United States President Barack Obama carries around a tiny Hindu Lord Hanuman statue in his pocket.
In a live post-State of the Union interview with Ingrid Nilsen, American YouTube personality, from the East Room of the White House on January 15, Obama showed things he carried around all the time and took out from his pocket what he described as: “This is Hindu little statuette of monkey god Hanuman that a woman gave me.” This video-interview is posted on The White House website. BBC gave this story the title: “What does Obama keep in his pocket?”
Candidate Obama also was said to be carrying a small Hanuman figurine as a lucky charm during electioneering.
Lord Hanuman is said to be the son of Vayu Devta (God of Wind) with incredible strength and vigor. He is also believed to be a perfect grammarian, great scholar. He excelled in aerial travel and related sciences.
An immortal figure, he is worshipped with huge devotion for fighting battles. He was encrypted on the flag on Arjuna’s chariot driven by Lord Krishna .
Planets which according to Hindu belief are shaping or indicating the course of destiny are powerless before him
Rajan Zed, President of Universal Society of Hindu, who is actively pushing for erecting a privately funded statue of Lord Hanuman in Arkansas State Capitol grounds in Little Rock, welcomed Obama’s continued interest in Lord Hanuman.
