Ajaadyam Vaakpatuthvam cha Hanumathsmaranaathbhaveth"
The very thought of Hanuman will bestows us with intelligence, strength, courage, health, fearlessness, eloquence of speech. Hanuman was a very intelligent person. He knew all sastras. He learnt sastras from the Sun God. He was endowed with strength. Some have wisdom but are weaklings. Some have strength but are not wise. Though some have both intelligence and strength it does not benefit the society at large. Both should be of use to a dharmaathma, for the sake of righteousness. Hanumans strength and wisdom was of great use to Sri Rama. When Hanuman crossed the ocean a naagamatha by name Surasa wanted to test his prowess. She wanted to swallow him up. He grew monstrous in size for 100 yojanas. Surasa also grew in size. But hanuman immediately shrank himself and entered her mouth, came back swiftly. This leela shows his strength when he grew in size. When he shrank his size it manifests his presence of mind.
Hanuman is a famous figure. He even threatened Ravana at his sabha. He advised Ravana. He did not fear even when his tail was lit on fire. He did not pray to Rama to save him. He lit Lanka instead. All these shows his fearlessness.
He was very strong because of his staunch brahmacharyam. He had good health because of celebacy. He brought the Oshadiparvatha and bestowed all the warriors with new life.
He also talked sweetly. Sri Rama Himself appreciated his meaningful words. There are no words to describe Hanuman's glory.
