Need for Bhakti of Lord Hanumanta


Sadguru Shree Aniruddha has said this many a time, the journey of every person on the Bhaktimarg (path of devotion), each step of his on this path is put forth only as per the guidance of Lord Hanumanta.
Shree Hanumanta himself holds every Shraddhavan by the finger and walks him or her through the Bhaktimarg - thus, the bhakti (devotion) of Lord Hanumanta proves to be essential. Shree Hanumanta, among the Panchguru (five gurus) of Shree Aniruddha, is His Rakshakguru (The guru who protects).  


Great saint Tulsidas has described the Sankatmochan Hanuman in the Hanuman Chalisa as, ‘Naasai rog hare sab peera | Jo sumirai Hanumat Balbira’ (Hanumanta, the mighty rids all the diseases and miseries of those, who remember him). The best way of doing devotion or even stepping onto the path of bhakti by holding His finger, is by performing the Ashwattha Maruti Poojan. The month of Shravan(Hindu calendar month) is considered very auspicious for performing ‘Vrat (devotional resolve) and Pooja (worship)’ in the Indian Vedic culture. The Shree Ashwattha Maruti Poojan, is thus conducted in Shravan which is a reverential submission to the Hanumant, who makes the journey of a devotee on the Bhakti marg possible. It is indeed a blessing that we get to revere the ‘Ashwattha’ tree while praying to Shree Hanumant, who holds the position of a guru. The reason behind this resides in the significance of the tree.
