chanting. Kapivar‘s contrivance was in ―rupam dehi‖ in which the ―e‖ maatraa was requested by him – so it so happened that: ―Rupam dahi, jayam dahi, yasho daho, dvisho jahi‖ meaning that wishing for his resolve accomplishment may our yajmaan (organiser) Raavan‘s form be burned, his victory turn to ashes, his fame be burned, and his opponents be burned. So by Hanumaanji‘s obtaining just one maatraa, the whole Laksha-Chandi operation turned adverse by the fault of mis pronunciation and instead of giving Raavan victory, destruction was granted – what contrivance of Kapivar! When Raavan came to know this, he began to maim the brahmins with his mace. Whereupon the noble like Vibhishan etc. said to him: ―Even Bhagvati Shakti by mispronunciation through the brahmins is turning to oppose your accomplishmnent of resolution. Please believe and refrain. There is still time.‖ ―But paying no attention and flouting the words of advise of his brother Vibhishan, Raavan became convinced that the monkey who in return for his service asked only for one maatraa was no ordinary person – that Hanumaan was no ordinary monkey but a great intellectual grammatarian and knower of tantra and mantra. Raavan was set back and by the contrivance of Kapivar, Sitaa I obtained you.‖ Sitaaji asked Raam for next morning to grant a boon to Hanumaanji according to his wishes for his assistance. And as if the moon was bearing witness it shed cool rays and hiding behind the clouds watched the sweet company of Sri Raam Sitaa. Though he was cursed with deterioration of his brilliance, he had not given up his act of the play act of prakruti and purusha. Sri Raam related Kapivar‘s contrivance to Sitaa – was it not heard by any other apart from the moon? Astu. The great intellectual Hanumaan Author : rev. Swaami Sri Sachchidaanandji Was Hanumaanji a monkey or human? In reply to that question Swaamiji presents his view. In a book published by Sastu Saahitya Vardhak Kaaryaalay ―Mahaabhaarat vishe ketlaak vichaaro ane suchanaao‖ has an article ―Hanumaan and his associates were humans but not monkeys with tails‖ the essential facts within which are that Hanumaanji was very well versed with Rug-ved, Yajur-ved, Saaam-ved and grammar faculty. Such a great intellectual, who can call such individual a monkey? In this God‘s creation can one see any rule by which one can draw inference that the race of monkeys could behold wisdom of the Vedas? So, it can be concluded that Hanumaanji and Sugriva and others who were the beholders of the knowledge of Vedas were not tailed monkeys. For example, just a little time ago when the war took place between Russia and Japan, noticing the jumping of the Japanese the Russians inferred them as Yellow monkeys (many Japanese are yellow in complexion). That is how this reference became established for the Japanese. And it alo came to used as such. Also even today many Europeans and other countries refer to the Russians as bears. And for the British as the British lions or John Bull. And take the example of our Bhaarat. Warriors of the Naag dynasty (Naag-vanshi) are famed, whose descendants of Chhotaa-nag-pur etc. Mahaarajas pride themselves with the title of ―Naag‖ (serpent). So were they really serpents? Not so, they beheld the lustre of warriors so their dynasty became known as ―Naag‖. Similarly, there is no doubt that Sugriva and his other associates and aids became known as monkeys. Observe, even to this day many 62 | P a g e

statues of Hanumaanji‘s face have moustache bent at the ends – so has anyone seen such moustaches on the faces of the monkeys? Yes, humans do have them. What do these moustaches suggest? It is worth thinking over. Not observing the essential foundation of Maharshi Vaalmik, just as the story telling of the Puraans began in Bhaarat, so did the stories of hanumaan and Sugriva etc, spread out. Think over, can it happen for there to be a kingdom of the monkeys? In Ramaayan there is description of Kishkindhaa, a wealthy kingdom similar to those of the humans. In which case how can the residents and statesmen administrators of that kingdom be believed to be monkeys? Yes, in the construction of poetic verses some names may get attached to their synonym. By above facts, it becomes apparent that Hanumaan etc. were not tailed monkeys. But they were humans. Hunumaan was a great intellectual, in that subject thee is a prevalent example. Once in Bhagwaan Raam‘s court, the mind knower (antaryaami) Ramchandraji observed the mind set of members that Hanumaan was a servant / guard sitting constantly at the feet of Raamchandraji. He cannot be included in the class of intellectuals. Observing this neglect / disrespect of Hanumaan, Bhagwaan could not tolerate it. So to expose the intellectual brilliance of his devotee, suddenly in the full court he asked Hanumaanji a question – who are you? Hearing the question, Hanumaanji was astonished – does not my sweet Lord not know me? Surely it seems this question is being asked with an intent to the one who is ever present at his sanctified holy feet. So this could not remain hidden from intellectual Hanumaan. Immediately with clasped hands standing up within the ear shot of all courtiers in clear and full of intellectual words he couteously said: By the consciousness of the gross body, I am your servant – you are my dear as life Lord In practical terms I am part of you the resident in all - In mind set of individual being From the angle of the aatma, I – you is that only one From the vision of the Bhrahm, I am not nor are you In the inexpressible, how can exist you and me? By such reply there was a great surprise in the court. Hanumaanji got accounted amongst the best knowledgeable and intellectuals. By this example it becomes clear that hanumaanji was great knowledgeable intellectual, who can say that such spiritual knowledge exists in monkey with tail?. So by this it becomes very apparent Hanumaan was a human. In Muktikopnishad, Sri Raamchandraji in peaching to Hanumaanji says: Vasanaam sam-parityajya mayi chin-maatra vigrahe | Yas-tishatathi gata-sneha-ha soham sach-chit-sukhaatma-ka-ha || Darshan-a-darshane hitwaa svayam keval roopa-ta-ha | Ya aaste kapi-shaardul bhrahm sa bhrahm-chitta svayam || Meaning: Those beings renouncing all attachments meaning giving up all affection to anything and stabilising the ―I‖ (ego) on the pure consciuosness considers just me as his form – that being transcends to become my sat-chit-aanand truth-consciousness-bliss form.
