Brings Hanuman to Uttarakhand |

Construction of Temples & Ashrams in Uttarakhand and Other
Places
There has been a great majority of Shaktas and Shaivaites in
Uttarakhand. There are some Vaishnavas also, but there were mostly the
Shakti Peeth and the temples of Lord Shiva. The number of Hanuman
temples was negligible. The worshippers of Hanuman were very few.
Although Ramayana was read and Ram Lila was enacted during Dussera in
autumn, but Hanuman was regarded as one of the leaders of the army of
monkeys and as a messenger of Rama.
Babaji, who was endowed with the supernatural power of will and who was
an incarnation of Hanuman, the eleventh aspect - Rudra of Shiva, became
determined to build Hanuman temples in Uttarakhand.
But, prior to it, he had to create an awakening for Hanuman in the
heart of each and every individual. For this purpose Babaji inspired
people to read non-stop Ramayana, particularly the Sunderkand and
Hanuman Chalissa individually as well as collectively. Besides this
outward religious performance, he transmitted in the heart of people
faith, reverence, love and devotion for Hanumanji by his will power. |
