Conversations with Hanuman

It was Hanuman Jayanti so we decided to ask about a topic on which we could connect with Hanuman energy. We wanted to get messages about our fears and how to be fearless. As usual we started with our mantras first. The energies of our group have reached a certain level because of which with the commencement of our mantras, the energy rises preparing us to go higher and higher. Continous Ohms further strengthened the energy and took us deep. After doing a Shakti mantra, we mentally entered our Temple of the Inner Voice.

Vani : There I asked my guide to tell me about fear and fearlessness, and she gave me a very beautiful message. "The world is full of fear at this point in your time. If you could see the world’s aura it is a mirror of pollution. Grey patches are everywhere. It ripples with fear all the time."
As she said that I could see grey and unpleasant ripples going right through the earth.

"Red patches of stress, anger and frustration are everywhere. Though you are in the midst of the grey sea you must not fall prey to it. Your group (and others) must float like a bright sunlit island on the murky waters. Do not be afraid. Ask for safety and it will always be yours."

Vani then tried to connect to Hanuman. She saw him huge and as a very commanding presence. He gave her a reassuring message. "When you want courage or strength call on me and I will provide it. My mythic story is also yours. As a race you must burn your own dark city and rescue your own pure essence.
You must cross the great ocean to progress on your path. Keep going and call for help whenever you need it. Know that no call goes unanswered. Whatever you ask for is already yours."

Khushmin:
After we started our meditation I directly felt as if I had reached Lanka Nagri. There I saw Hanuman towering over me in all his finery. I was with my guide when he started talking to us about his visit to Lanka Nagri and the maya he created when they wanted to capture him. She could see that entire era wherein people were trying to catch him and the way in which he tricked them and escaped.

Khushmin could see a vast ocean with high waves and could smell the sea air. “Fear is your own creation. It is Maya. There are people and Divine powers are always surrounding them. He said that there were situations in his life which were not easy, but when he started sorting them out, they just fell in place.
Khushmin was then informed about her guides to always think positive and not of the worst position. Have a positive intention and ‘mission’ to do it in the best possible way. As Divine Powers are always surrounding the world, nothing unwanted can happen. Things not good are wished by human beings and they then happen.

Khushmin had to be strong and believe in the great power like him that surrounds everything and all will work out smoothly.


Veena: I was told to have complete faith and trust in one self and there would be nothing to fear.
"Fear sets in due to lack of confidence. So work upon that. Every tomorrow will be a better today. Go ahead and do whatever you desire. My blessings are with all of you in the group."

Ragini: We did a round of continues Oms during which I heard ohms resonating in the background. This time I saw Ma Saraswati playing the veena in a very joyful tempo. I saw big forms of Hanuman, 1st with Sumeru Parbat on his back & then a majestic one with him opening out his chest.
When I asked him what to do to be fearless, He said, "Just be you & have faith.’’ After that He said,"You do the Hanuman Chalisa( 40 verses in praise of Lord Hanuman written by Saint Tulsidas) everyday. I am pleased with you. I will always be there.’’ When I thanked him, He said, "It is my pleasure child.’’ When hugged him & said, I love you, he put his hand on my head, which I felt in the physical sense too & said, "Me too. I love all my children. Only they don’t acknowledge me.’’ Then he said. "Take care.’’ & was gone. When I wished He had stayed longer, He said, ‘‘You don’t need me in my physical form. I am there in spirit always. Just concentrate. Concentrate on me & I will be there.’’ Even though it was brief, there was a feeling of full satisfaction at the end of it. I felt that today the I energy is very high & open.

Niranjan:
When Niranjan entered the Temple of the Inner Voice he saw Devi Saraswati divide into Durga and other devis and surround him from all sides. He felt the Shkti they emanated. Cool breeze as in an open space was felt by him . He saw a shivling shaped temple with a huge havan at the base. He then saw the light and started getting messages.

Felt suffused by a deep indigo light.
"Life is just another test. Fear is like a hurdle. He saw a hurdle before him. Only the more you hesitate, the higher it grows. You can outgrow (saw a colossus figure) and surmount it or you can destroy it (saw very powerful slashing actions). "How? By finding yourself from writing spiritually and achieving immense power and security within yourself." .He felt that and felt almost warrior-like.

The message for the group was to partake this spiritual light.

Tara: After going in the Temple of our Inner Voice and paying homage to the deities there, I saw Lord Hanuman stand tall at the left of Goddess Kali who stands as the main deity at the alter. I asked him what fear was.
“When you are unable to live & unable to feel. That is what you call as fear. There is no such thing as fear. We (man) have made it up. If you think it is fear then it so it will be.

If you want to be fearless, ask yourself what it you fear is. Why do you fear? Find the answer. That is your solution. Pray. Take the Lord’s name. Have more faith. Think big
(he swelled up), think huge (he became bigger), think large (he became huge).
Do not fear.

I asked him what bravery was.
"When you do not fear, then you become what is called bravery. Go hanuman is with you."
When Tara thanked him, she asked for a message for the group but he said nothing. She was wondering why it was so. She felt this huge warmth spreading from her heart to her entire body and she felt warm and good from within. Her palms felt hot as if they were radiating lots of energy. Having a glimpse of Hanuman in his true form, made her feel much loved and she was pleased with the connection that she could have.

Vir: "Fear is outcome of lack of knowledge for truth, true knowledge and wisdom, trust the same and keep faith on it, be confident for whatever is the truth and fearlessness will come from that confidence."
Suddenly I saw Hanumanji (with white beard) showing presence of bhagwan Ram in his heart by opening his chest, then bhagwan Ram turns into Bhagwan Vishnu - smiling, tells trust and faith on divine god in your life, with true knowledge will make one fearless, free from fear. Trust and faith will make you confident & fearless. There was beautiful fragrance in the temple. I then saw Arihant Shankheshwar Parswanath Bhagwan in the temple turning very radiating bright powerful light.

Krishna Kali: As we connect to our guides, I see a towering statue of Lord Hanuman on bended knee, opening his chest. It’s a beautiful white temple with lots of diyas and flowers. The whole place is filled with a mild yellow and golden light. As I ask him what fear is, he replies,
“Fear is for the meek, but fear is not always bad. Many a times people have stopped doing something that is wrong for the fear of God, that fear is not wrong.

Fearlessness should be a part of yourself, your being. Learn to break free, to explore. Being true to yourself is being fearless. You are who you are and the truth doesn’t stay hidden for a long time.”

Later when the group was sharing messages, a lot of similarities were found. Everyone had connected to Hanuman and had felt his strong presence. Even those who felt no pull to Hanuman and who had planned only to connect to their guides had found themselves talking to Hanuman.

A couple of other class members had asked for a message for the group and Hanuman had not answered them. Simply because he had already given me the message for the group, to Vani.

If you are reading this page, this message is especially for you, so take note of it.

"KNOW THAT NO CALL GOES UNANSWERED. WHATEVER YOU ASK FOR IS ALREADY YOURS."

We got chosen by our books!


We eagerly met for the very first time and connected very briefly to our guides. After the first session itself we were told by Vani,our 'guide'to get a book to record all the messages, visuals and any other knowledge that we received.We were also told to paste a sacred picture of our choice on the cover of the book.This task so simple and small in itself had such interesting incidents to narrate and reflect back on.Here's what we experienced:

For Vani,it was a lovely mauve notebook with floating flowers on the cover.The picture that she got was one of the goddess Saraswati,Durga from the Durga prayers and Lalita from the Lalita sahasranaam books that she had distributed to all in the group.The message which she received was the Saraswati mantra, aim and the Om saraswatyai namah.So that was a powerful start in itself.
Manijeh:Looked around for a while and then was attracted to a light purple cover with some waves in yellow and green that appealed to her.Her guides told her what to write on the first page and she believes that we have started the voyages through our own resources.
Khushmin had this lovely book with a photo of goddess Lakshmi on it which somehow she could
not use no matter how many times she attempted to do so.She came to realise that it was meant for a special purpose. However, when a book had to be brought, she at once thought of this book and connected to it.She felt this was the moment she was waiting for.She had not yet thought about the photo but when Vani distributed the photos in class, she felt this was the best thing she could paste on the cover.As a habit she has placed an Om and a swastik on the sides as she connects to both as universal blessings and has a Trishul on the last page for protection.
Gayatri's book literally walked upto her.The cover of her book has the image of a palm and a title which reads 'secrets from your hands.'She had picked up the same book at a bookstore
and kept it back since she not was not too sure about it and hoped to pick up something better later.She then asked a friend to get her a book from another store and lo and behold the same book not only from another bookstore but from a completely different locality landed in her lap.The connection with the book was already made the very first time, only Gayatri had to recognise it.She put an Om and a sign ( star like ) in a square.
When Veena picked up the book,it was the sun, moon and stars on the cover that attracted her
to the book.She likes Working with energy received from the cosmos. It has always interested
her and so she felt some connection with those forms.She got a message to write Om on the
first page and then a mantra of her ishtadevata which would stand for a symbol of protection
that appealed to her.
Ragini another member of our group, had already got a message from her guides before our
sessions had even commenced that she was going to do auto writing & she told them that she
would not be doing it alone.The book had been presented to her when she had gone to
Vaishnodevi some time ago for a pilgrimage.The book that chose her,has a picture of Lord
Ram, his wife Goddess Sita & his brother Laxman, in a scene from the Ramayan,in which
Goddess Sita points out to Lord Ram the golden deer she wants him to get for her. The beauty
of the cover & all the articles in the book of the leaders of all the religions of the world, made her keep the book for something special.2 days prior to the commencement of our sessions the book came into her hands once again making her wonder what would she be using it for. Little did she know that that had already been decided.She put the Trishul on all 4 sides of the book as a protection symbol.By the message that she got, she has putan Om on both sides with ‘‘ JAI MATA DI’’ written in the middle of the Oms. She pasted Goddess Saraswati, the Goddess of learning on the front page of her book.She also keeps her favourite picture of Lord Shiva, Goddess Parvati & Lord Ganesh.
Niranjan had no clue of the book that he was going to buy. He landed in a shop that he had never visited before and straight went to a bookshelf. He saw the book and picked up two.The hard cover of the book is handmade and has embossed motifs on it.The one with the white cover,has been kept for himself as it symbolises peace for him. The pink one he chose for Tara which symbolises love.He had not decided on the sticker for the cover when Vani gave him the sticker.That was promptly stuck on the cover. He got another Saraswati sticker from Vani which has been stuck on the back page.He has come to realise that more such photos now keep coming which he places inside the book.He has a large om on the front cover symbolising a beginning and the bottom right hand corner swastik makes it more complete.He felt the need to write his name and the date as well.
Tara wanted a hand made paper book but was just not having the time to go and get one for
herself.However, unasked the book came to her with the kind of colour she would have liked
and with it's hand- made cover.Simple in itself.She had forgotten to get the sticker but guess the place was reserved for Vani's sticker.So Goddess Saraswati on the lotus and another tiny one are on the cover of her book.A tiny sarswati mantra sticker is stuck on top as well. She got another laminated sticker from Manijeh that she has placed on the first page of her book.She got the message to write first two words of a prayer and that's exactly what she has written.
Bhavisha had already been using a book to write points from 'The Book of Secrets'by Osho.She
felt the need to continue writing in the same book and she continues to do so.She felt that a diya had to be drawn on the first page and so that's where her diya is.

All of us have our own role to play and all of us have something to impart.You will find the first messages that we received for ourselves,others in the group and for the universe in general in our next post. Yes we believe in starting with ourselves. If we are fine, then eveything can be fine. Work begins at home you see.
