Anjaneya & Hanuman [same]

[Guest guest]

Sri Dharma Dev, thank you for your educational message but may I digress

with a few parts. Please note this is not a debate but rather to assist

friends in gaining a better understanding who come from differrent

backgrounds and traditional religious lineages:

The Mother is the Shakti. When a person honors the Mother as well as the

Son, the potency is stronger. This mantra is further enhanced by Shakti

aspect. Kinda also like paying respects to elders before younger

people. Rank and file in a sense.

Not so becos both are honored at same time, Deva and Devi.

 

Is best to refer to Lord Hanuman as Lord

Agree absolutely for persons who feel attuned to doing this way.

 

by addressing Lord Hanuman as Lord Ajaneya one is only appealing to the

son by way of the Mother.

 

When Son is appealed to by way of Mother or Shakti, the Shakti supports

and empowers the mantra even more. Shakti is Omnipresent and Pervades

all realms.

Again agree, but only for those who are inclined or attuned to chanting

this particular mantra. If one wants more potency and only wants to

appeal to the Deva aspect, then the adding of Aum at the end of this

mantra will empower it further too.

Gum and Gam are technically traditionally correct, yet wrong. But then

there is no right or wrong if the chanter recites with sincere devotion.

Gum, Gum, Gum as in pronunciation "chewing gum" means "Grief, Grief,

Grief" when spoken verbally. In verbal pronunciation, correct sound is

GuNg. In silent chanting "Gum or Gam" are fine. Imagine someone who

goes "Om Gum (Grief) Ganapataye Namaha" -- the person therefore is

asking Ganapthi to bring grief, instead of removing obstacles. This is

why some people say they get no results but more strife in their lives

after praying to Lord Ganapathi )

With all due respect, no debate here, not debating here. Just to share

a few tidbits: Every person has the right to see what he or she wants

to see or believe in. We all respect one another's beliefs and

religious backgrounds. I sincerely respect yours too. But chanting to

Hanuman as Anjaneya does not leave out all His other aspects, it

empowers all those other aspects instead.

Devas would not come into existence without the efforts of Devis.

Mothers (Shakti or Devi) are the ones who gave birth (existence) to

Devas. Hence there is also no Shiva without Shakti. Its kinda like

Shiva is Rudraksh and the electromagnetic properties are Shakti, the

"subtle life force".

Thanks sincerely for saying there is always room for other

understanding. That's where I'm coming from: "other understanding".

 

Ommmmm
