Unique Facts
In this inimitable Verse, Kambar, the immortal Tamil Poet and Devotee sings the glories of Lord Anjaneya and expresses his confidence of always being protected by Him.
Ancient Hindu Philosophy envisaged creation in five basic elements - Space(Akash), Fire(Agni), Atmosphere(Vayu), Water(Ocean) and Matter(Earth). This verse is a succint poetic description - linking Lord Anjaneya (Son of Vayu) with all these five elements - His flight(Akash) over the Ocean(Water) to save the life of Sita(Daughter of Mother Earth); and with his Mission accomplished left Lanka ablaze(Fire). And He will always protect us in our righteous faith.
It is the experience of millions of true devotees that recalling this single event in the great Ramayana in our daily Prayers to the lord drives away diffidence and depression and infuses our body and soul with new ligour, greater faith and unfailing hope.
