greatness. Just as candy increases the swetness of when mixed in milk – in same manner
serving to Raam placed a star in Hanumaanji‘s life.
Easy to be called servant but to become a servant is dificult

Even unknown to yogis - of the leader in duty of service – letus reminisce on the life of
Maaruti.
To write about the life of Maaruti is akin to lighting the Sun with a candle, nevertheless
some of the events of his life are helpful for progress of human life and very useful.
Child warrior son of Anjani Hanumaan
Extraordinary men‘s birth is also extraordinary. When the words hit Anjani‘s ears that by
the light of Sadaa-Shiv she would carry a child, she then trying to disprove the words
buried her body down from midrif in the earth and carry out penance. But what is
foretold cannot be erased. The saying ―Man thinks he does all, the doer is but another,
what has been initiated remains unfinished, only by the will of the almighty gets done‖
came to be tested. To accomplish the fruits of the penance, Anjani got Bhagwaan Shankar
to blow the mantra, fate does not fail. Shankar‘s semon by blowing entered through the
ear of Anjani into her womb. Fate‘s great strength did its work. Minutes, hours, days and
months went by, Anjani‘s foetus began to grow, Sri Hanumaanji took birth. The child
began to play in lap of Anjani. Anjani passed days imparting her motherly love. The child
gets hungry. Seeing the sun in the sky thinks it was a fruit to eat. The child displayed his
valour. At the speed of wind he departed to devour the sun. Indra thinking it was a demon
trying to devour the sun threw his weapon vajra at him. The child fell to break his jaw
(hanu in sanskrut) and became known as Hanumaan. Can a child be so valorous?. Why
not? If the earth is good, the seed is good, the rains are proper, good husbandry should
see a good crop. Anjani was personification of celibacy, statue of penance, Shankar a
yogi, his semon unfailing, child from that semon means a symbol of valour, intellect.
Compare modern cowardly society of low intellect to this Mahaavir. For this to happen is
due to breaking of the rules of rearing children.
Chief of the army and beginning of the army.
To a child mother‘s lap is his heaven. And it also world of Bhrahm and Vainkunth.
Similarly the one who has spent his life in the lap of mother nature, he has no aspirations
of worldly things. In him sprouts valour, intellect and expansion of great character, the
capability to understand success of human life.
Lap of mother nature means the simple singing of birds, the luminosity of the nature in
the form of flora and fauna waving in the pleasant wind. The tops of mountains
conversing with the clouds in the sky. By the roars of the wild beasts, the forest
reverberates. Where there is play of lovely animals like deer, the ―hum, hum‖ sounds of
somersaulting monkeys, streams and rivers are running out zealously to meet the sea
saying to the humans why don‘t you have the zeal to meet the creator? Look we are
going, why are you still sleeping? In such excellent lap Hanumaan begins to rear from a
child to a youth. He wrestles with his contemporaries. Does sit up and downs. Does
meditation. Together he learns of worldly knowledge. His life aim is to serve – how can
he be a fool? Fools can never serve.
