Hanuman and Arjuna both are the most powerful characters of Hindu mythology. It may be lord Krishna or his incarnation as Lord Rama in the epics they carry the lead in roles. By spreading useful lessons for the future.

Why are Hanuman and Arjuna compared?

They are different but at a point, Hanuman and Arjun are then compared for being the most skilled soldiers of their time.
Both have played a great role to win the end game after severe struggles. Both are fortunate who was able to see Lord Vishnu in the form of Krishna and Lord Rama.
Hanuman and Lord Vishnu are the two characters who have survived from Ramayan to Mahabharat. In the chariot, when Lord Krishna was with Arjun, somewhere Hanuman was hidden. The flag flying high in the chariot has the image of Hanuman that binds Hanuman and Arjun.

Who is more powerful? Hanuman or Arjun

Hanuman was a great disciple of Lord Rama. According to the mythology, it is also said that without the help of the King of Monkeys Rama would not have been able to rescue Sita. The strength of the King of Monkeys is incomparable. When he lifted the huge mountain to save the life of Lakshman. His power and intelligence did not blend with any touch of pride. His presence of mind and down to earth nature bound with his strength and confidence.
Hanuman was blessed with the divine powers of God. His skills of fighting with Gada, building the Rama Setu with the battalion of monkeys. They are not magical but the supreme power of strength and intelligence. Hanuman was a great leader and a person who resists ego to develop in himself. Till the end, he was with Rama to help him throughout the journey to kill the demon Ravana in Sri Lanka. Another remarkable skill was honesty and the ability to devote himself to Lord Rama.

While Arjuna was one of the intelligent warriors, his devotion was for his duty or dharma. It shows that he was an egoist despite being a powerful soldier of the Pandavas. Arjuna was one of the skilled warriors who was a great Archer through he convinced Lord Varuna to fill the pot with water.
Comparison of power of Two followers of Lord Vishnu
The main comparison of power is between Hanuman and Arjuna because they are the disciples of Lord Vishnu. It was difficult for Arjuna to introduce him as his disciple until he won the Kurukshetra. Sri Krishna has helped by motivating Arjuna when he was not able to develop confidence. Arjuna was a great devotee and believed in true dharma or duty. He was always committed to doing his duty irrespective of any situation or conditions.
Krishna had chosen Arjuna out of five brothers for his determination, intelligence and as a strong warrior.

While comparison of power for both the epic characters of Hanuman and Arjuna in Ramayana and Mahabharata, it is clear that Arjun was only a leader, Mahabharata. While in Ramayana he was a follower of Rama and leader as a King of Monkey!

Hanuman is the 9^th incarnation of Lord Shiva. Hanuman was the closest disciple of Lord Rama who is the avatar of Krishna. As Shiva is the superior who controls the entire universe being the strongest of all.

Hanuman has a great historical role in supporting Lord Rama to win the battle against Ravana. Vishnu was re-born to fight against Ravana, and Lord Shiva was on earth to help him throughout the journey. He was kind, supportive, loyal and above all courageous. None of the external features of the Shiva matches with the Hanuman.

Appearance of Hanuman

He is still the king of the monkey kingdom ruling on the earth. His face is similar to the monkey species with a long tail at his back. Partially the structure of human and monkey he was the incarnation of Shiva. Comparing with the appearances of Shiva it does not in any ways describe the ninth avatar. He is one of the loyal and honest souls who have been with his best friend Sugriva when he was sent to exile.

Sugriva was in exile after his brother who was the king of Kishkinda threw him out of the kingdom of monkeys.

How incarnation of Lord Shiva helped Rama?

After Rama lost Sita, two-person was close to him one was Laksmana and the other was Hanuman. Without the strongest Hanuman overcoming the difficulties was impossible. Two of the major obstacles that are memorable and describes the ninth avatar of Lord Shiva are:

Sanjeevani Herbs

During the battle between Rama and Ravana, Laksmana was severely injured. The only way to save his life was the herbs from the mountain of the Dronagiri ranges located at the Himalayas Uttarakhand. Finding out the life-saving herbs that are known as Sanjeevani Booti was not possible from the dense forest.

All he did is picked the entire mountain in his hand took it to the injured Laksman. Finally, they were able to pick the herbs and treat the injury. Finally, Rama’s brother was saved during the battle.

Rama Setu and incarnation of Lord Shiva

Hanuman is known as the Lord of the Monkeys. To help Rama and reach Lanka to rescue his wife Sita was not possible without the bridge build by the army of monkeys. They wrote the name of Lord Rama on the stones and placed it on the sea to form the bridge which is known as Rama Setu.

Once again the ninth incarnation was the one in all to sort out the problems and obstacles. Alone Lord Rama would have been taken a much longer time to reach Sri Lanka and find his wife.

Ravana was the greatest devotee of Lord Shiva who had showered the blessings of being immortal. Thus it was necessary for Lord Rama to have the support of Hanuman who is the incarnation of Shiva. He was able to fight against all the odds to defeat Ravana. The King of Monkeys “Hanuman” was on one side the devotee of Lord Rama and on the other side the avatar or incarnation of Lord Shiva.

In November, the month for the festival of the monkeys that is known as the “Monkey Buffet” Festival. Monkeys population in Thailand is more than 6000 but due to the lack of food, they are rarely seen in public areas. This festival is for the monkeys as a tribute to the disciple of God Rama with platters of foods, fruits are served for the ancient rampages.

For more than three decades the festival takes place arranged by the Mongoloids and Thai people. No other part of the world has such a unique culture and festival that continues in Thailand.

Reason of celebration

The Indian epic Ramayana mentions the role of Hanuman and his troupe of monkeys. When Rama was on his way to rescue Sita his wife, and he had to face obstacles. The major obstacle was to cross the ocean to reach Sri Lanka. The Vanaras or apes constructed a floating bridge so that Rama can cross the ocean and reach his destination. Ram Setu still is visible from above the joins as a pathway between the Pamban island to the Mannar island in Srilanka.

The task was not easy to complete the bridge without the help of the Hanuman, the disciple of Rama, and the Vanara Sena. Somewhere, the belief of the monkeys to be the primitive of human races are considered as valuable. Here are the people carrying the gene of Malay or Indonesian mongoloids from regions of Thailand participate apart from the Thai.

The national epic of Thailand is Ramayana, according to them the monkey buffet festival is a tribute to Lord Rama and his disciple. The epic is known as “Ramakien”, and they pay this tribute each year to their lord who exists from 3000 years earlier.

Honoring the Monkeys

Heaps of fruits and vegetables are beautifully decorated on the tables with drinks and water. The festival is organized every year in the ancient parts, at the Phra Prang Sam Yod temple. Travelers visiting in November find it one of the most interesting places to visit. When several monkeys run around, eating, squeezing the juices, pulling off the plates from the tables arranged with foods.

Lopburi is the oldest city in Thailand that has the highest population of apes and so this unique festival is celebrated in the Phra prang Sam Yod temple. The Monkey buffet festival ensures a beautiful gathering and participation of the animals and humans. The performers make the sounds of monkeys to call them and involve them in the buffet. They jump to the ground at once at their call and observing the heaps of food for them.

Tribute to the ancestors or their God, it is fun to watch the monkeys being happy with the food and playing with the visitors around.

On the occasion of Hanuman Jayanti our government under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi has decided that they will give free visa’s to all the Pakistani Hindus so that they can visit some of the biggest and oldest Hanuman temples in India.

Like the Parital Anjaneya Swami Temple in Andhra Pradesh with the tallest Hanuman statue in the world and Karmanghat Hanuman Temple which is one of the oldest temples.

Hanumanji is known for his loyalty towards Lord Rama and so are the Hanuman Bhakts themselves.

So to fulfill their (Bhakt’s) wishes our government has taken this action. Again proving to the world that we have a big heart and despite the constant threats and wars from the neighboring country we still welcome them with open arms during such occasions.

What if this was true?
