Why do hindus worship hanuman?
There is a spiritual interpretation of the relation between Lord Hanuman and Lord Shani. The former is said to be a symbol of selflessness, while the latter is symbolic of instant Judgement based on past and present karma. Thus, to counter the karma borne out of selfish action, one must be humble like Lord Hanuman. This is particularly true for those who are said to be experiencing the evil effects of “elnati shani”(in tamil) ,”Sadhe Sati” – a period of about seven and half years when Saturn (Lord Shani) is supposed to afflict the sign in which “planet,” the moon is placed in the natal chart of a person.
