Sri Hanuman - Part-4





On going through the Sundara Kanda, we can observe that the whole Sundara kanda extols the greatness of Sri Hanuma. 

We can also notice that in the entire Kishkinda Kanda and in Yuddha Kanda, Sri Hanuma acts at the orders of Sri Rama, Sugreeva, Jambavanta, and will not show his strength unnecessarily, give unsolicited advice, acts on his own.  

He remains in the side lines, working either under Sugreeva or Angada, as the case may be till then.   When everybody got exhausted and felt helpless, as Angada even went to the extent of resorting to fast unto death, he started showing his real strength.   

In Sundara Kanda alone, from the moment he starts from the Vanara-s troop till his coming back to them, he shows extraordinary wisdom, strength, celerity, fearlessness, his absolute control over senses, etc, as the entire responsibility of finding the whereabouts of Seeta had been kept on his shoulders.

His capacity to increase/decrease his body stature, indicating his attaining SIDDHIS (Yogic powers), can be seen in SUNDARA KANDA.  His incisive thinking, while scrutinising the sleeping women in Lanka, with steady mind and without having any inauspicious thoughts will be known to us. 

The diplomatic way in which he approaches Seeta, speaks with her, convinces her, the swiftness with which he eliminates many Raakshasas, the speed with which he perplexes even the great warrior like Indrajit, etc, can be seen in this Kanda.
