What do we understand by Hanuman carrying Sri Ram and Laxmana on shoulders Hanumantha is Mukhya Pran Devaru. He carries Lord and Jeeva from one body to another body always. Usually, he carries Jeeva on his left shoulder and Lord on the Right shoulder. Thus during Sugreeva-Rama sandhana as well Hanuman placed lord Sri Ram on his right shoulder and Laxmana(Sheshadevaru) who represent Jeeva on the left shoulder. This is the instance well described in Madhwa Nama by Sri Sripadrajaru through an explanation for "Sri Ram put a smile when Hanumanth took him on the shoulder". Thus Lord Ram indicated that Hanumanth is Mukhaprana only. Also, liked his act towards lifting Laxman as the representation of Jeeva. In Mahabharatha Tatparya Niryana also Sri Anand Teerthraru explains this thought very well using the following sloka. Avavanu dehadolagiralu hari ta nelesihanu Avavanu tolage hari ta tolaguva Avavanu dehadolahorage niyamakanu A vayu namma kula guru rayanu || 2 ||
