Dear Bhakthas, Sri parasara Bhattar has mentioned about Hanumar and Vibheeshanalwan in SriRangarajastavam "HanubhUsha ViBhIShaNayOssyAm YatamAviha Mokshamupekshya RaghunAyaka niShkrayaBhUtham Bhuvi Rangadhanam ramayEthE" which means I would be one among Hanuman and Vibheeshana, both of whom ignored Moksha and Vaikuntha. Both permanently stay with Sri Ranganatha Periya perumal who was given in exchange of helps received by SriRama Perumal. They are staying with Ranganatha to entertain Him and serve and converse with Him (RamayEthE). In SriGunarathnaKosha another reference to Hanumar in ' MAtharMaithili RakshasIs tvayi tadaivardrAparAdhAstvaya Rakshnthya PavanathmajAllaghutarA Ramasya GoshthI krutA KAkam tamcha Vibheeshanam SharaNmithyuktikshmau rakshtata: SAnassandra mahAgasassukhayathu kShAnthisthavAkasmiki' which means that by the Seeta's act of protecting redhanded demonesses from Hanumar, Rama's Goshthi became meaner than Seeta's Goshthi since Rama only protected that Crow and Vibheeshana after their loud proclamation of surrender. In Madhva Sampradayam Hanumar is having the position of god, being the son of MulaDevaru Vayu. They have separate sannidhis for Hanumar in Madhava temples. In Hanumadashtotthara we have ' Rudraveerya Samudbhava:'. So Hanumar is also Rudramsa. This may be another reason why Hanumar is not having Sannidhi and Tiruvaradhanams in srivaishnava temples. In Srivaishanvism however, Hanumar and Garudalwan have the position of Vahana or Vehicles. So they are in the vahana mantapams. We dont see separate sannidhis in the main temple of Srirangam for example. In Melukote Tirunarayanapuram temple there is no sannidhi for Hanumar. Normally Hanumar is engraved on pillars. Only Garudalwan has a separate sannidhi being Nithya soori, the sannidhi being smaller than that of SriVishvaksenar. In fact, hanumar is treated as an Acharya like Shatpada, Bee, by uniting Jeevatma Seeta with Paramatma, in Bhagavadvishayams. They are referred to as Periya nad chinna tiruvadis in Bhagavadvishayams and Vyakhyana of Purvacharyas. No surprise no Acharya has composed any stotrams in the name of Hanumar unlike Garudalwan. In thennacharya sampradayam there is no separate stotrams exclusively for Garudalwan as Garudapanchashath and garudadandakam Of Swami VedantaDeshikan. We have only two slokas in Srirangarajastavam 'Sruthimayam athiharsha prashrayasmeravaktram ManimukuramivAgre mangalam RangadhAmna: SaraNamupagatAssmo yatra rUpa swarUpa swaguna mahimadarshi modathE rangashayee' and Tarkshya pakshativadasya vallabhA Rudraya saha SukeerthimarchayE Harshabashpamapi keerthimarthinAm yanmukhena kamalA katAkshayeth" and the famous slokas on the Tvara or Haste of Ranganatha 'Atantrita chamoopathi prahitahastamasweekruta praneetha manipAdukam kimithichAkulAnthaHpuram. AvAhanaparishkriyam pathagaRAjamArOhatha: KaripravarabrimhithE bhagavathasthvarAyai nama:' Based on all these treatments we have to understand Hanumar's and Garudalwan's position in Srivaishnavism, which has a highly logical and PAramEkAnthya pkilosophy, unlike the liberal and broadminded thinkings of the uninitiated. These are only a few observations of mine which may be pardoned if unsuitable by the experts in the philosophy.
