Hanuman: Long Time Campanion

Ask the Spiritual Explorer

Dear Spiritual Explorer: I am looking for a wall hanging for my baby’s room that is of a spiritual nature. Can you suggest one? Laura L., Manhasset, VA

Dear Laura: The Hanuman Batik Wall Hanging in Ma’s India is very special. As Hanuman ambles along while holding the earth in one hand and a mighty discus to ward off evil in the other hand, he yet appears playful and jovial. In fact, Hanuman appears totally childlike in this wall hanging with his good natured innocence and confidence. If I had a baby, I would love my child to look upon this cheery countenance.

Hanuman Batik

As your child gets older and perhaps the crib disappears, the Hanuman hanging is still relevant, but this time you can amuse your child with abundant stories of Hanuman’s exploits and mischievousness as a child. In his teenage years having been entertained by stories of Hanuman through his child years, your child is sure to enjoy Hanuman’s further adventures as a teenager and then finally his entrée into his grown up years as humble and inspirational god. Many times parents paint or decorate their children’s rooms with many objects to instill curiosity or to improve their knowledge. But how wonderful is it to continually convey to your child wonderful qualities of bravery, humility, service and kindness to a child such as epitomized with this great God Hanuman.

Hanuman’s birth is celebrated on the full moon of April with the festival of Hanuman Jayante. This can be an important celebration in your child’s life also as you also revere this great God Hanuman.

I love the idea of this wall hanging portraying Hanuman as your child’s companion through his formative years. What a wonderful idea! Thanks for writing. Spiritual Explorer
