Recording of Shri Hanumana Puja at Wamuran Wednesday 9th April 2020

‘But Hanumana is a special deity, a typical deity full of qualities.’

“What to say about Hanumana? The more powerful and wise, he was equally devoted and dedicated. Generally such a powerful person becomes rightsided and considers himself so high that he would not listen to anyone else. But Hanumana is a special deity, a typical deity full of qualities. There was a perfect balance between his devotion and power. How could he achieve this balance is a thing to be understood. In Sahaja Yoga, when we are enlightened, we get many powers. Then we have to keep balance. We love others and with the power of the love, we keep on doing our duties.

Shri Hanumana was very powerful. He had many divine powers in him Navdha, that is Garima, Laghuma etc. He could be as big as he wanted to be and as small as an atom. He had achieved all these powers. Without attaining balance and coming to the central path. Such a powerful person, generally goes crazy.
Each cell of Shri Hanumana’s body was filled with power and devotion. Because of this speciality today we worship Shri Hanumana all over the world.
….
Shri Ganesha and Shri Hanumana are the incarnations of this Divine Wisdom. Shri Hanumana was very powerful and fast and Shri Ganesha is cool-natured. But when required, both are very big hitters. They remain with you every moment. Whenever anyone troubles you, your protectors are there. 
Often you see that security moves with the ministers and VIPs. The security of Sahaja Yogis also moves with them; that is, the security of Ganas. Ganas have many things to do. Ganapati – Shri Ganesha keeps them informed about you as to where is the problem, from where you are getting attacked and troubled. You do not know that if anybody wants to attack you secretly, even then these god’s ganas stand by you. When Shri Ganapati informs about it, Shri Hanumana sets them right. So Sahaja Yogis have no need to be frightened. No need at all to be frightened.
….
What we have to learn from Shri Hanumana is this devotion (Bhakti) and the power that he has given to you. If your devotion is real, then no one dares touch you. No one could touch. There are thousands of examples in Sahaja Yoga. People call them miracles.

But I say that it is no miracle, it is the blessing of Shri Hanumana. So my blessings and love to you all. Love yourself, also love others. Do not confine your love to “my son, my this, my that”. No! love means selfless love – Nirvajya Prem – love that expects no return, love that is not confined to relations only. You have been blessed with such unfathomable power of love. Use it.“
HH Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, Shri Hanumana Puja, 31 March 1999, Pune, India

 ‘So how much He gives us’

But from the matter He goes up to the brain. So, He rises from Swadhishthana up to the brain so, in the brain also He creates the co-relationships of the different sides of our brain. So how much He gives us, I mean, we can say if Ganesha gives us the wisdom, then He gives us the power to think. He protects us also that we should not think of bad things. That is we can say that, that if Ganesha gives us the wisdom, then Shri Hanumana gives us the conscience. I hope you understand the difference between the two. Wisdom is where you do not need conscience so much because you are wise: you know what is good, what is bad. But conscience is needed in a personality where he is to be controlled and that control comes from Shri Hanumana which is the conscience in the human being.

Now, this conscience, which is Shri Hanumana, is the subtle form of Him, which gives us – is in Sanskrit called as satasatvivekabuddhi, means, sat means truth, asat means untruth and viveka means the discrimination and buddhi means the intelligence. So, intelligence to discriminate between the truth and untruth is given to us by Shri Hanumana.

In the Sahaja Yoga system, if we say that Ganesha is the one who gives us, He’s the adyaksha, means He is the, I call Him as the chancellor of the university. He is the one who goes on degree to us, “Now, you have crossed this chakra, that chakra, that chakra.” And He helps us to know that what state we are in. So, the Ganesha gives us say, nirvichara samadhi, which we can call it as the thoughtless awareness, and nirvikalpa samadhi. He gives all that and also He gives us joy.

But the understanding that “this is good, this is for our benevolence” – mental understanding – comes to us from Shri Hanumana. And it’s very important for Western people because it has to be mental otherwise they won’t understand.

If it is not mental they cannot come into abstract, it has to be mental. And so the mental understanding of whether it is good or bad is given to us by Shri Hanumana.

Without Him, even if you become a saint, you will be – of course you are a saint and you will enjoy the saintliness, but whether this saintliness is – all right, if you live on Himalayas, or is all right when you go across to people to give them realization – all the scanning, this vivekabuddhi, all the scanning, all this discrimination, all this guidance, all this protection is given to us by Shri Hanumana.
