00:00What does Hanumanji represent?
00:02Almost animal-like innocence.
00:04It's a reason he is represented as Vanar.
00:07Now the historic person who would have actually assisted Ram
00:14was obviously not a monkey.
00:16But the representation is that of a Vanar.
00:21And there is a great reason behind that.
00:23What you are showing is that here is someone uncorrupted by all social influences.
00:32Just as animals are.
00:34Animals may not have an enlightened mind.
00:38But they also don't have a perverted mind.
00:42In that sense and to highlight that aspect,
00:46Hanuman is represented as a Vanar.
00:48Yet he is not a social being.
00:50Not at all social.
00:51He does a lot of things that the society would probably not look favourably at.
00:57Would you like someone who for example blows away your power station?
01:03That's what Hanuman does.
01:04He goes and gobbles the sun itself.
01:07That's in today's terms akin to a brash teenager blowing up the power plant.
01:15And all the energy is gone.
01:17And he doesn't marry.
01:18Society doesn't quite like that, does he?
01:20Doesn't care for rules.
01:22Before he puts Lanka to fire.
01:25What does he do with all the fruits?
01:27First of all he satisfied himself with all the fruits.
01:33Goes with his physique.
01:34It's a beautiful combination of lot of virtues.
01:37But you have to decode.
01:40And if you are not deciphering the symbolism correctly,
01:44then you are just misreading the message or not reading the message at all.
01:48And let's do our best for sure you have to get into our story.
01:50I'll see you in the next couple of minutes.
01:50Okay, once again, thanks again.
01:51So you will be able to move every one day.
01:51So you will be able to get into it.
01:51And it's just going to be able to have time.
