The Esoteric Significance of Dreams Featuring Shri Ram and Hanuman Ji
Do you often see Shri Ram or Hanuman Ji in your dreams day after day? Your dreams may be revealing deeper meanings, according to spiritual interpretations and insights from the mystic Thakur Sri Ramkrishna. In this article, we explore the esoteric significance of these recurring dreams, offering a deeper understanding of the mystical symbolism.
The Esoteric Significance of Shri Ram and Hanuman Ji in Dreams
A dream where Shri Ram or Hanuman Ji appear can hold significant esoteric meaning. These dreams symbolize divine qualities within the dreamer and can be seen as a manifestation of the divine's pleasure and approval.
Thakur Sri Ramkrishna's Insights
Thakur Sri Ramkrishna, a renowned mystic and spiritual master, explained in his Gospel of Sri Ramkrishna that:
‘It is said that Hanuman had such faith in Lord Rama’s words that on the basis of it he crossed the sea, but Rama himself had to construct a bridge.’ Ramayana.
This religious context does not define Hanuman; rather, he symbolizes a human being. The body part chosen to symbolize Hanuman (i.e., the wind or Kundalini) indicates that the transformation and awakening within the human body signify the divine process of evolution.
Understanding the Bridge and Enlightenment
Chandogya Upanishad also speaks of a bridge, which is the soul or Atman. This spiritual text describes the journey of the soul across the bridge through various states:
“The soul Atman is the bridge or dam, the separation for keeping these worlds apart. Over that bridge there cross neither day nor night nor old age nor death nor sorrow nor well-doing nor evil-doing. All evils turn back their form for that Brahma-world is freed from evil. Upon crossing that bridge if one is blind he becomes no longer blind if he is sick he becomes no longer sick. Going up by it one goes to immortality. Upon crossing that bridge the night appears as the day for that Brahma-world is ever illuminated.” Chandogya Upanishad 8.4.1/2
This bridge symbolizes the transformation of the human self towards enlightenment. Once this transformation is achieved, one will no longer need external austerities and will attain the direct vision of the Supreme Self, 'Brahma.'
Religious Attributes and Divine Sport
Dreams featuring Shri Ram or Hanuman Ji indicate that the divine within you is pleased and celebrating through these symbolic forms. These dreams represent divine attributes within the dreamer, such as devotion, service, and strength. As every human possesses these attributes, the appearance of Shri Ram and Hanuman Ji in dreams signifies the potential for achieving union with the divine.
Future Journey Towards God
Through ongoing devotion, one can achieve oneness with the divine, embodied in Shri Ram or Hanuman Ji. Thakur Sri Ramkrishna also assures that, in the long run, the divine, represented by God-the-Preceptor, may appear in dreams to guide the seeker towards everlasting peace and happiness. However, no ritualism is necessary for this spiritual evolution; God's blessings are already upon you.
Understanding the esoteric significance of these dreams can provide a profound insight into one's spiritual journey. If you often see Shri Ram or Hanuman Ji in your dreams, it might be a sign of your spiritual progress.
