Devotion Of Hanumanji

 Hanumanji saw lord Rama everywhere including in his body. Once asked about devotion, he tore his chest and showed everyone lord Rama, Mata Sita and Lakshman inside his chest. This picture of devotion is most popular and easily available in the market. Another piece of devotion when he was asked to bring Sanjivini Booti to cure Lakshman, he brought a big part of hill which had that Booti everywhere in it. Third things about devotion. During wartime, they had to make a bride of stones on water to cross the sea. Every stone floated on which “Rama” name was written. When lord Rama himself tried, the stone fell in the water and didn’t float — at this Hanumanji said “When lord leaves somebody they can’t walk a single step on their own.” Hanumanji’s whole life is full of devotion, even today whenever Ramayana is read, he reaches there.

Hanumanji And Tulsi

 Once people were offering Laddu, Halwa, Kheer, fruits and many other eatables to Hanumanji and he ate everything — more they brought, more he ate. Hanumanji’s hunger couldn’t be satisfied. Everyone was worried ‘coz soon all the eatables was about to finish. At this one wise person brought a leaf of Tulsi, washed that in water the offered to Hanumanji, when he ate this, his stomach was filled immediately. As Ram and Krishna love Tulsi, Hanmanji also loves Tulsi.

Type Of Devotion (Puja, Sadhana) To God

 In Hindu religion, you can take God / Goddess in any form that suits you — and you are supposed to be bounded by that rule. Swami - Sevak : example, lord Hanuman. Brother - Brother : many people worship lord Hanuman as their elder brother. Brother - Sister : God as a brother. Father - Child: Dhruv. Child - Mother: Koshalya, Devaki and others. Worshiping lord Krishna as Bal-Gopal is an example of this. Friend - Friend: Arjun. Husband - Wife: Gopis, Radha and Meera. Even some men play as a woman and call for God. Enemy - Enemy: Ravan. Veer Bhaav Sadhana: Tantra. In Tantra people think about Shakti, as Mother, Sister or Wife. Some choose Her as a Mother, some as a Sister and some as a Wife. It's a different choice for different people.
