​Lord Hanuman- mere words are not enough to describe his greatness

Lord Hanuman is a revered figure in Hindu mythology, celebrated for his unwavering devotion to Lord Rama, his strength, courage, and wisdom.

As a divine incarnation and a prominent devotee of Lord Rama, Hanuman was blessed with numerous supernatural abilities that allowed him to accomplish incredible feats.

​Among these blessings are the eight siddhis, or mystical powers, which set Hanuman apart as an extraordinary deity.

​Lord Hanuman had these eight siddhis

Let us explore these eight siddhis and their significance in Hanuman's life.

1. Anima: The power of Anima allowed Hanuman to reduce his size to that of an atom, enabling him to navigate through the tightest spaces with ease. This ability came in handy during his search for Sita, as he could discreetly enter Lanka and remain undetected by the demons.

2. Mahima: In contrast to Anima, Mahima granted Hanuman the ability to increase his size to gigantic proportions. This power played a crucial role in various episodes of the Ramayana, such as when Hanuman lifted the Dronagiri mountain to fetch the Sanjeevani herb or when he expanded his size to intimidate the demons in Lanka.

3. Garima: With the siddhi of Garima, Hanuman could increase his weight to become as heavy as he desired. This power allowed him to withstand strong adversaries and remain unyielding in the face of tremendous force.

4. Laghima: The power of Laghima enabled Hanuman to become as light as a feather, defying the force of gravity. This ability allowed him to leap vast distances effortlessly, such as when he jumped across the ocean to reach Lanka in search of Sita.

5. Prapti: The siddhi of Prapti granted Hanuman the ability to instantly obtain any object he desired, regardless of distance. This power allowed him to fulfill his duties as a devoted servant of Lord Rama, ensuring that he could overcome any obstacle and accomplish any task.

6. Prakamya: The power of Prakamya provided Hanuman with the ability to perceive and understand the true nature of things. This profound insight enabled him to make wise decisions, even in the most challenging circumstances.

7. Ishitva: With the siddhi of Ishitva, Hanuman could control and manipulate the natural elements, including fire, water, air, and earth. This ability proved invaluable in various instances, such as when he extinguished his burning tail after the demons from Lanka, set it on fire.

8. Vashitva: The power of Vashitva allowed Hanuman to exert control over other beings, including humans, animals, and celestial beings. This power enabled him to rally troops, command their allegiance, and influence others to support his cause.

​In summary

The eight siddhis that Lord Hanuman possessed demonstrate his extraordinary capabilities and his role as a divine figure in Hindu mythology.

These powers, combined with his unwavering devotion and loyalty to Lord Rama, make Hanuman a revered and beloved deity, inspiring generations of devotees with his feats of strength, wisdom, and love.

    Vedic Culture, which   is the culture of the original Himalayan Masters,    is one of the most advanced ancient civilizations.  It is a tradition which has given mankind several treasures such Yoga, Meditation, Conscious-Living and Vedic Sciences such as Ayurveda, Vedic Physics & Vedic Mathematics.

    It was always a scientific culture that understood the very mechanics and workings of this Universe. Their deities, their gods and goddesses were all a way of expressing and explaining these energies and their inter-working. Modern Quantum Mechanics is just starting to understand string theory, dark matter etc. which have all been fundamental to the Vedic understanding. Because of this, they developed ways and methods which allowed one to best tap into life-energy itself.

    Vedic Culture, as it was practiced by the Himalayan Masters, was always a "way of life" and not a religion.

    Their basic view was that, there is only ONE Supreme God-head (God as our creator) and each one of us can find our path to it- experience union with that divinity (Yoga) in their own way.

    Because of this, anyone with any religious affiliations and beliefs can still benefit from their knowledgeable ways of Vedic Wisdom.

    Our attempt here is to present this ancient wisdom in a modern light, so our readers can interpret the true, essential meaning more easily and then extrapolate it to their own specific scenarios and enhance the quality of their life and being-ness.
