Text 302] Talks Between the Lord and Ramananda Raya 281
PURPORT
In almost all the cities and towns of India there are temples of Hanumanji, the
eternal servant of Lord Ramacandra. There is even a temple of Hanuman near
Govindaji temple in Vrndavana. Formerly this temple was in front of the Gopalaji
temple, but that Deity Gopalaji went to Orissa to remain as Saksi-gopala. Being
the eternal servant of Lord Ramacandra, Hanumanji has been respectfully
worshiped for many hundreds and thousands of years. Here even Lord Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu set the example in showing how one should offer respects
to Hanuman].
