HINDU MISSION HOSPITAL At the Hindu Mission Hospital (HMH), dedicated care and therapy meet clinical prowess and technological advancement. For close to four decades, the hospital has worked for the benefit of thousands of patients with single-minded commitment and zeal to provide timely healthcare solutions to the most complex medical problems. The hospital was started by D. K. Srinivasan, a business person and social worker and C. S. Gangadhar Sharma, a leprologist, as an outpatient clinic in a shed on December 5, 1982. The emblem of the HMH is a circular seal in which Lord Hanuman is carrying the Mountain of Himalayas bearing the Sanjeevani medicinal plant. According to the Ramayana, Hanuman was asked to fetch the herb from the Himalayas to save the life of Lakshman, Lord Ram’s brother, after he became unconscious while fighting Meghnath, Ravana’s eldest son.

LORD HANUMAN Hanuman according to Hindu tradition was the Lord of Celibacy who was a devotee of Rama and the first Avatar of Vayu the wind god. Hanuman was considered a Brahmachari who is a person on the path of Brahma. Hanuman has monkey traits. Kesari who was a Vanara and a chief was Hanuman’s father and Anjana, an apsaras was Hanuman’s mother. Hanuman’s spiritual father was Vayu. When Anjana was pregnant with Hanuman she received a bit of some sacred pudding from Vayu that was meant for King Dasharasha who wanted a male child. Because Anjana consumed the sacred pudding, Hanuman was born. Another version of Hanuman’s birth has Vayu and Anjana, who is in the shape of a monkey, as Hanuman’s parents. Hanuman pleased the Goddess Kahli and she made him a gatekeeper. Hanuman is also found in Buddhist texts. The Jain texts state that Hanuman was a supernatural being from the start. In Sikhism Hanuman was worshipped and his likeness was carried into battle by warriors.
