Hanuman

Hanuman is the son of Vayu, the wind. He is an incarnation of Rudra, the transformative form of Shiva and is the greatest devotee of Rama. He has a big chin as he had mastered jalandhara bandha, which gives master over vayu tattva, air. This is why he can fly and take big leaps. He is one of the ashta cheeranjevees, meaning that he is one of the eight Gods that are alive in all four yugas.

He is brahmacharya as he conquered all his senses. All energy and input that come through his senses transfer into spiritual light. He is very brave, honest, truthful and established on his duty. He performs his duty without any distraction. All his energy is in service of the higher consciousness, without ever being worried about Himself. 

Through japa and meditation of Hanuman, any disease can be cured and any obstacle can be overcome. All that matters is one’s bhakti, devotion. Devotion can destroy any external effect. Any obstacle can be overcome by the remembrance of Hanuman. Hanuman is still alive as one of the cheeranjevees. Whenever his chants are recited, He is always present to listen to His stories and adventures.

The existence of Hanuman is an abidance to the divine will. He has complete acceptance and surrender to the higher consciousness.
Hanuman is the true tantrik as he remains in his inner bhava of surrender without any bias for anyone and anything except the self ( Shree Ram) He is the yogi of a great order as he remains seated in the atma alone, never waivering from this location. Hanumana is also the greatest jnani as he sees everything in the Advaita bhava (Shivoham, I am shiva). Everywhere He looks, he sees only Rama. And indeed he is the greatest Bhakta too as his devotion is selfless and pure to Shree Ram.

Through meditation on Hanuman, we may become even a fraction of Hanuman consciousness and not stop short at worshipping him only as a deity, but rather become the tantrik, Yogi, jnani and bhakta that he embodies.

“Lord Ram gave Hanuman a quizzical look and said, "What are you, a monkey or a man?" Hanuman bowed his head reverently, folded his hands and said, "When I do not know who I am, I serve You and when I do know who I am, You and I are One.” - Tulsidas

"To whom shall I speak about it? For there is no one who will understand. The reality about the chord of love that binds you and me, is known to my soul alone; and my soul ever abides with you. Know this to be the essence of my love." - Hanuman, Sunderkand, Ramayana
