Hanuman Philosophy ~ Bite 1

The more I dive into Hanuman the more there is.  It feels too difficult to summarize the philosophy of Hanuman in one blog post so I've decided to deliver tastes to make it easier to digest.

What I'm sharing today, and a lot of what I'll share, is based on my understanding of the stories shared by Douglas Brooks - http://www.rajanaka.com/.

Hanuman is the form of desire.  He is always willing to change but has a reputation for holding fast.  There is an image of Hanuman ripping open his heart - opening to courage.  It is a gentle heart that is filled with ferocity!

The best you can do is become yourself!  What is it that you want to make your own?  What is it that you value?  Receiving the gift of who you are is the beginning of yoga.  

You are the seed and what you plant in your field becomes the fruit that you will ultimately taste.
