Lord Hanuman: A Legend Still Alive (Part-3)

In previous chapters we got to know about description about Lord Hanuman, In this chapter I will provide you proofs which says Lord is still around and a way to see him.

Let's take a look at some of the indicators which prove Hanuman still exists:

We have heard stories describing the departure of Lord Rama and Lord Krishna from earth but there is no mention of Hanuman's journey to the heavenly abode anywhere in Hindu scriptures.

Hanuman is Chiranjeevi – meaning immortal. He is among the eight noble immortal figures.

The monkey God, about whom we have heard about in Ramayana and Mahabharata is very much around us. We have known about his existence since Treta Yuga that saw the emergence of Lord Rama and then in Dwapar Yuga, the era of Krishna. We are now living in Kalyuga.

Outside most Hanuman Temples (especially the ancient ones) we will find monkeys. This is certainly not a coincidence.

There are even strong evidences to prove that the son of Pawan existed and continues to live but is invisible to human eyes.

Hanuman makes his presence felt whenever and wherever a loyal devotee utters the name of Lord Shri Ram with utmost faith and sincere dedication. A true devotee can feel his presence around.

Let's see further,

Footprints of Lord Hanuman?

Such footprints of Hanuman apparently still exist in all those places where the monkey-god walked. People worship these footprints and have also built small Hanuman temples in the vicinity of the places where such prints are spotted.

Across the ages - Hanuman

The events described in the Ramayana happened in the Treta Yuga. The Mahabharata happened in the Dwapar Yuga and led to the advent of Kali Yuga. We have mythological stories and anecdotes in the Mahabharata describing the meeting of Bhima, the second of the Pandavas and Lord Hanuman. These instances indicate Hanuman was there all through these ages.

In Kali Yuga

A few learned and wise people have reported seeing him. Sage Madhavarcharya was said to have been graced with Lord Hanuman's visit in 13th Century AD. In early 1600s, Lord Hanuman apparently visited Tulsidas and inspired him to write the Hindi Ramayana entitled Ram Charit Mans. Ramadas Swami, Raghavendra Swami, Swami Ramdas and Sri Sathya Sai Baba were all have been said to have got the darshan of Lord Hanuman as well.

Hanuman place of residence?

Want to know where he continues to live? His place of residence is said to be the Gandmadana mountain, near Rameshwaram, in India's Tamil Nadu district. We have a temple built and dedicated to Lord Hanuman in this region. However, it is always said Hanuman resides in all those places where Ram's glory is being sung.

Comes alive when secret mantra of Hanuman is chanted?

God Hanuman has the boon of immortality. He is said to be still alive. It is believed that he lives in jungles of Himalayas. Whenever the mantra of Hanuman is chanted, it is said He manifests in those places to grant His darshan to devotees and fulfill their prayers.

The Mantra is: Kaaltantu Kaarecharanti Enar Marishnu, Nirmukter Kaaletwam Amarishnu. Lord Hanuman Mantra in Hindi - (कालतंतु कारेचरन्ति एनर मरिष्णु , निर्मुक्तेर कालेत्वम अमरिष्णु). Ardent devotees seeking to have the darshan of Hanuman chant this mantra fervently millions of times and finally are blessed with the rare vision of Lord Hanuman.

Two Conditions of Hanuman Mantra

This Mantra is said to work only when the following two conditions are met:

(1) The devotee should be aware of his/her soul's relationship with Lord Hanuman. Hence the chanting of this Hanuman mantra must be accompanied by mediation and contemplation.

(2) It is said that within 980 meters from the place where this Mantra is chanted, there should not be any human being who does not meet condition number one. That means, either there should be no other human being in the range of 980 meters or if there are human beings in this range, they should all meet condition number one, i.e. they should all be aware of their soul's relationship with Lord Hanuman.

This secret Mantra was said to be given by Lord Hanuman himself to some tribals who were living in jungles of Piduru Mountain. Piduru (full name "Piduruthalagala") is the tallest mountain of Sri Lanka. So, we have a lot of instances where the devotees had chanted this mantra and had the vision of Lord Hanuman.

Lord Hanuman in Jungles

Hanuman is also said to have visited the jungles of Lanka from where Ravana's brother Vibhishana was ruling. He spent many days in jungles of Lanka in memory of Lord Ram. At that time some jungle dwellers served Him. In this way, a lot of stories talk about Hanuman treading on the earth and reveling in the glories of Sri Ram.

When he was said to be returning back from there, he gave this Mantra to those jungle dwellers as a blessing in return to their faithful service and said that He would appear in front of the devotees who chant this mantra.

Hanuman said, "I am pleased with your service and dedication towards me. Therefore you can chant this mantra anytime you wish to have my vision and I shall be there to bless you in the speed of lightening." It is because of this, a lot of devotees faithfully chant this mantra in a rigorous way to see Hanuman.

The chief of those tribal community apparently said, "Lord, we will keep this Mantra secret but what if someone else gets this Mantra and starts misusing it?"

Lord Hanuman replied, "Do not worry. This Mantra shall not work if the person who chants it is not aware of his/her soul's relationship with me." This is why we say the person should fulfill the two conditions laid down by Hanuman in order for the mantra to work.

The tribal chief apparently asked, "Lord, You have given us the "Atman Gnan" and therefore we know our soul's relationship with you. We know about our past births and we know where will our souls go after our death. However, Lord Hanuman, we have this following doubt. ��What about our children? It is not possible that they will not have the 'Atman Gnan'. It is not likely that they will know their soul's relationship with you. Therefore we are worried that this mantra might not work for them."

Lord Hanuman blessed them and said, "I promise you that I will come to stay with your community every 41 years and give the Atman Gnan to your future generations too. Till the end of time your community will be able to chant this Mantra and see me anytime." This was the divine assurance Lord Hanuman gave the tribal community and it is believed that till today he is fulfilling this promise.

This tribal community allegedly still lives in a jungle village of Sri Lanka. They have managed to stay disconnected from modern world till now. Nobody knew about their connection with Lord Hanuman until last year when some explorers noticed their "unusual activities" that revealed they are praying to Lord Hanuman. Later they came to know that those "unusual activities" were part of their ceremony called "Charan Pooja" which happens every 41 years when Lord Hanuman comes to visit them.

They were apparently doing those "unusual activities" because Lord Hanuman was with them a few years back in the year 2014. Only they were able to see him. For others he was invisible. Lord Hanuman apparently departed from them on 27th May 2014 after giving Atman Gnan to the new members of their community. Now He will come again after 41 years i.e. in 2055. However they can chant the above Mantra and call Lord Hanuman whenever they want to have his darshan.

Apparently, the head of their community is said to also maintain a logbook in which they note down minute to minute detail of what all Lord Hanuman did while He stayed with them. They record every word spoken by Lord Hanuman and every deed done by him. Details of Lord Hanuman's recent 2014 journey are also said to be recorded in this logbook.

This logbook is now apparently in possession of a spiritual organization called Setu Asia. Setu Masters are trying to decipher this logbook in their Ashram in foothills of Piduru Mountain. However their work has been very slow. In last 6 months or so they have deciphered only three chapters till now. Therefore much is tob e discovered about Hanuman's association with this community based on the researches centered on this log book.

Thousands of devotees across the globe apparently wait for new chapters desperately because every new chapter takes them closer towards fulfilling condition number 1 of this Mantra. Once the condition is fulfilled, a devotee is said to be able to call Lord Hanuman anytime merely by chanting this Mantra. That is why there is a lot of interest among the devotees of Hanuman to go through the different chapters pertaining to Hanuman's visit.

Chapter 1

The Immortal Lord Hanuman arrives: describes how Lord Hanuman was seen on top of Piduru Mountain last year. Lord tells story of past birth of a child who was born from two mothers.

Chapter 2

Hunting Honey with Lord Hanuman: Next day Lord Hanuman goes on a honey hunting trip with the jungle dwellers. What happens there is very thrilling. Hanuman is shown to move closely with the itribal community members and delight them in various ways besides teaching them Atman Gnan in more than one ways.

Chapter 3

Lord Hanuman in web of Time: This is most enlightening chapter. This Sloka's meaning is enshrined in this chapter. For example, when we human beings think of time, we think of a clock. But when Gods think of time, they think of "strings of Time". In this mantra the word "kaal tantu kaarecharanti" means "the one who moves in web of strings of time." Therefore we have a strong evidence to know Hanuman is immortal and lives forever on the earth to bless his devotees.
