This is the Bestest book on Hanuman I had ever read. I love it! Everything in this book shows what Hanuman is all about. It is a must read for anyone wanting to know everything about Hanuman.Jai Ma!
Hanuman, the hero of the Ramayana, exemplifies devotion and service as a method of spiritual evolution. Hanuman, the perfect servant of God, a guiding light to help us see through the haze of our ego and pride.
I love this book! It includes everything regarding Hanuman.The author takes you right to the action of the Ramayana and beyond. It's a great work that leaves you with thirst to read and learn more of the Hindu mythology. Greatly recomended!
I hadn't particularly intended to read the Ramayana, but Vanamali's lovely book took me through it - focusing of its selfless hero, Hanuman. This is a wonderful telling of the story and so many curious aspects are included, most valuablly the esoteric inner meanings of some of the demons that Hanuman and Rama are up against. E.g. that Kumbakarna is "tamas" (sloth) embodied while Ravana represents the insatiable appetite of "rajas"(passion/addiction).It's also interesting that sections are according to the Valmiki original that aren't popularly told in India. This book is a treat for those who would like to understand all the characters from the Ramayana - the demons, the heroes - and of course especially for those who would like to understand Lord Hanuman better.(Please Vanamali - put more of your books on Kindle!)
I am so pleased I got this book. It tells the tale of Hanuman in service to Ram when the demon king Ravana kidnapped Ram's consort, Sita. The story is meant to convey how, like Sita, we are separated from the Divine ground of our being by the passions and misunderstandings of our small ego (Ravana) and how we are reconnected by love and devotion, qualities which Hanuman embodies. Hanuman is the link between our physical being and our Divine being, and that connection is always at work to bring conscious awareness to our lives.As a devotee of Hanuman, I recommend this retelling of the story, found in the Ramayana. It is easy to read and helps open the heart of true seekers, which is what these stories were always meant to do. Enjoy.
this book, like others written by the author, mixes both story and spiritual teachings to convey the basic message of Hanuman's story. I've found this book, as well as others by this author, to help the reader find the substance to the "teachings" which are often hidden within more convoluted tellings by doing so in a very human, and caring way.of Vanamali's books, this is my favorite for personal reasons, but overall, for those wishing to learn the meaning behind the stories, Vanamali does a really good job, and I wholeheartedly recommend her books to people who are curious about the various topics which Vanamali has covered in her books.
Another of Vanamali`s books that I have greatly enjoyed reading! It filled me for love a d reverence for Hanuman as never before . Varanasi goes beyond the superficial giving a look and feel for the divine! Jai Hanuman!
A devout, engaging retelling of Hanuman's life and adventures. Highly recommended to devotees and those just learning about this powerful, generous god who lived the life of a perfect devotee.
