Unshakable Faith: How Hanuman Reflects Shri Krishna’s Call to Surrender

Unshakable faith – this is the essence of Lord Hanuman’s devotion and the heart of Shri Krishna’s call to surrender, as reflected in Shri Krishna Charit Manas (Rasayan Mahakavya) by Jagadguru Shri Priyadarshi Ji Maharaj. In both of their lives, we find a powerful lesson: true surrender to the divine is not about weakness but about strength rooted in love and trust.

According to Dr. Shri Krishna Kinkarji Maharaj, “In Shri Krishna Charit Manas, Shri Krishna beckons us to let go of the ego and surrender completely to the divine will. His teaching calls for devotion, selflessness, and release of the need to control. One of the key teachings of the Manas is to form a relationship with Shri Krishna. Manas further explains, that there are 5 Bhaavs(emotions) through which we can connect with Shri Radha Krishna. One of them is ‘Daas Bhaav’. In which the devotee forever remains in His service as a ‘dass’ (servant). Hanuman ji is devoted to Bhagwan Shri Ram with this bhaav and it exemplifies this surrender. His life is not one of doubting, but of profound, unshakeable faith in the divine. Each action is a demonstration of this – he neither asks for praise nor reward; his only goal is to serve with a heart pure and open.

Hanuman’s story is a vivid portrayal of active faith – it moves mountains and crosses oceans, driven by boundless love. It is a reminder that surrender does not mean inaction or passivity. Just as Shri Krishna’s teachings ask us to act without attachment, Hanuman’s deeds show us how to act with courage, knowing that every step taken in faith brings us closer to the divine.

When we embrace surrender like Hanuman did, with an open heart and unshakable faith, we find peace, purpose, and strength in our journey. We begin to let go of fear, trust in the divine plan, and live with devotion, just as Hanuman lived, a life led by love and faith in the higher power.”
