Why didn't Hanuman himself rescue Sita when he met her in Ashok Vatika?

 This whole incident is mentioned in Sundarkand and such beautiful discussions between Maa Sita and Hanuman Ji makes it actually “Sundar”.

During Hanuman ji meeting with Maa Sita in Ashok Vatika,

Maa Sita asked: Son, How did you reach Lanka ?

Hanuman ji Replied: By God Grace of Lord Ram, your son has potential to fly and with same the same power, i have crossed sea to reach Lanka. And, Mata i have seen how you are tortured in Lanka. Maa please come with me, i will take you safely to Shri Ram.

Maa Sita replied: Son, I have full faith in your capabilities but because of two major reason I will not come with you.

First, I am pativarta so I will never touch other man with my own wish, Ravan touched me forcefully and now he will get punishment of the same.

Second, we are suryavanshi and if I come with you my son then people will raise fingers towards Rama and his reputation will be on stake, people will think that he could not protect me from Ravan. And, I don't want that because of me people raise finger towards Shri Ram. Son, i can not come with you but you take my jewelary to show this to Shri Ram and tell him that i am waiting for him.

Such beautiful conversations makes Sundarkand very very special.

Jai Siya Ram 🙏

Why was Hanuman called "Maru" by Lord Rama?

 Lord Hanuman is the son of Vayu Deva, the Wind God. Marut means Wind, and Maruti means “of the wind”, in this case it means “Son of the Wind”

Therefore Lord Hanuman is called Maruti.

Why he is called Hanuman as per scriptures

While still a baby, Hanumanji , the son of the wind god, tried to fly up and grab the Sun, which he mistook for a fruit. Indra, the king of the Gods, struck Hanumanji with a thunderbolt on the jaw (hanu), to stop Hanumanji. Thus he became known as Hanuman.

His original name is Anjaniputra ( his mothers name is Anjani) or Keshari Nandan ( his fathers name is Keshari).

How powerful of a god was Hanuman?

Lord Hanuman , the epitome of power, purity and piety, is a living deity.

Kheda Hanuman : This is an ancient Hanuman shrine is situated in Ujjain.

This small shrine known for its miraculous powers is located next to a road.

It is visited by many devotees throughout the year.

Miracle : Well, local municipal authorities wanted to remove this shrine for a road.

Thus, government engineers and workers tried hard to remove the main idol.

Even JCB , multiple cranes could not move idol even a fraction of an inch.

Despite their best efforts , the main idol remained immovable.

Monkeys : Strangely, more than fifty monkeys (including Langurs) arrived out of no where.

They suddenly occupied the temple roof.

They stayed there until the JCB , cranes and municipal authorities finally left the shrine.

Later on , municipal authorities and devotees covered the Hanuman idol with a tent.

Fact : Lord Hanuman ji is widely known as the epitome of pure Bhakti and immense Shakti.

Prayer : Sri Ganeshaya Namah Sri Ram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram Namo Parvatipataye Har Har Mahadev

How was Hanuman born according to Siva Purna?

 HARE KRISHNA

I will write here everything regarding BHAGWAN SHRI HANUMANJI written in SHIV MAHAPURANA.

1.) HANUMANJI is direct biological son of SUPREME GOD MAHAKAAL himself and was born from his divine semen/energy. The spatarishis collected that divine semen and poured it in the ears of MATA ANJANI and thus HANUMANJI was born and is direct biological son of SUPREME LORD MAHESWARA himself.

As if hit by the arrows of Cupid, Śiva let fall his semen dislodged from its seat, for Rāma’s work.Eagerly urged by him mentally for Rāma’s work, the seven celestial sages retained that semen in a leaf.For Rāma’s work that semen was poured through the ears of Anjani, the daughter of Gautama, by those sages. In due course Śiva was born of it in the form of a monkey named Hanūmat. He had great strength and exploit.

~SHIV MAHAPURANA satarudra samhita chapter 20

2.)Being son of SUPRME GOD MAHADEVA,HE possessed infinite strength and ate the SUN even as an infant and released it on repeated request of all DEVAS. They all gave him many boons too knowing him to be ansha of MAHAKAAL himself.

Even as a child the lord of monkeys, Hanūmat was very powerful. Early in the morning he took the disc of the sun for a small fruit and ate it At the request of the gods he left it. Knowing him to be an incarnation of Śiva of great power the gods and the sages granted him boons.

~SHIV MAHAPURANA satarudra samhita chapter 20

3.)HANUMANJI, The son of LORD SHIVA MADE LORD RAMA and LAKSHMANJI happy in all respects. He slain mahiravan and brought back LORD RAMA and LAKSHMANJI from patallok.

He slew the demon Mahīrāvaṇa and brought Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa from his place to their own after guarding them well.

~SHIV MAHAPURANA satarudra samhita chapter 20

4.)He is called as store house of infinite strength in SHIV MAHAPURANA and also calles untiring and indefatigable. He defeated ravan along with his family members and all followers. ( same instance is present in valmiki RAMAYANA YUDDH KANDA SARGA 59 also where HANUMANJI crushed ravan and made him unconscious by a single slap and made ravan vomit torrents of blood from all his 10 heads,nose,eyes,ears,arms). He made all GODS happy by defeating ravan.

The lordly son of Śiva made Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa happy in every respect. He protected the entire army.The untiring indefatigable monkey destroyed and defeated Rāvaṇa, his family and his followers. The monkey, the storehouse of infinite strength made the gods happy.

~SHIV MAHAPURANA satarudra samhita chapter 20

5.)He learnt all scriptures and knowledge from LORD SOORYANARAYANA without any strain and on orders of SOORYADEV, he helped SUGREEV in every aspect by becoming his minister despite being infinite times stronger,and in

Highly delighted he approached his mother and eagerly told her everything in her behest the bold monkey went to the sun every day and learnt all lore from the sun without any strain.The excellent monkey, a part of Śiva approached Sugriva, a part of the sun, at his behest, after getting the permission of his mother.Sugrīva who had been exiled by his elder brother Bali who enjoyed his (Sugrīva’s) wife, stayed on the mountain Rsyamuka long with Hanūmat.The intelligent monkey born of a part of Śiva became Sugrīva’s minister and did everything beneficial to him in every respect.


~SHIV MAHAPURANA satarudra samhita chapter 20

6.)He burnt whole lanka in front of ravan,meghnat,atikaay, etc and killed more than half army of ravan.He alone protected entire army of LORD RAMA and brought sanjeevni herb to revive LAKSHMANJI.

the monkey, a part of Śiva himself, jumped about and making that a pretext burnt the city of Laṅkā. After burning Laṅkā except the mansion of Bibhishana the heroic leader of monkeys jumped into the ocean. Thereby extinguishing the fire from his tail he reached the other shore. Not at all tired or grieved the monkey born of a part of Śiva approached Rāma.The rapid and excellent monkey Hanūmat reached Rāma’s side without delay and handed over the crest-jewel of Sita.At his behest, the powerful hero, gathered many mountains through the hosts of monkeys and built a bridge in the ocean.At the time when he was about to cross the ocean, Rāma installed a phallic image of Śiva and worshipped it with a desire to be victorious.Securing his boon of victory, he crossed the ocean, surrounded Laṅkā with the monkeys and fought against the Rākṣasas.The heroic Hanūmat slew many Asuras and protected Rāma’s army. He enlivened Laksmana by the medicinal herb Sanjivani when he was wounded by Meghnada’s javelin.

~SHIV MAHAPURANA satarudra samhita chapter 20

7.)He went to lanka (which was never crossed by anyone before even by all 33 gods) and searched MATA SITA had killed lakhs of demons in lanka including 80,000 kinkara demons, all guards of lanka and ashok vatika, jambumali and his armies, 7 sons of prahasta and their armies, 5 army generals of ravan ( virupaksh,yupaksh,durdhar,praghasa,bhasakarna) and their armies, akshay kumar along with his army. , He burnt entire lanka.

On knowing that she was in Lanka.the leading monkey quickly jumped across the ocean, never before crossed by any and reached Laṅkā.There he performed wonderful exploits and handed over the excellent token of recognition of his lord Rāma to Sītā.Narrating the endeavours of Rāma for the protection of her life, the heroic leader of monkeys dispelled the sorrow of Sītā.Taking a token from her he turned back to go towards Rāma. On the way he broke Rāvaṇa’s park and killed many Rakshas. At the same time he killed Rāvaṇa’s son also along with many Rākṣasas. That fearless monkey of great exploits wrought a havoc there.

~SHIV MAHAPURANA satarudra samhita chapter 20

8.) HANUMANJI carried out the tasks of LORD RAMA by all means. He made all asuras bow down and submit.He is destroyer of arrogance of all Daityas and uplifter of devotees.HANUMANJI is called LORD RAMA'S messenger ,and life saviour of LAKSHMANJI.and he is favourably disposed to his devotees.He is slayer of all daityas.

The leading monkey quickly carried out the tasks of Rāma by all means, made the Asuras bow down and submit and performed various sports.Himself a leader of devotees, he made Sītā and Rāma happy. He, the lord of monkeys, established the cult of devotion to Rāma in the world.Indeed he was the Incarnation of Śiva the lord and uplifter of devotees.

He is favourably disposed to his devotees. He is the slayer of Daityas.

~SHIV MAHAPURANA satarudra samhita chapter 20

9.) This story of BHAGWAN SHRI HANUMANJI is conducive to wealth,fame and longevity. It yields fruits of all desires and it gives liberation.

Thus O dear, the excellent story of Hanūmat has been narrated to you. It is conducive to wealth, fame and longevity. It yields the fruits of all desires. He who listens to this or narrates this with devotion and purity of mind enjoys all desires here and attains liberation hereafter.

~SHIV MAHAPURANA satarudra samhita chapter 20

10.) In eulogies and glories of Supreme Lord Shiva, all the gods addressed the fact Lord Shiva is Lord Rama Among the weilders of weapons, and he is Lord Hanuman among Vanaras.

Among all Adityas you are Vāsudeva; among the monkeys you are Hanumat; among the sacrifices you are Japayajna: among the weapon-bearers you are Rama: Among the Gandharvas you are Citraratha ; among the Vasus you are certainly the fire; among the months you are the intercalary month; among the holy rites you are the Caturdaśī rite.

~Shiv Mahapurana,Rudrasamhita,yuddhkhanda chapter 2

This clearly indicates that Lord Rama is the best in all welders of weapons and Lord Hanuman is the strongest warrior of Lord Rama's army. Lord Hanuman is indeed strongest warrior in whole epic Ramayana after Lord Rama and Mother Seeta.

Why is Hanuman Ansh generating interest among mythology movie fans?

Hanuman Ansh (2026) is based on Baba Neem Karoli , an ardent Hanuman devotee.

But, he never claimed to be Lord Hanuman.

Devotee : Baba Neem Karoli Maharaj was an ardent devotee of Lord Hanuman.

He left his home in his teen and became a wandering mendicant.

His intense devotion pleased Lord Hanuman who blessed him with pure Ram Bhakti.

Mystic : Maharaj ji was known for his Vak Siddhi (truthfulness).

His prophecies turned out to be true. He was known for his acute power of clairvoyance.

Neem Karoli Maharaj was often in meditative trance chanting Ram Ram for hours.

Simple : Though born in a rich landowner family , he remained simple and humble.

He never allowed his family members , acquaintances and devotees to misuse his name.

Well, he was often clad in blanket , dhoti , ate simple food and lived like a householder saint.

Maharaj ji generally lived at Kainchi ashram, Uttarakhand and Vrindavan ashram , Uttar Pradesh.

Drama : Like any Bollywood movie, this biopic has an element of melodrama.

It makes strange claims that can’t be verified.

Maharaj ji never disclosed about his Guru , Akhara and Guru Bhai to anyone.

Well, no movie or actor can truly depict a real mystic and a great devotee.

Truth : Neem Karoli Maharaj ,a ardent devotee, never claimed to be Hanuman ji.

He always asked devotees to worship Hanuman ji first and chant Ram Naam.

Facts : Many devotees credit Ram Dass for spreading message of Maharaj ji across the world.

Many also credit Siddhi Ma , for maintaining Kainchi Ashram of her beloved Guru.

Movie is a simple way to depict a great mystic, the epitome of simplicity, sagacity and spirituality.

Well, movie tries hard to depict Maharaj ji as Sri Hanuman ji.

Note : Audience is simply watching it for Maharaj ji and nothing else.

Prayer : Sri Ganeshaya Namah Sri Ram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram Namo Parvatipataye Har Har Mahadev Jai Jai Jai Hanuman Gosai KripaKaro Gurudev Ki Nai

According to Ramayana, how old was Hanuman ji, while he is also mentioned in the Mahabharata?

 Hanumanji was also of Lord Ram’s age in Ramayan which happened in Treta Yug.

The story of Lord Hanuman is as under:-

As per Ananda Ramayana, the “payasam” which the wives of Dasharatha had eaten to bear children, some part was carried away by Vayudev (the Wind god) and Anjana consumed it, thereby giving birth to Hanuman. So Lord Hanuman is about the same age of Lord Ram.

( please note that there are different stories of how Lord Hanuman was born)

As Lord Hanuman is Chiranjeevi, he is there in all the Yugas. In Mahabharat, Lord Hanuman’s age was as below:-

As per scriptures

Lord Hanuman was born in the 24th Treta Yuga ( at the end of Treta Yuga).

TRETA YUGA: 1,296,000 yrs (thrice of Kalyug)

1296000\24 ( there were 24 periods in Treta Yug) =54,000 yrs for one period

As Lord Hanuman was born in the last period (24 th period )of Treta Yug he was about 54,000 yrs old at the end of Treta Yug).

Dwapar Yug : 864,000 years ( twice of Kalyug)

Dwapar Yug ends when Lord Krishna left this world . Lord Hanuman was there in Dwapar Yug.

54,000 ( period of the 24th Treta Yug)+ 864000 ( period of full dwapar yug)=9,18,000 yrs . Hamumanji was 9,18,000 yrs old at the end of Dwapar Yug.

Kalyug : 432,000 years

Kalyug in 2022 has about 426,877 years left . Therefore, we are living in the 5123 yr of Kalyug.

So in 2022 Lord Hanuman who is still living in Kalyug is about 9,23,123 yrs old ( as per the calculation below)

54,000 ( period of the 24th Treta Yug)+ 864000 ( period of full Dwapar Yug) + ( 432,000- 426877 +5123)+5123 = 9,23,123 yrs old.

(All the aforesaid are assumed as per the figures mentioned in the scriptures and all are approximate figures)

Was Vali actually stronger than both Ravana and Hanuman combined?

 Definitely not. Vali defeating Ravana is an interpolation and a later addition. I'm not sure why people even believe it . It's almost impossible for Vali to defeat either Ravana or kumbhakarna let alone Hanuman who’s physical strength is equal to Vishnu and Shiva.

The arrows which Rama used to kill Vali and dried up the oceans had little effect on Ravana

  • ‘These were the shafts by the help of which I slew Marica, Khara, and Dushana as also Viradha in the Krauncha Wood and Kabandha in the Dandaka Forest; these were the shafts wherewith I transfixed the Sala Trees and the mountains and Bali and with which I agitated the ocean! All these weapons found their target, how is it that they have so little power over Ravana?’

Rama used infallible arrow of Brahma to kill maricha and khara which has no effect on Ravana armour and his regenerative powers.( Ravana regenerated 100’s of heads in the final encounter) .He used some unknown powerful infallible weapon of Brahma to kill Ravana . Vali on the other died immediately after Rama struck him one arrow

Hanuman was the only warrior besides Rama who was able to go toe to toe with Kumbhakarna. Valmiki clearly mentions that Kumbhakarna was far superior to Khar dushan and Vali . Infact he is far stronger than all the gods combined without any boons

  • ‘Know that I am not Viradha, Kabandha or Khara. Nor am I Vali or Maricha. It is Kumbhakarna who has arrived. Behold my large and terrible club that is completely made out of iron. In earlier times, I have used this to vanquish the gods and the danavas

The deeds of Hanuman was considered as superior to that of any gods including Vishnu and Rudra as per Rama's own statement.

  • The deeds that Hanumat accomplished in the battle are unheard of, even among Kala, Shakra, Vishnu and the lord of treasures

So Hanuman is vastly superior to Vali .
