Description

India is a country of people who are mostly religious. A large chunk of the population worships Hanumana. There is no village, town, or city where there are no temples dedicated to Sri Hanuman ji. Truth is that the spirit of Sri Hanuman ji inspires, enlivens, and energizes the lives of a very large number of people. It motivates them to the dedication, piety, and service. Sri Hanuman ji keeps them unwavering on the path of virtue and discipline.

Hanumana ji has imbibed the nectar of devotion for Sri Rama and has ceased to be an entity separate from and independent of Sri Rama. He is the embodiment of the qualities which Sri Rama personifies in himself. For the Hindus, Hanumana personifies the highest level of devotion to Lord Rama, an incarnation of Visnu. That is the reason he is held in such high esteem.

The present work is the result of the translation of selected stories about Sri Hanumana by the late Pandit Atma Ram Sharma. Although the translation is of selected stories only, it makes a coherent and well-connected reading.

The book may be of particular interest to nonresident Indians who are always eager to be emotionally connected with their religious and cultural roots.
