Krishna Shows Rama Form to Hanuman / Detail / Temple

Once in Dwarka, Krishna sent for Garuda and told him, “Go and call Hanuman.”So Garuda went to Hanuman and told him, “Lord Krishna is calling you to Dwarka.” Hanuman was busy chanting rama-nama; “Rama, Rama, Rama, Rama.” He didn’t pay any attention to Garuda.

Garuda repeated himself three times, “I have come from Dwarka. Lord Krishna has sent me. He is calling you. Please come But Hanuman didn’t listen.

Garuda was morose. But Krishna could understand what had happened. Krishna said, “Why did you say that Krishna was calling him? Go again. This time tell him that Lord Rama is calling.”Again Garuda went there and told Hanuman, “Lord Rama is calling you. Please come.”Hanuman said, “Oh, my master is calling? All right, I will go immediately.

Garuda saw that Krishna had assumed the form of Lord Rama, Balaram had assumed the form of Laksman, and Rukmini had assumed the form of Sitadevi. Hanuman was sitting there with folded hands. Krishna thought His dear devotee wants to see this form of mine, so he showed him the form of Lord Rama.
