Harimarkat

"Maarjala"  "Markata" 
 "Na aham kartha Harihi Kartha"
 
Harimarkat - God's own dearest monkey,
Mahamarkat - the greatest , mighty monkey .
But relation between Hari and jeeva is that of Bimbam -pratibimbam , in real world , mirror reflects the self, however this reflection needs a medium called mirror .
In bimbam pratibimbam , there is no medium [upadhi], jeeva himself is the upadhi and the reflection.
as the reflection does not move by itself ,they only appear as doing things that the bimba does .
however characteristics of reflection can change as per the type of the mirror.
Most of us remember the mirror house in an exhibition where we can see ourselves elongated ,diminished or distorted in a various mirrors that are exhibited. so reflections change irrespective of our self being intact.

As our mirror image is dependent on us for all the moment , so does Na aham karth harihi kartha reflect our dependence on God.
One illustration is necessary to explain Harimarkatmahamarkatha.......
when Shri Hanuman brought the sanjeevani , everyone was praising him ,and he was extolled as the highest , but unattached to these praises ,Hanuman says, "its all the mahima of Shri Ram , if he had put his gracious palm on any ordinary monkey ,even that would have performed this act , he has put his grace on my head its only my fortune."
because Ram has chosen Hanuman for this feat ,he is harimarkat .
because Hanuman carried out this impossible feat with amazing ease , [also being the chosen one] ,he is Mahamarkatay.
Hanuman brought the mountain in three minutes , and did not go back to keep the mountain , he threw it with his left hand and it went back as earlier .
But after this he prepared garland for Shri Ram and offered it to his master . For this he took 1-1/2 hour[one and hour hour] . Imagine a great job in battlefield 3 minutes and garland [pooja] one and half hour . That shows how important was Rampooja for Hanuman than his other obligations.
[ we do exactly opposite , we spend less time in pooja graha perhaps negligible and more time in our duties and udaraposhana]Thus He is justly HARIMARKAT-MAHAMARKATAYA .
