“ Nanrugvedavineethasya naayajurvedadharinaha
Naasamavedavidushaha shakya Evam prabhaashithum
Nunam Vyakaranam Kruthsnam Anena bahudha srutham
Bahuvyaaharathaanena na Kinchidapashabditham”
We need brain and
brawn to succeed in any endeavour. If one is brilliant yet is of weak stature
he needs to depend on a healthy person to fulfil any of his tasks. Similarly a
man of muscular strength needs to depend on an intelligent person for his
suggestions. On the contrary if a person is both wise and strong yet is
involved in prohibitive activities he is of no use to the society. The
greatness of hanuman is that he is wise, strong and noble. He served Rama as a
virtuous attendar. He was unmarried till the end and knew all the sastras. He
was humble, loving and selfless. He was a gnani inall. “ Gnani cha
Bharatharshabha”—When Madhusudhana Saraswathi wrote a commentary for Gita, for
this phrase he picks up Aanjaneya swamy as an example.
Vali and
Sugreeva were the sons of the vanara king Ruksharajas. They were united at the
beginning. But due to the battle of Mayavi unforeseen circumstances split the
brothers. Sugreeva surrendered to Vali. Still Vali did not forgive his blunder.
He usurped his wealth and wife as well. He chased him away from the kingdom. As
righteousness was on the side of Sugreeva Hanuman supported the latter and
stayed with him, consoling him all the while.
Rama
heard from kabanda about Sugreeva and came in search of him to the banks of the
lake Pampa. At first Sugreeva suspected that it could be the spies sent by Vali
to attack him. Hanuman met Rama, introduced himself and enquired about Rama.
Rama was overwhelmed by Hanuman’s speech.. he praised Hanuman’s wisdom to
lakshmana. “ See Lakshmana ,from Hanuman’s speech it is obvious that he is well
versed in all the four Vedas and the 9 Vyakaranas. His speech is neither too
fast nor too slow. His voice is neither too loud nor too soft. His sweet
voice captivates the heart of one and
all. It is pregnant with the authority of the sastras and acceptable to one and
all. It is devoid of a single absurd word. If even an enemy hears him he would
surrender his heart to hanuman. He is fortunate who will have Hanuman as his
messenger.”
The way Rama
extols Hanuman proves how much rama would have admired Hanuman.
