Hanuman is revered as the supreme guru, a title underscored by Swami Vedanta Desikan's assertion that he serves as the standard against which all other gurus are evaluated. His exalted status is attributed to his life-saving actions and his role as a divine messenger. Hanuman rescued Sita from despair, reminding her of Rama's name at a critical moment when she considered death as her only option. He also played a crucial role in reviving Lakshmana during the fierce battle in Lanka, demonstrating his protective nature. Additionally, Hanuman saved Bharata from sacrificing himself when Rama did not return after 14 years, highlighting his ability to provide hope and guidance. His journey to locate Sita in Lanka symbolizes the spiritual quest to escape the material world's entrapments. As a guru to both Sita and Rama, Hanuman embodies the essence of Maheswara, imparting wisdom and guiding souls towards liberation from the cycle of rebirth.
