Description

On the auspicious occasion of Hanuman Jayanti today, we say a few words about Tapasvī Rāja from a Tantrik point of view. Since Hanuman, the Son of the Wind, is Prāna embodied, we say a few words about the Five Faced Hanuman with regards to the five types of prāna. Then, we talk about siddhis, yogic powers and how Hanuman embodies the proper use and place of siddhis in genuine spiritual life. Most of all, we discuss our ideal of Bhakti: devotion from a place of strength and fullness and not from a place of fear or lack which Hanuman exemplifies perfectly. Here we make a few notes as to how one might attain this state of perfected Bhakti. The most interesting part of this talk to me though is the comparison we make between Hanuman and Swami Vivekanandaji. We close it all of with a rendition of Tulsi Das' Hanuman Chaleesa by our beloved Satyaji.  Jai Mahavīraji ki Jai! Support the show
