HANUMAN MEETS SRI RAMA AND LAKSHMANA

The eldest son of King Dasharatha, Sri Rama lived in the

forest with his wife Sita and brother Lakshmana.

They were living in the Chitrakuta hill area.

Lakshmana and Sri Rama were at war with a demoness Surpanakha and they were victorious.

This news held little interest to Sugriva.

Sugriva and his friends wanted to know about the rivalry between the kingdoms of Lanka and Ayodhya.

One day Hanuman and the four vanaras heard a female weeping. The cries came from the sky.

Looking up they saw a chariot bearing demonic symbols racing across the sky.

From the speed of the chariot they guessed Ravanawas the driver and he was abducting a woman.

The five vanaras thought, “How mean and wretched Ravanais to abduct a young woman at his advanced age.”

Ravana was a well known demon figure whom Valihad defeated in battle.

They made a peace treaty and Ravana visited the kingdom from time to time.

A pouch had fallen from the chariot . It appeared to be a torn piece of sari with some jewelry, they were reluctant to open it.

Hanuman intuited that the bundle of ornaments belonged to the abducted lady.

He guessed it was her intention to leave it as a marker to assist a search party who might be looking for her.

A few days later news reached that Ravana had abducted Sri Rama’s wife, Sita .

When the five vanaras recollected what they had recently seen in the sky, they immediately understood that it was Sita in the chariot .

However, they gave it no more thought.

Hanuman enjoyed bathing in the Pampa river which emptied in the valley forming the Pampa Lake.

The Pampa lake was know to have miraculous healing properties.

Sugriva and Hanuman often sat there observing the natural beauty of the spot.

One day they saw two young men walking along the shore of the lake.

Hanuman felt warmth within his heart however Sugrivabecame frightened and hid in a cave.

Hanuman asked Sugriva “Oh friend, why are you so afraid?”

Sugriva explained, “Have you seen the strangers, their gait reveals they are great warriors! It is possible that my brother Vali contracted them to find me and have me killed.”

Hanuman said to Sugriva “Friend, it is not so.

Have we not heard Sri Rama and Lakshmanaare searching for Rama’s abducted wife Sita ?”

Page 26



Sugriva chastised Hanuman saying “Rama and Lakshmana are sons of a king.

These two strangers are wearing bark garments and matted hair. How can they be princes?”

When Sugriva spoke this way Hanuman became meek and started to have some doubts. He also became a bit frightened.

Sugriva regained his composure and said “ Hanuman you are a good diplomat. You can outwit anyone by your fine words.

Moreover you can take any form you desire. Why don’t you approach them as a young student of veda ?”

“Gradually enter into conversation with them and elicit the details of their journey. Make them speak to you .

If Vali has sent them steer them in the wrong direction.

If not soften their attitude and bring them to me. They maybe of some help to us in the future.”

“Hanuman in such strategies your skill is inimitable and highly purposeful!”

Hanuman’s Crossword #4Hearing words of praise Hanuman was reminded of his power of diplomacy and his ability to take any form.

Hanuman agreed and disguised as a veda boy , he approached the two strangers.

Hanuman initiated conversation. “Sirs! Who are you? You appear to be the sons of a sage, why do you carry bows and arrows?

Where do you get your food? You have such healthy bodies.

In these places, we do not have the nutritious roots and fruits . Are you searching for food?”

They simply smiled and did not even ask him whohe was.

He continued speaking slowly making mention of Vali and Sugriva . Still the strangers did not speak or react.

With relief Hanuman concluded that they were not interested in Sugriva.

Hanuman could not deny his heart’s glow and happiness towards these strangers.

Hanuman started thinking deeply about the elder of the two strangers.

“I see a continuous flow of compassion from him. This flow is energizing me and filling me with his grace.

Was he my guru? Is he Lord Vishnu whom I worship daily?

Looking at his lotus feet I visualize truth, knowledge and bliss.”

Thus feeling confident, Hanuman , told them the truth.

“Sugriva stays on the nearby mountain.

I am his minister. My name is Hanuman. I am the son of Vayu.

I am really a vanara, but by the power of mantra, I came to you disguised as a veda boy .”

The strangers’ faces lit up with happiness on hearing this news.

HANUMAN FELT GREAT HAPPINESS IN HIS HEART ON SEEING SRI RAMA

The elder one smiled sweetly. It was like the pleasant moon shining.

Turning to his younger brother he said, “Lakshmana, we have been searching for Sugriva and now his minister finds us!

Speak to him with a smile.”

“This Hanuman is not an ordinary one. I feel that he is a great scholar.

Only a scholar of the vedas can speak so well. He did not commit even a single mistake in speech.”

Lakshmana said, “We have heard of Sugriva . We will do as your king requests.”

Lakshmana then told Hanuman that his brother was Sri Rama the eldest son of King Dasharatha.

His father was compelled to banish Sri Rama to the forest in order to fulfill a promise made to his younger wife Kaikayi.

To keep his father’s word Sri Rama had left Ayodhya with his brother and wife and come to the forest.

Sugriva cherishes your friendship.

He kindly requests you to visit him on the mountain.”

Lakshmana spoke, “My elder brother is righteous.

He is capable of giving protection to all the worlds.

Such a one is now seeking refuge with Sugriva .”

Hanuman said, “Oh my friends, Sugriva should have come to welcome you himself, but by his good fortune you have mercifully come to us.”

Hanuman took the brothers to meet Sugriva.

With fire as witness Sri Rama and Sugriva swore their mutual friendship.
