Success should be measured by the yardstick of happiness; by your ability to remain in peaceful harmony with cosmic laws.
Hanuman is the breath of Rama, the breath of God. God is not far away from us but as close as our breath. Symbolically Hanuman represents the breath, our constant companion and aid along the spiritual path.
