BIBLE VERSES

HANUMAN, SON OF VAYU

A symbol of the intellect which proceeds from the higher mind (Vayu).

"From the south came the welcome tidings of the discovery of Sita by Hanuman, one of the chief captains of the Vanar host, a son of the wind-god by a nymph of paradise." - J. C. Oman, The Great Indian Epics, p. 55.

The lower, or astral (south) emotions, when transmuted, bring about the evolution of the intuition (Sita) which the intellect recognizes and saves from extermination. The "Vanar host" are the mental qualities. A "nymph of paradise" is a lower aspect of buddhi.
