Hanuman Batik Wall Hanging - 32"x44"

In the days before written history, the great god Shiva was with his consort Parvati. They were watching the chaos humanity was creating. Shiva was not pleased with what he saw. Mother Parvati said, “What they need to learn about is humility.” Shiva listened to her wise counsel and decided to incarnate as an animal. He chose to be a monkey because it was the least feared animal at that time. And so Hanuman came into being.Hanuman’s story is lovingly told in the “Ramayana.” The tale is ancient and for many years Hanuman’s story was handed down orally. Now we have written scripture to read and study. We can learn from Hanuman’s exploits world-wide and in many languages. The translation by William Buck is particularly easy for Westerners to follow. The “Ramayana” is a famous inspirational book, helping you to face worldly challenges and giving you ideas on how to overcome your difficulties.

Hanuman’s favorite colors are red and green, both used effectively on our lovely batik wall hanging. Hanuman is the Lord of kindness and love and it is said that whoever meditates on Lord Hanuman will feel safe and secure in life. He is also the god of service, compassion and humility. When you ask Hanuman for humility and kindness, you are setting the stage for happiness and joy to enter into your life. –
