Hanuman in Combodia

combodian hanuman
Indonesia also knows about ramayana epic and they know about monkey god anjaneya. Recently some troups played ramayana in their language and they disclosed details about their hanuman.

Cambodian theatre group named ‘Classical troupe of Kingdom Group’ enacted the Cambodian version of the epic Ramayana known as ‘Reamker.’
In Reamker, Lord Rama is known as ‘Preah Ream’ and Ravana is known as ‘Krong Reap.’ Sita is called ‘Neang Seda’ and Lakshman brother of Ram is called ‘Preah Leak.’ The name of Hanuman is the same but with a slightly different pronunciation.
Cambodian group artists enacted the entire epic in a ballet; there were no dialogues in the play. Mostly women performed all the roles in the epic. A woman played the role of Lord Rama.“In our country, Ramayana is very popular, even the children know the main characters like Rama, Sita, Lakshman and Hanuman,” said Hun Tha, a troupe artiste. Cambodian culture has references of Hindu epic Ramayana from the 10 th century AD.

Hero of Ramayana epic

Lord Hanuman is one way hero of ramayana oneway. Hanuman is powerful, intellegent, and highly devotional. Hanuman saved many lives in ramayana epic including rama, lakshmana, sita and bharata. How? He brought the news that sita is alive to rama and that word gave life to rama. secondly when naga astra is applied on rama and lakshmana, both fainted and struggling for life. Then hanuman went and broght garuda which drove off the snakes and saved the life of rama and lakshmana. When lakshmana fainted because of the astra of indrajeet, hanuman flew immidiately to Himalayas and brought the medicinal plants sanjivini which saved the life of lakshmana. When sita was about to hang herself to a tree with her long hair, hanuman sang the glory of rama which gave life and hope to sita . When bharata pledged that he would end his life if rama is not stepping in ayodhya just after the 14 years of vana vasa, hanuman gone to him and informed the arrival of rama which saved the life of bharatha.Thus Hanuman is the life giver and saver to all the important heroes and others in ramayana and destroyer of demons. So Hanuman is much eligible for worship for life and energy. Sanjivani power still remains in his blessing hand. He is praised as lakshmana pranadata, the life giver to lakshmana. So when you are sick or ill, it is very wise to pray to lord hanuman, the dwadasa nama mantra (hanuman anjana sunuhu...). In this sloka or mantra itself it is ascertained that those who recite this mantra will not have the fear of death. That means, no unwarranted , untimely death. Hanuman has a body so hard as a diamond , so he is called vajra kaya, he who has a body like a diamond. All the body builders worship Him for a good body and pure health.

Hindu God Anjaneya


Anjaneya swami is a special God and second to none. This is because he is the avatar of Maha siva (shiva), rudramsa sambhoota. He is given boons by all gods that no weapon or energy will harm Him. More over he is the owner , diety for the most powerful mantra "sri Ram". Thus Hanuman became the most powerful god and also most admired God as he showed the way to all devotees the path of Dasyam (saving the god like a servant). Anjaneya is the owner of Rama rasa and none can enter the rama rajya without anjaneya's permission, as per tulasi das.
Anjaneya is also told that he will be there till the end of this yuga or millineium and after that He would be the creator (brahma) of next millinium. So, people , devotees believe with strong faith that he is still in the banana groves in himalayas of india. If you pray ardently he comes to your help. I believed in this and recited Hanuman chalisa 11 times a day for 40 days and got the most impossible achievement done by Lord anjaneya. Devotees can test this also with faith.
Anjaneya told all that not to use the great powerful mantra or name of Rama for material gains but utilize its power for nirvana, or mukti or liberation. If the devotees have any materialistic needs they can pray to Hanuman or anjaneya so that anjaneya can take care of the needs of the devotees. This is the assurance given by Anjaneya, the monkey God. He is the hero of Ramayana Epic.

Anjaneya Hanuman the Monkey god

lord anjaneya


jai veera Hanuman. Hanuman has other names like maruthi (maruti), kapeendra, anjaneya, hanumanthu. He is the embodiment of rudra amsa ( part of power of Lord shiva). He has the genes and blessings of God Air (vayu). Hanuman is the hero of the great epic Ramayana. Because of lord hanuman, the entire demons, rakshasas were killed by Rama and Lakshmana.
The chapter where entirely hanuman will be hero is called Sundara Kanda ( the beautiful chapter literal translation ). That means , whatever Hanuman does and where ever he goes every thing is Beauty.
The evil spirits, devils are dead scared of anjaneya, the monkey god. His shout itself kills them or drives them away. That is the reason why people remember him when they are afraid. He is guru or master for those who practice celebacy. Some say he is married and others say he is ajanma brahmachari meaning life long celebate. After meeting Rama in kishkinda or rishya mooka hill, Hanuman devoted his entire life, to Rama and his service. Hanuman always meditates in rama and he is slave to rama tatva ( rama theme, philosophy)
