About the Name
Rama, the Ideal Man.
One of the avatars of the Hindu God Vishnu, Lord Sri Rama is God himself, since He has been born as a human, and yet showed how righteous and brave a person can be, if only they practice.
Sita, the Ideal Woman.
Sita is the avatar of Goddess Mother Lakshmi, the consort of Lord Vishnu. When Her husband chose exile to keep His promise, she considered His presence as the ultimate protection and left for the forest. She was later abducted by the disgusting, king of all demons and cowards alike, Ravana.
Hanuman, the Ideal and Ultimate Devotee.
Bantu means servant. Duta means messenger. The messenger and loyal servant of Rama was the brave Hanuman (aka. Maruti, Anjaneya, Ramabantu, Ramaduta, etc.). He is an incarnation of Lord Siva. Lord Hanuman, in the name of righteousness, searched for Mother Sita in extreme enemy territory, found her, persuaded and motivated her, returned victorious. It is said that the first words Hanuman told Rama were “Saw Her,” or those very close in effect. Lord Rama wasn’t in a state to pay attention to more than one word, and was replenished on “saw.” So, Lord Hanuman, master of language, grammer, and expression, is considered the foremost scholar in these areas, as well as music (Yay!), strength, and courage.
It was because of His selfless acts of kindness that Lord Rama and Mother Sita were reunited. When asked by Rama what he wants as a reward, they say Hanuman only asked for a more selfless, kind, and passionate heart and life devoted to Sri Rama.
So why did I rename this blog to “Ramabantu”? I would like to do these selfless acts, random ones or not, in whatever way I can, for whomever, whenever. It makes me feel good inside. I think it’s a safe bet to say it works the same for everyone. Try it. Let me know how it goes. And remember, if any of you ever need any help, let me know, and we’ll see what we can do.
Share the love, spread the cheer. Jaya Sri Rama!
