Batik - Hanuman

Product Description

Hanuman, the mighty ape, is one of the most popular idols in the Hindu pantheon. He is believed to be an avatar of Lord Shiva, and is worshiped as a symbol of physical strength, perseverance and devotion.

Here is depicted in prayer, with his gada or mace on the floor next to him. The mace is to symbolise that his warrior spirit is active. The thread around Lord Hanuman's neck is a symbol of Divine radiance.

The character of Hanuman teaches us of the unlimited power that lies unused within each one of us. Hanuman directed all his energies towards the worship of Lord Rama, and his undying devotion made him such that he became free from all physical fatigue. Hanuman's only desire was to go on serving Rama, and this was his reward for his never ceasing worship. His greatness lies in his complete merger with his Lord, which also formed the base of his genial qualities.
