My God can move mountains

My God can move mountains.

My son likes to go to an Axis church. In one of the songs we sung the other day had that line in it. In part, the lecture covered singing and celebrating in praise. I connected with hinduism because of that very reason. There is always singing and praising and lots of times.. dancing.

I dont recall ever reading in the bible, any passage that mentions Yhwh ever actually moving a mountain, just that people say he can.

laye sanjivan lakhan jiyaye
sri raghuvir harashi ur laye

You brought Sanjivan (a herb that revives life)
and restored Lakshman back to life
Sri Raguvir (sri Ram) embraced you with his heart full of joy.

For those who do not know the story : Lakshman was harmed in the battle to regain Sita from the demon of Sri Lanka who had stolen her. Ram, her husband had rallied soldiers for this war, Hanuman his greatest compatriate. Lakshman was Ram's brother.

Hanuman (an incarnation of Shiva) was told to get sanjivan, for only that could save Lakshman from certain death. He few accross the Himalliays to find the sanjivan, however couldn't distinguish which plant it was. So, he grabbed the whole mountain and braught it to where Laksham lay, and Ram waited.

Indeed Hanuman could and did move mountains. Jai Hanuman !


Another theme that was discussed was the ability to conquer death. (see above)

There was also mention of hardships durring life, the deceavers who atempt to convince you that god is not good ie evil forces/demons. By believing in Yhwy and jesus, one is protected and delivered from these things.

Bhoot pissach nikat nahin aavai
mahavir jab naam sunavai

All the ghosts, demons and evil forces keep away
with the sheer mention of your great nam oh Mahavir!

nase rog harai sab peera
japat nirantar Hanumant beera

All diseases, pain and suffering dissappear on reciting
Sri Hanuman's holy name !

Sankat se hanuman chudavai
man karam vachan dyan jo lavai

All disease, pain and suffering dissapear on
reciting Sri Hanuman's holy name.

The plan of Jesus taking upon all our since, doing our own payment of hell for us was also mentioned.

Sub par Ram tapasvee rja
Tin ke kaj sakai tum saja

All who hail, worship and have faith in
Sri Ram as the Lord and the King of penance
You make all thier difficult tasks very easy.

The lines above were taken from the Hanuman chalisa, something I sing often.
