Sri Hanuman Chaalisa | Reservoir of Management Wisdom :: Part1
India is the Land of Knowledge which has deep reservoirs of Supreme knowledge of both this world and the Metaphysical realms, showing the true path of Self-Realization,which is the final goal of life. With Modern Management principles evolving around us, there may be some hidden treasures which can be unearthed from the Ancient Sanatan Dharma Texts and Epics.
Sri Hanuman Chaalisa is a treatise by Goswami Sri Tulsidas inked during BHAKTI Yuga, written in the glory of Sri Hanumanji, encapsulating various qualities and personality traits. This 40 versed (Chaalisa) starts with glorification and culminates into complete surrender of a student to his Guru.
As a student of Modern education with sanskars of ancient wisdom, it struck to the blogger of relating the contemporary thought with the Oriental philosophy and finding lessons for life which are capable enough of improving the quality of life.
This is first episode from the series which shall try to cover all the verses of this litrary marvel.
The Chaalisa starts with opening verse of Glorification of Sri Guru Maharaj, and Hanumanji,
श्री गुरु चरण सरोज रज , निज मन मुकुरू सुधारि |बरनउँ रघुवर विमल जस,जो दायक फल चारि ||
बुद्धिहीन तनु जानि के, सुमिरौ पवन कुमार | बल बुधि विद्या देहु मोहि,हरौं कलेश विकार ||
All Obeisances at the Feet of my Revered Master, sand of
Whose feet is so pure and sanctified, using which I decorate myself and correct my
mind. Singing the Glories of Sri
RamChandra ji, Who is the crown jewel of RAGHUKUL, I shall attain the nectar of four Purusharthas
namely Dharma( True Knowledge and Wisdom), Artha (Material objects) , Kaam
(Getting all desirable things) &
Moksha(Self Realization).
Being a person without any intelligence, I remember You,
Sri Hanumanji, and seek your blessings to give me Energy, Intelligence and Knowledge,
which shall help me bail out from my problems and distractions.
१. जय हनुमान ज्ञान गुण सागर | जय कपीश तिहुँ लोक उजागर ||
रामदूत अतुलित बल धामा | अंजनी पुत्र पवनसुत नामा ||
भावार्थ : हे हनुमान जी ! आप समस्त गुणों के समुद्र हैं , और ज्ञान के भण्डार हैं, आपकी सदा ही जय हो | हे वानरों के राजा ! आपके समस्त सद्गुण संपूर्ण विश्व और तीनों लोकों में प्रसिद्ध हैं | आप श्री रामचन्द्र जी के सन्देश वाहक हैं , और अपरिमित बलवान हैं , जिसका परिचय आपके जन्म से मिलता है, अर्थात वायुदेवता के आशीर्वाद से आपका सम्बन्ध है |
Management Connect:
A person in his life becomes
famous because of his deeds and actions which are either intrinsic to him or
have been developed over a period of time. The real knowledge or complete know
how comes only when someone really does things with utmost focus and attention.
After having such lineage and an immaculate track record of consistent
performance, only then a person is rewarded with acts which are far more Confidential,Strategic and have far fetching consequences. This is indicated
here in the word 'रामदूत', i.e. Sri Ram thought of entrusting Sri Hanumanji of sending him to Lanka in search of Mata Seetaji .
Such person has to be well versed in all types of studies/ knowledge viz. ज्ञान,गुण, बल which comes from either family or by training or upbringing as is indicated by the word पवनसुत = Son of वायुदेवता, who is considered as one of the strongest of all demigods, while mother Anjani has been specifically mentioned to indicate the fact that she was able to inherit and give good sanskar to her son. Sanskars, which are so good that he was able to receive education from none other than but Suryadev , who is the most enlightened being in the entire cosmos.This has been confirmed by Lord Sri Krishna in Srimad Bhagvad Gita,where He says that the most confidential knowledge was first imparted to "Sun God" by Himself only.
Sri Hanumanji has been referred to as KAPISH, meaning King of Monkey Clan. Monkeys are generally very spry, agile and fickle-minded. Lording over such a community requires certain physical and mental qualities, such as Self Restrain,being a good listener in times of dispute settlement or otherwise. Organizing such scattered energy and focusing the same towards a larger common objective is what modern management scientists and line managers must imbibe.
These and other similar qualities are what makes Sri Hanumanji famous in Three Realms(Tihun Lok), namely Paatal Lok, Prithvi Lok and Swarg Lok. The actions of a modern manager are observed by all (Seniors and Juniors).
Good Natured personnels who accomplish their tasks perfectly, and are able to take everyone along, are hailed by everyone across the hierarchy which is indicated by the THREE LOKs(Realms).
Thus, its important to have the Knowledge of your domain, and must be able to not allow the energy to fizzle out on actions arising out of momentary impulses, but to channelize the energy to achieve the higher objective in life.
