STORY BEHIND HANUMANASANA

STORY BEHIND HANUMANASANA

We all knew that Hanumanasana, (derived from Sanskrit word "Hanuman" who resembles a monkey), is of utmost spiritual significance, as well as requiring significant physical flexibility.

Let us know about the story behind Hanuman asana -

During mythological times, Rama, a king of ancient India, had a problem. The demon king who presided in Sri Lanka, Ravana, had abducted Rama’s wife, Sita. To rescue her Rama and his troops were set. But unfortunately in the ensuing battle Rama’s brother, Laksmana, was severely wounded, and the only way to save him was with an herb that grew exclusively in the Himalayas.

Hanuman, Rama’s greatest devotee, decided to accomplish this impossible task. He then took one mighty leap that stretched all the way from the south of India to the Himalayas. But being unsure which herb to pick, he carried the entire mountain with him and made another massive leap back to the battlefield.

That mighty leap is memorialized in the pose Hanumanasana. This pose asks you not merely to stretch your legs but also to bring true devotion into your practice.
