A Micro-Blog from Swami Vimokshananda – earlier at Durban, Singapore and Dublin – now at Yelagiri Hills, Tamil Nadu, India – "A private diary for public consumption!"
Whoever thinks of Sri Hanumanji will be stunned by his supreme powers of valour intellect and devotion to His Ishta.
This is comparable to Swamiji and his guru SriRamakrishna.
Hence Swamiji puts …Goshpathicha vaarasam machaki krita rakshasam so nicely in arati song Khandana bhava… Then Swamiji, the Hanuman of Sri Thakur, has done Mahavir‘s image at the entrance of Belur Math!

Om Namo Bhagavate Ramakrishnaya
Revered and dear Maharaj,
Please accept my pranam.
I wish I were there in Malaysia to listen to your talk on Hanumanji.
He is called as ‘Buddhimadam Varishtam‘ (‘wisest among astute men’, as translated by Rajaji).
In the chapter in ‘Chakravarti tirumagan‘ which is titled as the above, Rajaji describes beautifully the thought process that goes on in the mind of Hanuman as to how to present himself before Sita and instill faith in her without disturbing the hostile neighbourhood. After deciding his course of action, he prays to Sita Herself mentally with moist eyes to accept his genuineness and starts reciting in a low voice in the most enchanting manner the story of Rama. He would recite for a while and then pause to study the reaction of Sita and finding no adverse reaction would proceed once again. The ensuing dialogue between him and Sita is indeed wonderful.
How much reverence Swamiji had for Hanumanji. He pays glorious tributes to him thus:
“As on the one hand Hanuman represents the ideal of service, so on the other hand he represents leonine courage, striking the whole world with awe. He has not the least hesitation in sacrificing his life for the good of Rama. A supreme indifference to everything except the service of Rama, even to the attainment of the status of Brahma and Shiva, the great World – gods! Only the carrying out of Shri Rama’s best is the one vow of this life! Such whole – hearted devotion is wanted.”
With pranam,
