Hanuman

Devotion and Service!

Like Krishna, Rama is an incarnation of Vishnu, whose elevated character and righteous actions inspire humans to divine consciousness.

In liberating Ram's consort Sita from the demon Ravana, (symbol of material

illusion), Rama is greatly aided by the brave monkey general Hanuman. 

Recognizing Godhead beneath the human disguise, Hanuman consecrates himself wholly to service of Rama.  Depicted in a kneeling pose of utter devotion, with soldier's mace and helmet, he symbolized the strength and purity of the Perfect Servant.
