Lessons for Life

When the Vanaras realised they would not be able to cross the ocean to find Sita Devi, they were in a pickle. Jambavan reminded Hanuman of his actual powers and potential as he stood patiently in this scenario. He lauded Hanuman, saying, “Arise, oh Hanuman, you are the Sankata Mochana, the remover of perils, sufferings, and barriers, jump across this wide ocean, your escape velocity is unrivalled by any other entity”.

Hanuman chose to go to Lanka at that point, having recognized and been reminded of all of his powers. Lord Hanuman, as a Vanara (monkey), represents man’s lower self, which believes and acts as he is nothing more than a body with limitations. When Jambavan reminds him of who he is and what his strengths are, he connects with the higher self and then serves and works for mankind’s saviour.

Then Jambavanta expresses his desire to engage Lord Rama (in a battle), and Rama responds, “Jambavanta, your wish will undoubtedly be granted in my next avatar as Lord Krishna, and you will have a battle with me.” Jambavanta was a woodland cave dweller who was constantly meditating on Lord Rama. Jambavanta was a renowned warrior and devotee who was fortunate enough to see two Lord Vishnu incarnations, Lord Rama and Lord Krishna!! Truth Triumphs The central message of the Ramayana is that evil, no matter how powerful, will always be vanquished by Good.

The triumph of virtue over evil is an unavoidable outcome. A noble heart and excellent ideals should always be present in a person. Encourage to face challenges When the time came to cross the ocean in quest of Maa Sita, Jamavanth told him that only Hanuman is capable of doing so, and reminded him that he was born of Vayu and had extraordinary skills.
