“The Tail of Hanuman Ji and the Mystery of Mata Parvati”
Parvati Ji said to Shiva Ji, “Lord, stop this devotee from coming to Kailash, otherwise one day I will turn him into ashes in the fire.”
Whenever he comes, I become very uncomfortable!
I don’t like it at all. Please explain to him not to enter Kailash.
Shiva Ji knew that Parvati only maintains the limit of his boon to Ravana.
He quietly gets up and goes outside to see that Ravana is disturbing Nandi.
As soon as Shiva Ji sees him, he bows with folded hands – Greetings Mahadev!
Come, how did Dashanan come here?
I just came to see you, Mahadev!
Finally, Mahadev began to explain to him – see, Ravana, Parvati does not like you coming here at all. So, do not come here!
Are you saying this, Mahadev – you are the one who has given me the boon to come to Kailash Mountain anytime for your darshan?
And now you are withdrawing your boon. This is not fair, Mahadev!
But your actions trouble Parvati, and if one day she curses you, I won’t be able to do anything! So it is right that you do not come here.
Then your boon has become false, Mahadev!
I give you another boon today. Whenever you remember me, I will come to you myself!
But do not come to Kailash Mountain in any circumstances now.
Now go, Parvati is very angry with you. Ravana leaves.
Times change – Hanuman Ji burns the golden city of Lanka to ashes and Ravana can do nothing.
He thinks and gets upset – where did Hanuman get so much power from…?
Disturbed, he goes to the Shiva temple located in the palace and starts praying to Lord Shiva.
Jatatavigalajjvalapavitate.
Gale
With his prayer, Shiva Ji becomes pleased and manifests himself! Ravana, overwhelmed, falls at his feet.
Tell me, Dashanan, how are you? Why did you remember me today…? Shiva Ji asks!
You are omniscient, Mahadev..!!! You know everything, my Lord!
A lone monkey burned my Lanka and even my pride to ashes!
I want to know – who is this monkey named Hanuman…??
And Lord! His tail was even more powerful.
How easily he burned my Lanka! Tell me, who is this Hanuman…?
Shiva Ji smiles as he listens to Ravana’s words and then tells him – Ravana, this Hanuman is none other than my Rudra avatar.
When Vishnu Ji decided to incarnate on Earth and Mata Lakshmi also decided to incarnate, I wished to witness their divine play.
And when I informed Parvati about my decision, she insisted on accompanying me.
But it was not clear to me how she could be a part of this play.
Then all the gods together told me the way – you should become a monkey! And “Shakti Swaroopa Mata Parvati Devi” will stay with you in the form of your tail! Only then can both of you stay together.
And accordingly, I took birth as Hanuman and observed a fast in the service of Lord Rama! And “Shakti Swaroopa Parvati” as your tail – and as a result of that service – burned your Lanka.
Now listen, Ravana! Your liberation time has come! Therefore, your salvation will be in the hands of Lord Rama! My advice is that you present yourself for battle at the very end. So that your entire demon family can attain liberation from the hands of Lord Sri Rama! And all of you can be liberated.
Ravana already knows the whole situation in advance – and accordingly, he prepares for battle. And he sends his entire wives and family to face Lord Rama in battle first – and in the end, he himself attains liberation..!!
