stabilises into the Brahm, in other words becomes commited that he is Brahm – he becomes the knower of Brahm and himself becomes Brahm. By this sruti (verse) it becomes clear Hanumaan‘s eligibility of not just any ordinary being but a being even greater than human – a divine being. So call him divine or Vaanar human but not from the animal kingdom‘s monkey. This becomes easily comprehensible. Humans are in four types.(1) Nar (2) Lok (3) Jan (4) Maanav. Humans in the Nar category are described in theGitaa by Bhagwaan: Tulya Nindaa stutir-mouni santush-tou yen ken-chit | Ani-ket-ha sthir matir-bhaktim-aana-me priyo nar-ha || The one who considers praise and criticism wit equanimity, and is also deep thinking, and remains content with whatever available for body upkeep, and remains unattached without affection to location of his stay, the stable intellectual is very pleasing to me. And also: Sve sdhe karmanya-bhirata-ha sam-siddhi labhate nar-ha ( Gita 18-45) Sraddha-yaa parayaa tapatam tapasta-tri-vidham narei-ha | a-falaa-kaam-kshi-bhir-yuktei-ha saatvikam pari-chaksha-te || The one engaged in his normal duties human (nar) achieves the bhagvat achievement of utmost fulfilment (siddhi). Similarly the three penanaces known as Saatvik penances - the being who achieves these is motiveless, free of desires of fruits of actions, and totally faithful. All these qualities are present in Hanumaan. In other words, the qualities of Nar are embedded in Warrior Hanumaan. And also to aid bhagvaan Vishnu‘s incarnation the divine beings were born ino the Nar type as human beings.(This is proclaimed in the Raamaayan).So it is established that Hanumaan and Sugriv etc. were human beings and not animals in the form of monkeys.. And now the description of qualities of the class of beings: Yagna-artha-arta-karmano-anyatra loko-ayam karma-bandhana-ha (A.3.9) Those actions performed in the course of yagna, apart from those all other actions are binding the beings. In other words Bhagwaan has described beingsengrossed in worldy actions by the word ―Lok‖. They perfprm all good actions – but for consumption and achieving end goals for themselves – to achieve fruits of those actions. Now follows description of ―Jan‖: Pra-vruttim cha ni-vruttim cha jan na vidur-asuraa-ha (A. 16.7) Pretaan-bhoot-ganaan-scha-anye yajante taamsaa janaa-haa (A.17.4) A-shhashtra-vihitam ghoram tapa-yante ye tapo janaa-haa (A.17.5) 64 | P a g e

The beings in the category of ―Jan‖ are of demonic behaviour and outlook and do not know of engaging in actions and dis-engaging from non-actions. Such being of tamas qualities worship ghosts. And also they do penance prohibited by the scriptures. They ascribe to bodily pleasures and know none other than actions of eating, fear, sleep, procreation. Such beings of animal qiualities are categorised in the ―Jan‖ class of beings. In other words ―Jananeti-jana-ha‖ – the one engaged solely in procreation is known as ―Jan‖. Now follows description of ―Maanav‖: The being who aho prfesses to bring the mind under control. And also has tendency to consume detachedly fruits gained by performing righteous actions is known as ―Maanav‖ ―Yata-ha pra-vruttir-bhutaanaam yen sarvam-idam tatam | sva-karmanaa tama-bhya-arcya siddhim vindati maanava-ha || (A.18.46) The Param-aatmaa (highest being) from whom all beings have come forth and by whom this whole is pervaded – the one worshipping that Param-aatmaa (Maanav) achieves the highest accomplishment. Just as a fithful wife considering her husband as her everything and continuously thinking thus performs to the requirements of her husband with all her mind, speech and body devoting the actions to the Lord, such a being is counted in the category of ―Maanav‖ class. Thinking thus establishes warrior Hanumaanji was a devotee of the highest class, spiritual knowledge, and residing in the highest class of ―Nar‖, a qualitative human. But then The Lord knows all. Astu.. Sri Hanumaanji in Valmiki Raamaayan Author: Dr. Sri Bhaanu-shankar Nilkanth Aachaarya M.A.PhD Based on Vaalmiki Raamaayan, facts are presented here of Sri Hanumaanji‘s form and other details – Editor Sri Hanumaanji has been described as a monkey in Vaalmiki Raamaayan and other Raamaayans. But reading through his description in Vaalmiki Raamaayan, it observes clearly that he must have been a human. Sri Hanumaanji’s knowledge of the scriptures The event of the first meeting of Sri Raam Laxman with Sri Hanumaanji is described the poet as: Naan-rugved vini-tasya naa-yajur-ved-dhaarin-ha | Naa-saam-ved vidush-ha shakyam-eva vi-bhaashi-tum || Nunam vyaakaram krutsna-manen bahudaa srutam | Bahubyaa-harataanen na kimchid-pashabdi-tam || (Kiskindhaa Kaand 3-28-29) 65 | P a g e
