In the grand epic of Ramayana, Hanuman Ji’s entry into Lanka is not just a tale of courage and divine power—it is a spiritual journey layered with deeper meanings. Narrated in the deeply resonant voice of Baba Shri Raj Mahajan Ji, this story offers powerful lessons of faith, humility, and the supreme strength that comes with devotion.
Let us walk through this celestial story as narrated by Guru Shri Raj Mahajan Ji, shedding light on a pivotal moment that signaled the beginning of the end for the evil forces of Lanka.
Hanuman Ji’s Encounter with Kaal
As Hanuman Ji reached Lanka, he ascended the peak of the Trikoot Parvat. There, who did he meet? None other than Kaal (Time) itself. In an awe-inspiring display of power, Hanuman Ji caught Kaal in his jaws and scolded him fiercely. Kaal, trembling, pleaded for mercy. Hanuman Ji struck a deal: “I will release you only if you do as I say inside Lanka. Whenever I point at someone, you must become their Kaal (death).”
As Baba Ji puts it, this symbolic control over Time reflects the unwavering will of the devotee backed by divine grace.
The Observation from Outside Lanka
Before even entering Lanka, Hanuman Ji stood outside the gates, observing. As narrated by Shri Raj Mahajan Ji, he saw fierce Rakshasas (demons) patrolling every corner of the city—guarding, fighting, and even devouring animals and humans alike. Yet, Hanuman Ji knew all of them would meet their end at the hands of Lord Ram and ultimately attain liberation.
Witnessing the formidable security, Hanuman Ji decided to shrink himself into an extremely small form. As Guru Ji says, this was not a transformation into a literal mosquito, but rather a symbolic act of humility and divine disguise.
The Face-Off with Lankini
At the main gate stood Lankini, the fearsome demoness guardian of Lanka. She noticed the tiny Hanuman trying to enter stealthily. She shouted, “Where do you think you’re going without my permission?” She arrogantly claimed to devour any intruder, calling Hanuman Ji a thief.
As Guru Shri Raj Mahajan Ji narrates powerfully, Hanuman Ji didn’t back down. He challenged her, and with a single punch—infused with divine strength—knocked her to the ground. Bloodied and stunned, Lankini remembered a prophecy told by Brahma Ji himself: “When a divine messenger of Lord Ram strikes you and you fall, know that the destruction of Lanka has begun.”
Falling to her knees, she folded her hands and said, “You are truly the messenger of the Lord.” Her transformation from arrogance to surrender symbolizes the soul’s journey from ignorance to realization, as emphasized by Baba Shri Raj Mahajan Ji.
Divine Recognition and Prophecy Fulfilled
Lankini, now humbled, confessed that her time had come. She revealed how Brahma Ji had foretold that her defeat would mark the beginning of Ravana’s downfall. She praised Hanuman Ji, recognizing the immense punya (spiritual merit) of having had the darshan (divine sight) of the Lord’s messenger.
This moment, as described by Baba Ji, teaches us that true realization begins when the ego falls and surrender begins.
The Power of the Sacred Chaupai
Shri Raj Mahajan Ji emphasizes a significant spiritual takeaway: the chanting of a specific Chaupai before any important journey or task can ensure success. He urges devotees to recite:
“Prabhu Shri Nagar Keejiye Sab Kaja, Hridai Rakhi Kaushalpur Raja.”
(Enter the city and perform all tasks while keeping the King of Ayodhya—Lord Ram—in your heart.)
According to Guru Ji, this Chaupai is incredibly powerful. Whether you’re going for a business deal, a meeting, or a journey, chanting it will help remove obstacles and ensure divine grace accompanies your steps.
The Symbolism of Entry into Lanka
Hanuman Ji then assumed an even smaller form and prepared to enter Lanka. Guru Shri Raj Mahajan Ji compares this to crossing international borders. Just like an immigration officer checks your passport and stamps your visa, Lankini had become the divine officer recognizing that Hanuman Ji had the celestial “visa” to enter. She blessed him, saying, “Go ahead. Complete all of Lord Ram’s tasks within Lanka.”
Final Reflection by Baba Shri Raj Mahajan Ji
This tale, filled with courage, humility, divine strength, and the beginning of Ravana’s end, is more than mythology—it’s a spiritual blueprint. Guru Ji teaches us that every obstacle, no matter how terrifying, can be overcome with devotion, purpose, and remembrance of the Lord.
