Hanuman, the glorious, speaks

dehabuddhya tu daasosmi
jivabuddhyaa twasdamshakah I
atmabuddhya twamevaham
iti me nischita matih II

(Sri Hanumanji, the greatest devotee of Lord Sri Rama, worshipped his Lord with the attitude of a servant and by the servant-Master attitude, attained such a lofty plane in the spiritual sphere that, when he was once asked by Lord Rama as to who he was, he boldly replied as follows):

"When I identify myself with the body, O Lord, I am Your humble servant. When I identify myself with the individuality, I am a part of you. But when I identify myself with the atman, I am Thyself. This is my firm conviction."

Why adore Hanuman

Constant remembrance and devout adoration of Sri Hanumanji, who is chiranjeevi (who lives eternally, and is immortal), bestows on the votaries all that they need for their welfare, success and happiness: intellectual brilliance and eloquence, glory and excellence, courage and fearlessness, good health and sprightliness, which in fact are the essential ingredients of an ideal and perfect life, as a prelude to the attainment of the summum bonum, viz. the spiritual enlightenment.

sriraamadootam shirasaa namaami II

To the emissary of Lord Rama, the master of his mind, as swift as the wind, who has conquered the unruly senses, supreme among the wise, the son of the wind-god and the chieftain of the simian horde, I bow my head with all humility and offer my salutations.
