Guest guest Report post Posted January 1, 2003 have u received any replies? Would appreciate if you could share the same...I cannot find it in my archives...thanks.rgds yamini suresh <yamini_suresh@y bhakti-list, ahoo.com> oppiliappan cc: 12/12/02 09:53 Hanuman - ? AM Please respond to Oppiliappan Namo Narayana Is Hanuman an amsam of Shiva? This has been lingering in my mind for a very long time. In the Hanuman Chalisa there is a line that says. 'Shankar suvan kEsari Nandan tEj PratApa MahA Jag Vandan' This suggests that he is an incarnation of Shiva. We also know that Swami Desikan has mentioned that Shiva is one of the devout Bhaktas of Sriman Narayana. As for Rama avataram - the devas are said to have taken different roles of VAnarAs(Monkeys), Pakshis(Birds) etc inorder to enjoy and do Kainkaryanm to the AvatAra Purushan. Can the learned members please clarify? RAmAnuja dAsi Your use of is subject to Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted January 1, 2003 Namo Narayana, Yes I did receive a couple of replies. None of them clear and convincing. Someone just mentioned that he is an Avatar of Shiva. However, I still need to confirm with sources. I am trying to find out from some other learned members and sources on what is mentioned in the Valmiki Ramayana. I will try to find out and once I get a reply I'll surely forward it to you. Ramanuja dasi, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
