Sankat Te Hanuman Churaavay

Simon Sinek in his presentation at

TED

talked about the way great people behave... He told about a fundamental difference between successful and un-successful people. He said, successful people think - act and communicate in same direction. They act...as per they think..and their communication is in synchronization with their act and thoughts. Unsuccessful people think about something...but they dont act according to what they think and their communication is absolutely different than what they think and act.

The world has accepted the fact that 89% of the issues at workplace and personal life, is because of poor communication. Hence simon said that one need to make sure that their thoughts, acts and communication are in the same line, going on same way. Thats not only a professionalism but an art of life.

Look what tulsidas said in verse 26 of hanuman chalisa.... Sankat se hanuman chhudave, man karm vachan dhyan jo lave...

Sankat ..means issues. Hanuman will not come to you and solve your problems. If you are facing trouble, you have to work yourself. Hanuman can show you the path, and the path is...bringing awareness about your thoughts, deeds and communication - make sure that they are in one direction....direction of your goal...your vision.

So if you are really worried on your failures...your troubles.... Hanuman has opened up the gate of possibilities to you... you can walk on that path....provided you commit yourself....you will make sure that your thoughts - acts and communication follows the same direction.

　

Because of notorious nature of Lord Hanuman in Child, a saint had cursed him that he will forget all his strengths and power, unless someone reminds him. A time came when Ravana - the evil took Sita, Wife of Lord Rama, and it was essential to deliver the message to Sita that Ram will come and fight with Ravana. Hanuman was the only person, who can fly on sea, go to lanka, find sita and give message. However, Hanuman had forgotten the powers. Jambuvan (The bear)

reminded him the powers, and hanuman flied to lanka and gave a message to Sita.

Stories are metaphor, the message is important. Each individual is borne with unlimited powers, zeal of enthusiasm and unending abilities to adapt things. As a child, when you learned to walk, you might have fall down many times...... Research of USA says, on an average child falls down 1200 times before it learn to walk independently. Just think a little.... without a formal education, without any experience... you learned the art of walking.. which seems a task with a great difficulties...!!! You learned it....because you are bestowed with the unlimited power...unending adaptability...unleashed enthusiasm. Failure and pain was the two elements who taught you to learn. A permanent learning is never a pleasurable task.

Clarity of goal, awareness of your power, your strength and a feeling of gratitude (that whatever you are doing...is nothing but a blessing of god)..lead you to such an impossible task... and these ingredients will help you not only to achieve the task (the way hanuman achieved it) but also feel victorious.

Who can remind you about your powers...??? It could be your Guru (Teacher), the person whom you respect a lot, parents, spouse, or it could be you. You learned the great task, with no education..no experience....like walking, speaking the language you speak today etc..... If at this stage, you feel that things are difficult .... you cant do it.... you dont have strengths.... Sit and think... is this a reality or its your belief that you cant do it? Next time, when you go to meet Lord Hanuman and chant Hanuman Chalisa.... when chanting this verse... Remember that... Lord Hanuman is reminding you about your powers, your strengths, your enthusiasm which you have lost in order to grow to adult. Hope you will listen the voice of Hanuman...giving you a WAKE UP CALL..!!!
