I wanted to have the ability to use sudo without password for the above two commands, but use sudo with password (required) for everything else. Will it be enough to type the two commands with a comma separator after the NOPASSWD: (and instead of the ALL)? I guess I could try this, but wanted to be sure.

In aliases section:
Cmnd_Alias HIBERNATE = /usr/sbin/pm-hibernate, /usr/sbin/pm-suspend
in the main part:
rajan ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: HIBERNATE
This should do the trick in the way that you will be able to run any command (ALL) and you will be asked for the password, except for commands that are defined under the HIBERNATE alias.
Fact is that once you entered the password in sudo, it will be remembered for the rest of the session.
