wider area. Under the auspicies of the penance of the Mahaatmaaji to Maaruti are some
12 to 14 villages and many disciples. The victorious flag of Maaruti flies.
Once some Gaud people came to loot the wealth of the Math and attacked. The terrified
disciples relayed all to Mahaatma Baldev-daasji.
The Gauds were numbered some two to three thousand with weapons. Apart from the
disciples wee also present the villagers as it was gathering time.. Mahaatmaaji requested
all to be silent and went to the temple of Maarutiji, and humbly began to pray:
―O Lord! Your place, your reputation. You are the looter, and you are the wealth to loot,
there is nothing of your servant. All these accomplishments and wealth are but your
grace. So that the universe may not slander penance of Maarutiji, that is the only wish of
your devotee.‖
With sounds from within the temple, thousands in number of monkeys rushed against the
looters. The unduly proud unruly Gaud looters were frightened and ran for their lives.
Within a moment the monkeys had vanished. The present all kneeled at the feet of the
Mahaatmaaji.
At the present day in the Math is Sri Vishnudaasji mahant, who is presiding for the
running of the Math. Iti. Jay Maaruti !
Hanumaanji’s snap of fingers
Devotee cannot tolerate moment‘s separation from Bhagwaan. This caricature from
Hanumanji‘s life will bring smile as also knowledge to the readers.
Tulsidaasji atributing the title of ―Atulit-bal-dhaama‖ in his prayers to devotional
Hanumaanji is worth noting. It is true that son of wind had immeasurable strength. The
heroism he displayed during the Raam – Raavan battle, who can fully describe it? Just as
was his devotion, so also was his indescribable strength.. Therefore he was strong beyond
measure is no way beyond fact. But Goswaami mahaaraaj praying by calling him ―Atulit
bal dhaamaa‖ does not seem as if he had conjured it by being impressed by renowned
Raam-kathaa‘s Hanumaanji‘s heroism. We believe that after listening to the little known
story of the heroism of Hanumaan, Tulsidaas addressing him as ―Atulit bal dhaama‖
bowed his head in reverence to his Guru. You may question that if Goswaami had known
of the heroic feats, then why did he not include it in ―Raam-charit-maanas‖. We are also
surprised by it. But how dare we question ―Why?‖. Instead why don‘t we reminiscing on
Pavankumaar‘s sanctifying name enjoy the heroism tales.
Well then, here it is:
In Ayodhyaa‘s sky-scraping palace, in one of the rooms was seated Bhagwaan
Raamchandraji. In front by his feet was seated with his legs bent as of awaiting his
command was Hanumaanji. Bhagwaan‘s face was smeared with a mild smile. The
devotee‘s heart has blossomed with devotion. Just like a parent pleasantly watches the
beloved child, so Bhagwaan was staring at the devotee‘s face. And like understanding the
affection of the parent the devotee‘s mind has become full of joy. The environment has
become sanctified. Every atom is filled with it.
Suddenly there is jingling sound of anklets. And pulling aside the silk curtain on the side
of the room, the great queen Sitaa entered.
