**CHENNAI, INDIA (December 28, 2024)** – A recent discourse by Sri Kesava Vajapeya Swamy highlighted the significance of devotion to Lord Hanuman, emphasizing the recitation of the Ramayana and chanting of Sri Rama Nama as the most valuable offerings. Swamy explained that Hanuman, a manifestation of Lord Rudra, bestows blessings of knowledge, valor, fame, fearlessness, and good health in return.

The discourse also touched upon Lord Krishna’s own descriptions of his divine attributes, noting his special fondness for the Tamil month of Margazhi. It was on a new moon day in Margazhi, under the Moolam star, that Hanuman manifested to serve Lord Rama. Even after Lord Rama’s departure, Hanuman chose to remain on Earth to experience the continued recitation of the Ramayana and chanting of Sri Rama Nama, making his presence felt wherever these practices occur. The discourse concluded with a mention of an interesting anecdote regarding Sita and Lakshmana’s perceived envy of Hanuman’s proximity to Lord Rama. The article appeared in The Hindu newspaper’s “Books” section on December 28th, 2024.
