“Laaye Sanjeevani Lakhan Jiyae, Sri Raghubir Harashi Ur Laye”- You carried the Sanjeevani (medicine) and saved Lakshmana’s life. Rejoiced Raghubir (Rama) embraced you (Hanuman).
These lines from the popular Hanuman Chalisa (40 or Chalisa spells in his praise) celebrate Lord Hanuman’s lifting of the Dronagiri mountain on which the Sanjeevani herb grows, an act that has become synonymous with his unbounded benevolence and readiness to salvage the souls who are in trouble. An ode to the all-powerful son of Maa Anjani, this Sri Hanuman white marble statue oozes divine valor, fearlessness, and gravity that is spell-binding.
Like a snow-capped, humongous mountain, this white marble Lord Hanuman statue glistens. Hanumanji is adorned with royal ornaments of pure gold that magnify the aura of his majestic presence. Skills of the maker are witnessed in the attire of this Lord Hanuman statue- the purple scarf that appears to be flying briskly and the softness of fabric felt in the knot of his waistcloth bear witness to the mastery of the sculptor over his craft. Lord Hanuman stands in the glorious alidha posture, (a formidable pose used in the statues of warrior gods and goddesses) carrying his Gada or mace in one hand and the Dronagiri in the other. The musculature visible in his legs, the curling of his long tail in the background, and the manner in which he lifts the mountain bring to this marble Hanuman statue a blissful dynamism- as if the great Lord has only taken a halt in this icon, and at any moment with a powerful leap, will restart his journey. The herb Sanjeevani which is centric to this Hanuman statue’s idea also represents the life-affirming powers over which Lord Hanuman has a complete sway. Compassion on his face and the powers to protect lives in his hand, Lord Hanuman is the most valiant yet kind Hindu divinity, ever ready to rescue those who call his name.
