Acharya Prashant explains that Hanumanji represents a unique combination of virtues, primarily one-pointed devotion and absolute commitment to Shri Ram. He emphasizes that while everyone is committed to something, most people are committed to nonsensical or destructive things. Hanumanji’s commitment is exemplary because he remains untempted by wealth or power, as seen when he rejects the riches of Ravan. The speaker notes that without understanding what these symbols stand for, religious worship becomes futile and degraded. He highlights that virtues like love, strength, and commitment are interconnected and cannot exist in isolation. Furthermore, Acharya Prashant discusses the significance of Hanumanji being represented as a 'vanar' or monkey. This representation signifies an animal-like innocence that is uncorrupted by social influences and perversions. Unlike social beings who are bound by rules, Hanumanji acts with a boisterous and uninhibited nature, such as when he attempts to swallow the sun or destroys the Ashok Vatika. He concludes that one must correctly decode and decipher the symbolism of Hanumanji to understand the profound message he carries, rather than engaging in hollow worship.
