pain, if they oint you with oil and sindoor, they will not be afflicted by my
pain‖.
Thereafter commenced the practice of ointing Hanumaanji with oil and sindoor.
The purpose of this article is that Hanumaanji is a visible deity and this experience can be
gained by his worship and this is our guidance / instruction.
