"Iman" Faith Hanuman Art Print
CONCEPT:
In Hinduism, Lord Hanuman is known as the protector, most strong (his image is found in gyms across India), one with ultimate faith. Represents not only physical strength, but the strength of the heart/mind through selfless love, faith, and devotion.
He faithfully served/ loved Lord Rama without wanting/asking for anything in return.
The word IMAN (face/face shape) “nun” letter worked out for the “Namam” mark on the forehead, “U” shape represents Lord Vishnu’s feet, the middle mark is Lakshmi (prosperity) his wife. Lord Rama is the 7th incarnation of Lord Vishnu to earth.
Hanuman never left the earth. Tulasidas (15thC Saint/Poet) wrote the Hanuman Chalisa 40 verses in praise of Hanuman after realizing that an old man who used to come to his
lectures was Lord Hanuman!
Lesson: Always be kind/compassionate to everyone, anyone could be Hanuman!
Hinduism is NOT MYTHOLOGY, irks me Hindu stories are called “mythology”, while other faiths it’s accepted their central figures lived on earth, those stories are not considered “myths". Hinduism has no historical founder and is the oldest living faith tradition in the world with so many unique ways of thinking, practicing, living, so fascinating, always something new to discover/learn!
Hanuman lived, in BC times during the Ramayana (Important Hindu scripture), and there’s archeological evidence of a bridge between India and Sri Lanka.
Hindu scriptures state he’s from the “VANARA” race, a race of forest-dwelling people, perhaps they had different physical features, who knows, mistranslations occur all the time and it became “monkey".
Red Color: (Sindoor) Hanuman asked Mother Sita why she marks her forehead with red powder, she says “to pray for a long life for Lord Rama”, he coats his entire body in red powder saying “May my Lord Rama live forever!” represents love/devotion.
