Was Vali actually stronger than both Ravana and Hanuman combined?

• Hanuman, Bali, and Ravana, who has the greatest strength?

• Hanuman, known by many names such as Bajrang Bali, Mahaveer, Pavan Putra, Maruti, etc., is known for his immense strength, intelligence, cleverness, and his ability to travel faster than the speed of the wind.

• Bali has his own strength, but he has a boon. Anyone who fights him while looking into his eyes will transfer half of their strength to him. This boon makes him impossible to defeat.

• Ravan - Ravan is mighty, strong, even a god People are afraid to fight with him, who is called Dashanan. Along with being a great devotee of Lord Shiva, he is an expert in weapons and is very powerful in war.

• But if there is a war between these three then who will be victorious? In this war, if there is a war between Ravan and Bali then Bali will be victorious because Bali once held Ravan in his armpit for months.

• And if there is a war between Bali and Hanuman Ji then according to the boon, Bali will get half the power of Hanuman Ji but Hanuman Ji is not only strong, he is also adept at cunning, and cunning is greater than strength. Hanuman Ji may not be able to defeat Bali with brawn, but with cunning.

• In the event of a war between Ravana and Hanuman, Hanuman will be victorious.

Why did Hanuman stay on Arjuna’s chariot but never actually join the fight?

 Hanuman is Vayuputra, and Bheem was also Vayuputra from different yugas. Hanuman fought in treta yuga with lord Rama against the Lankan Asura army. His task as a great warrior was accomplished in that yuga. His next big task is during the Kali Yuga, to be the frontline general against the ultra-powerful demon Kali. He is one of the seven Chiranjeevis, who will defeat the demon Kali to end this adharmic yuga.

As he is from the Treta Yuga, he is more powerful than the warriors of the Dwapara Yuga and could end the war in a few days, single-handedly. But destiny has it that he shouldn't engage in the Great War and instead increase his power for the final battle with Kali. till then, he is meditating and increasing his power in the Dwapar and this Yuga.

bheem engaged in the Kurukshetra war against the Kauravas in the Dwapar Yuga. he met Hanuman during his vanavaas and gained his trust for the support during the war. Hanuman, being of the same divine birth, agreed to be present with bheem in the war, in an invisible energy form. And to protect Arjuna, he took form in arjunas flag on his chariot.

Why did he take Arjuna's place and not Bheem's is an interesting question. Bheem had vowed to vanquish all 100 kauravas through his physical strength, but Arjuna had a greater role in vanquishing the powerful astras wielded by powerful warriors such as Aswathama, Karna, Drona and Bheesma. If Arjuna was injured and out of action, the Pandava army didn't possess the astras to defeat their enemies. He needed protection from Brahmastra, Bhargavastra, Narayanastra etc. Hence, he took Arjuana's flag instead of bheemas.

If Hanuman was powerful enough to swallow the sun, why did he need a bridge to cross the ocean?

 

Good question. Hanuma is very powerful but not powerful enough to swallow Sun. There is no need or necessity for Hanuma to swallow Sun.

By seeing Full Moon in night, if we think that we can hold it with our two hands and play like a volleyball, it's not our mistake. From here it looks like that. If we go near, we will come to know its actual size.

From earth, in the morning, Hanuma thought that Sun is a fruit as its size is so small.

Here we should understand an interesting thing. Though we thought of playing with moon, can we or any human fly to moon. Hanuma flew to Sun as a boy. Any doubt about his power?.

Regarding construction of bridge to cross the ocean, it's not for him. It's for the entire army and other warriors.

In fact Hanuma requested Sitamma to sit on his shoulders so that he can fly back with Sitamma to Rama in minutes.

Such is his power.

Jai Hanuman.

What weapons did God Shiva give to Ram, Lakshman, Hanuman and Parshuram? How do they work while used in battles?

 1.Lord Ram had the Pashupatastra weapon of Lord Shiva. It is a celestial weapon which can be discharged by the mind, the eyes, words, or a bow. Pashupatastra is capable of destroying creation and vanquishing all beings. The power of the Pashupatastra was such that it was forbidden to be used against lesser enemies or lesser warriors. It is one of the six Mantramukta weapons that cannot be resisted. It was given to him by Sage Vishwamitra who received it directly from Lord Shiva.

As per the scriptures Lord Ram used Pashupatastra which carried the blessing of Lord Shiva against Lord Shiva after the Ashwamedha Yagna (that one who will use this weapon will never be defeated) as he was ordered by Lord Shiva himself.

(The aforesaid is not there in the Ramayan written by Sage Valmiki)

Arjun did years of rigorous penance and pleased by Arjun, Lord Shiva granted him an irresistible weapon Pashupatastra which he received directly from Lord Shiva as per Mahabharata Varna , Vana Parva, Chapter 3, but Arjun never used the said astra.

2. Lord Parshuram was a great devotee of Lord Shiva and after a long penance he received a Parshu (a weapon) from Lord Shiva as a boon thus the name Parshuram was given to him. Lord Shiva also taught him warfare.

Lord Parshuram killed all the male Kshatriyas on the earth 21 successive times with his Parshu. Lord Parshuram also clipped the thousand arms of Kartavirya Arjuna(Sahasrarjun), one by one, with his Parshu and killed him.

3. Lord Hanuman was blessed by Lord Shiva assuring him safety with a Kavaj (band) that would protect him for life. He also got the boon of longevity, scriptural wisdom from Lord Shiva.

4. Laxman used various weapons in his war with Meghnad( Ravan’s son). He used Varunaastra which Meghnaad failed. He used Sauryaastra to neutralize Meghnaad’s Aagneyastra . Then Lakshman had to use powerful weapon named Maheshwar astra to stop Meghnad’s asur weapon (Shoots a really fast fiery beam). Maheswar astra is the weapon of Lord Shiva.

Meghnad was eventually killed when Lakshman used Indrastra (An Astra of Lord Indra, It would bring about a 'shower' of arrows, like rain, from the sky).
