Hanuman — Devotion, Service, Selfless Strength

Hanuman leapt across the ocean to Lanka, carried a mountain of healing herbs, set a city on fire with his burning tail — all in service to Rama. His power is limitless because it is never exercised for himself. Hex 7 (The Army) is water within earth: disciplined strength in service of a higher authority. Hex 46 (Pushing Upward) is earth over wind: steady, devoted ascent. Hanuman's bhakti (devotion) is not subservience — it is the discovery that selfless service is its own liberation. When asked to show what is in his heart, he tears open his chest to reveal Rama and Sita dwelling there.
