Monkey Garlands Hanuman Idol, Prays with Folded Hands: Viral Devotion Steals Millions of Hearts (Insta@trendy_editor)
Trending News: We hear countless stories of religious faith every day, but when an ordinary creature of nature starts prostrating at the feet of God, that moment seems no less than a miracle. These days, one such video is creating a storm on social media, in which a small monkey is seen garlanding the idol of Lord Hanuman and then, with folded hands, becomes engrossed in deep prayer. This mere 30-second clip has touched millions of hearts, and users are calling it a symbol of 'Hanuman ji's Leela.' Like the devotees of Hanuman, the monkey king in the immortal story of Ramayana, this monkey has also become a living example of devotion.
Imagine a peaceful temple complex, where the aroma of incense sticks fills the air and the tunes of bhajans and kirtans of devotees are echoing. In this sacred environment, a playful monkey comes running. He stops and gazes at the statue, as if an old memory has awakened. Then, with his tiny paws, he picks up a fresh garland of flowers—one that may have been placed by a devotee. Carefully, with almost human sensitivity, the monkey places the garland around the neck of the idol. But this is where the magic happens! After offering the garland, he steps back and folds his front paws—just like we salute by saying 'Namaskar.' With his head bowed and eyes closed, he stands still for a few moments, as he is in deep meditation. The video ends with the peaceful expression of the monkey, which reminds the viewer of the line from Hanuman Chalisa, 'Ram Duare Tum Rakhwaare.' This scene is so true and emotional that eyes become moist upon seeing it.
The video was originally shot by a local man who was wandering around the temple premises. After uploading it to social media, it went viral overnight, racking up millions of views, likes, and shares on platforms like Instagram, Twitter (now X), and Facebook. Hashtags like #HanumanBhakt, #ViralMonkey, and #JaiHanuman trended. User reactions were filled with an outpouring of devotion. One user wrote, "This brought tears to my eyes. Hanuman's monkey devotee has returned! Jai Bajrangbali!" Another said, "Nature salutes the Lord. This is a miracle, not a coincidence." Some tried to dismiss it as fake, but the majority expressed confidence in its authenticity. Another comment read, "Devotion knows no age or form. This monkey teaches us that true faith transcends boundaries."
The secret of this video's popularity lies not only in its innocence but also in its deep cultural significance. In Hinduism, Lord Hanuman is symbolized by monkeys—the ultimate devotees of Rama, who are steadfast in their devotion. The story of Ramayana tells us how the monkey army attacked Lanka and how Hanuman brought the Sanjeevani herb. This video is a living depiction of the same tradition, where an ordinary monkey bows before the Lord. Experts believe that such visions are signs of spiritual energy. A temple priest said, "Hanuman ji's devotees come in countless forms. This monkey is also a symbol of the same devotion. God's blessings shower on everyone." The person who uploaded the video also said emotionally, "I never thought that this clip would go so viral, but this is God's play. I myself am surprised at how an animal could show so much devotion."
The incident took place at a famous Hanuman temple in a small town in India, which attracts huge crowds of devotees on festivals like Toofan Tuesday or Hanuman Jayanti. In today's digital age, where negative news dominates, such positive videos seem like a breath of fresh air. It not only promotes religious tolerance but also strengthens the bond between nature and humans. One user on social media rightly said, "This video proves that devotion is beyond boundaries—neither of race nor of appearance."
