Right in the middle of the compound of the temple is a coourtyard. Besides Sundays and<br />
holidays, there are not many abouot at the temple. Yes, the temples cows and monkeys do<br />
roam aboout.<br />
On the outside gates of the temple on bothe sides are statues of huge lions. Of those on<br />
the right was seated a small female monkey. As I was climbing the steps passing between<br />
the lions, she jumped trying to snatch away the flower garland and sat on the on the other<br />
lion. I had held on to the garland tightly, so the monkey could not take it away. I went<br />
inside the temple.I raised my hand to offer the garland to Mother when my gaze fell on<br />
the broken garland in my hand..<br />
I was disappointed when I purchased it and now I was even more disappointed to see it<br />
broken. I thought in my mind Hanumaanji did not leave even that garland whole. I will<br />
not go to see Hanumaanji now.<br />
I offered with saddened heart the broken garland to Mother Durgaa. Saluting her, I<br />
reverted back I noticed the monkey still seated on the lion. Ehen she had tried to snatch<br />
the garland, some flowers had ended up in her hands, She was breaking up the flowers<br />
and devouring them.<br />
I was again angry. What ever the state of the garland I had bought with great faith and<br />
Hanumaanji had got it broken.<br />
And that day I did not go to see Hanumaanji. I returned back from there.<br />
That night I had a dream. In the dream I saw Mother‘s temple. In the temple were<br />
numerous statues of the Mother. Amongst those, there was a statue of Mother with the<br />
mouth of a monkey. As I was having the vision, immediately Mother Devi came stood in<br />
front of me and said: ―I had taken one of your flower due to your great faith. You have<br />
expressed your displeasure on Hanumaanji for no reason. You probably do not know –<br />
Hanumaanji is my son.‖<br />
I got up in the morning and after normal chores I had my bath. But the words of the<br />
monkey goddess in the night still reverberated in my ears: ―I had taken one of your<br />
flower due to your great faith. You have expressed your displeasure on Hanumaanji for<br />
no reason. You probably do not know – Hanumaanji is my son.‖<br />
I finished my morning worship in haphazard way. Retiring from the worship I started to<br />
look in the scripture books to discover if here was a form of the mother with face of a<br />
monkey<br />
Looking at the books I found in ancient Aagam-granth a notation to the monkey face<br />
form of Bhagawati.I also came to know that before the advent of the rama incarnation,<br />
many devas and devis had taken form to aid Bhagwaan Raam. Amongst them the<br />
Monkey Goddess had taken incarnation of Anjanaa-devi – who was the mother of Sri<br />
Hanumaanji!<br />
The kind reader should not consider this as a miracle or extraordinary. If we have firm<br />
faith / intellect towards the divine, then the divine energy is not beyond us. Every faithful<br />
being can experience this. If there is any lacking then it is that of our faith..<br />
This essence my self experience is that Hanumaanji‘s grace can also be obtained by this<br />
medium. It is my humble request is that such descriptions in the scriptures of the divinely<br />
energised beings not be considered as just humans or animals but to be inspired by their<br />
great feats and deeds – you will obtain bliss thus.<br />
