Glories of Hanuman

The sacred text of Shri Ramcharitmanas extols the greatness of everyone’s most favorite super-hero, Shri Hanumanji in various ways and glorifies not only the power of Hanumanji but his unmatched humility and unwavering love for Lord Ram.

In this unique book, you are sure to experience the divine fragrance that resides in and through Hanumanji’s personality via Swami Abhedanandaji’s beautiful commentary on some of the most thought-provoking episodes from Ramcharitmanas.

Swamiji starts with the description of the three forms of Hanumanji as Ishwar roop (Faith), Bhakt roop (Inspiration) and Guru roop (Guidance), and gradually glides into an in-depth illustration of how Sugriva was well protected under Hanumanji’s guidance as a Guru. In his assuring words, Swamiji affirms that Guru is the one who has very close proximity, communication, and oneness with the God and therefore he takes the disciple very close to the God.

Moving ahead, Swamiji reveals the secrets of how Mother Sita (Absolute Peace) has to be searched in our lives, and how we should rise above our ahamkaar (ego), and cross the ocean of dehabhimaan, just as Shri Hanumanji did!

Read these transcripts of Swamiji’s mesmerizing talks and call upon Shri Hanuman in your minds, and invoke him to get connected to the all-powerful Lord!

Power of Devi Worship

Mother Nature is powerful, and yet she is so immensely patient. Mother Earth is the most heavy, and yet she is the most compassionate. Mother Ganga can be the most tempestuous and yet she is the most nourishing. They are all forms of the divine Mother Durga. “Devi” – the divine mother Goddess is the ultimate “Shakti” who nourishes every single being and thing in this universe. From the huge Sun to the tiniest atom in this Universe, every single object owes its energy source to this ‘Shakti’ which is the expression of Ma Durga alone. She is the essential force behind everything, but only the wise who realize this subtle truth, who meditate upon this eternal power; are truly capable of seeing the “Devi” behind this “Shakti “.

One of the most potent and elaborate texts which enumerate the glories and the powers of Devi Ma is “Durga Saptahshati”. It contains several assuring stories about how Mother Durga protected her children when attacked by the demons. In this article, we are pleased to share with our readers and devotees some of the salient points from Swamiji’s enlightening talks on “Power of Devi Worship” based on the divine text of Durga Saptashati.

Solitude in the woods with Shri Ram

Undoubtedly Lord Ram is the most venerated and admired character in Hindu philosophy. Despite being born as a royal prince in the most affluent kingdom, and even after being the most powerful, sought after and qualified ruler of his times; he had the depth of character, the ocean of humility and the limitless compassion that endeared him to everyone. Even when he was banished from the kingdom and exiled for fourteen years by his step-mother Kaikeyi, he accepted the command of his parents as a privilege for him to fulfill as their son. With a beaming smile and absolute composure on his face, Shri Ram left for the forest along with his wife Devi Sita and his brother Shri Lakshman. Even in his exile, he saw an opportunity for satsang to revel in the divine company of great saints and sages living in the forests.

This portion of Lord Shri Ram’s wandering in the forests and his interactions with saints and sages is described extensively by Goswami Tulasidas Ji as “Aranya Kand” in his masterpiece composition Shri Ramcharitmanas. We are pleased to share with you some inspirational snippets and thought provoking points from Swami Abhedanandaji’s talks.
