Hanumantha Vahanam Depicts Saranagata Bhakti

Tirumala, 18 September 2018: On the sixth day morning, the Sri Malayappa Swamy took celestial ride on His humble and noble devotee, Hanumantha Vahana on Tuesday.

IMPORTANCE

With regard to character, strength and ability, Hanuman was far superior to even humans. His surrender to the divine cause and his devotion to Lord Rama was unique, exemplary and unconditional. Even today devotees say that wherever the name of Lord Rama is chanted or mentioned, this sacred being would be present there listening to the chanting of his name and absorbed in his thoughts.

SYMBOL OF PURE DEVOTION

Lord Hanuman symbolically stands for pure devotion, complete surrender(saranagati) and absence of ego. His character tells us what we can do in our lives by becoming pure.

By taking pride ride on Hanumantha Vahana, the Lord sends a message to His devotees that any body can attain divinity if they are noble in their deeds and surrender to Him with true devotion.
