Ramayana is a Great Indian Epic written by Valmiki and it clearly showed the importance of the power of communication. Most of the people consider Hanuman as just a person who is always chanting Ram bhajans. But they rarely know that he is a noble minister and an efficient ambassador. He is a man of action who is expert in all sciences. He is an expert in Vedas and he is an obedient servant to Lord Rama. He is also known as Great Mehndi pur Balaji and also Pawan Putra Hanuman. Whatever be his position, he always followed his dharma as an ideal idol to others.
His expertise in communication enabled him to dawn various roles efficiently and effectively. The new age managers can learn many things and take tips from Hanuman, the expert in communication, as hailed by Lord Rama himself. Hanuman knows the way he speaks and what he speaks. He is an expert in scientific communication. How Hanuman speaks is also analysed by Rama in Kishkindha Kaanda as told by Valmiki.
When Hanuman meets Rama for the first time on the outskirts of Kishkindha as Sugreeva’s messenger, Rama was charmed by Hanuman’s communication style and art of speaking. He tells his brother Lakshmana: ‘see how excellently Hanuman has spoken. He did not utter a single word without relevance and significance. He has not wasted a single word. Nor did he omit an appropriate word. He has not taken more time than it was strictly necessary to express what he wanted to say.
Every word that he spoke can never be forgotten. Such a voice promotes general welfare and remains forever in the hearts and minds of generations to come’. Isn’t it a brief statement of the fundamentals and essentials of how speech should be?
Again when Hanuman sees Sita in the Ashoka Grove in Lanka of Ravana, the Demon King, he exclaims, ‘to find Sita here is just like listening to a person who is lacking in word culture – who tries to say something but actually says something else!’ A mismatch between what one says and what one means.
