Hanuman is known for his great devotion to Lord Rama (an incarnation of Lord Vishnu) and is a symbol of strength and energy. Through his will alone Hanuman is able to offset mountains, such is his power.
Once, his devotion to Lord Rama was put in question, he tore his chest open with both hands to show that Rama and his consort Sita dwell in his heart; each cell within Hanuman resonates the name of Lord Rama.
It is said that if you place one of Hanuman's hairs by your ear, you will hear the constant resonating of the name Rama, Rama, Rama...forever
Here is a short meditation Swami Vishwananda gave to us:
-
Focus your attention on your heart. Concentrate entirely on it.
-
Slowly inhale and exhale .
-
Concentrate on your heart Chakra - the Anahata Chakra.
-
Go deeper and deeper into it
-
When thoughts come, dont identify yourself with them
- Allow those thoughts to pass by like the wind passes by you - let it pass on
- Maintain your conentration on the heart chakra.
-
Feel the love, joy and happiness that emenates from it, feel the heat from deep within you.
-
Allow that to radiate throughout your body.
-
The whole body is an expresssion of this powerful divine light and love.
-
You simply are - and just enjoy this love.
-
You are completely penetrated by it.
-
You feel happy, a happiness like never before.
-
Anything that enters your mind at this point has no meaning.
-
Allow yourself to fall deeper and deeper into the now.
-
Stay for at least 5 minutes in this state of meditation.
