Weeks later, I am still addicted to song by MC Yogi I heard late at night on a NPR radio show I'd never heard before, and now love, Snap Judgement.
Rock On Hanuman
Hanuman G, son of the wind / lord of the monkeys Rama’s best friend / you eliminate
illusion and destroy all sin / and your known as Shiva’s incarnation / champion of truth
with the thunderbolt body / the mighty monkey god who embodies bhakti / your the breath
of Ram, Prana Shakti / you achieve victory like the movie Rocky / you carry a club to
smash the thugs / your the perfect servant the embodiment of love / you’re the face of
Grace and your heart is pure / you make the whole demon race tremble when you roar
in service of the Lord your the demon destroyer / also known as the king of all warriors
your compassion in action devotion in motion / with the strength to leap the length
of the ocean
chorus
Rock On, Hanuman Rock On, Rock On
Hanuman G, you have the power / to be as small as a cat or as tall as a tower
you devour lust, ignorance, envy and greed / you succeed and never cower in the hour of
need / you leapt to Lanka and reassured Sita / don’t worry bout a thing cuz Rama’s
gonna free ya /you burned down Lanka when your tail was on fire / and to serve Lord
Ram is your only desire /when Ram’s little brother was about to die / without a second
thought you began to fly / in search of a cure high in the Himalayas / but when you
weren’t sure which herb to take him / you brought the whole mountain back with one
hand / that’s why Hanuman your Rama’s best friend /you embody bhakti the yoga of love
that’s why Ram gave Hanuman a big ol hug
chorus
Rock On, Hanuman Rock On, Rock
Hanuman G, there’s no monkey greater / but sometimes you have funny behavior /
Once when Sita gave you a necklace / you bit it with your teeth like it was your breakfast
then Sita asked “Hanuman what was wrong with the mala” / you replied that you were
just tryin to find Rama / then someone said “Hanuman is Ram inside of you” / and in
that moment you revealed your Truth /you tore open your chest and inside your heart
Ram was shining like a diamond inside the dark / you said when your separate that’s
when you serve / but when your connected you and Ram merge / you’re the mighty
monkey of the epic Ramayana / you repeat Ram’s name the holy Ramanama
singing Kirtan with the cymbals in your hand / going on and on like a one man band
singing Shri Ram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram / rockin on and on till the break of dawn
Shri Ram Jai Ram, Jai Jai Ram
