Lord Hanuman Still Alive, Lives On Gandmadan Mountain!

By Pandit Ram Swamy (Guest Writer)

Lord Hanuman is considered an ideal of force, power, energy, wisdom, service and devotion to God. That is why in religious scriptures, he is also called as Sakalgunnidhan. Simply put, Lord Hanuman is immortal.

In Shri Hanuman Chalisa, Goswami Tulsidas has written - 'Charo Jug Pratap Tumhara, Hai Prasidh Jagat Ujiara’. 

It is clear from this line that Lord Hanuman has been present as a troubleshooter in every age in some form or the other to protect the universe. These things about Lord Hanuman create people’s faith and reverence in him.
Satyuga: Lord Hanuman is believed to be the avatar of Lord Shiva. It is believed that in Satyuga, Lord Hanuman took the form of Rudra for the welfare of the world.

Tretayuga: In this era, Lord Hanuman is understood to be the ideal of devotion service and dedication. In this era, the world was being protected by Lord Vishnu’s avatar Rama and Lord Shiva’s Avatar Hanuman.

Dwapar Yuga: In this era, Hanuman appeared in the form of Nar and Narayan and remained with Krishna and Arjun in Mahabharat war. It is symbolic that Lord Hanuman was present in this era as the protector of religion.

Kalyuga: As per mythological beliefs, Lord Hanuman’s residence in this era is on Gandmadan Mountain (presently near Rameshvaram Dham). Not just that, it is believed that whenever anywhere people recall Lord Rama, Hanuman is present, but invisible to humans.

Scriptures have been written in praise of their properties saying- यत्र-यत्र रघुनाथकीर्तनं तत्र-तत्र कृत मस्तकांजलिं’. In every age the remembrance of Srihanuman individually created as a troubleshooter with the world powers are Ubarte from troubles.
