SRI RAMA DEFEATS VALI

Sri Rama and Sugriva shared their joys and

sorrows. Sugriva told Sri Rama of his brother Vali , who

took his wife by force and even tried to killed him.

Sri Rama promised to kill Vali and restore Sugriva’s

wife to him. In return, Sugriva promised to locate Sita, who

was kidnapped by Ravana, and return her to Sri Rama.

Sugriva told the story of a lady being abducted

and showed Sri Rama and Lakshmana the bundle

of ornaments she dropped as she was taken away.

Sri Rama was upset and asked his brother Lakshmana

to identify the jewelry.

Lakshmana was only able to identify her anklets as he

worshiped her feet daily .

Sri Rama asked Sugriva to tell him about Vali.

Sugriva told Sri Rama about Vail’s strength and courage

He described the incident where Vali killed and

flung a huge demon across the mountain .

Sugriva showed Sri Rama the huge skeleton of the demon

Sri Rama was not phased, and with a simple flick of his

big toe kicked the skeleton many miles away.

Though Sugriva was impressed he was not convinced

Sri Rama could defeat Vali .

Sugriva showed Sri Rama a grove of sala (palm) trees

and told him that Vali could pluck and shake all the leaves off

with a simple touch. Sri Rama to prove his strength took an

arrow and shot it towards a sala tree . To Sugriva’s

amazement, Sri Rama did not only split one tree but SEVEN.

STORY continuedSTORY continued……..

SSri Rama, his brother Lakshmana and Sugriva

went to Kishkinda. Once there, Sugriva challenged his brother Vali to a single battle. Vali quickly agreed.

As the battle started Sri Rama and Lakshmana hid in the bushes waiting to shoot Vali. However, Sugriva and

Vali were so similar Sri Rama could not tell them apart.

Sugriva retreated and came to Sri Rama very upset. Sri Rama explained he could not tell the difference.

He sent Sugriva back into battle with a garland of flowers around his neck.

Vali was fierce and as he was going to defeat Sugriva, Sri Rama released an arrow blessed by Lord Brahma (maha astra).

Vali fell to the ground.

Vali was very upset with Sri Rama for hiding in the bushes and shooting him.

Sri Rama told him it was his duty to protect dharma (righteousness) and sathya (truth). He showed Vali he was at fault in taking Sugriva’s wife and wishing to kill his brother.

Vali asked forgiveness of his brother and entrusted Sugriva

with the care of this wife Tara and son Angadaand died while chanting the name of Lord Rama.

Tara was overcome with sadness and asked Sri Rama how could he do such a thing.

Sri Rama asked Hanuman to console Tara.

Hanuman told Tara “You are weeping for someone for whom it is not proper to grieve.”The wisdom of these words consoled her in her sorrow.

Sugriva was crowned King of Kishkindha and Hanuman resumed as the Prime Minster .

It was now King Sugriva’s turn to keep his promise. Do you remember Sugriva’s promise to Sri Rama?

Hanuman’s Crossword #5THE SEARCH FOR SITA BEGINS

It was now Sugriva’s turn to help Lord Rama .

Sri Rama had said to Sugriva, “When sarat (Moonshine

season) begins, you can keep your promise and begin the

search for Sita .

The season sarat began, and Sugriva did not

remember his promise to Lord Rama

Lord Rama became impatient. He sent Lakshmana

with a message to Sugriva, reminding him of his

promise and that, “a person who forgets kindness and

neglects his friends will be ruined.”

On the advice of Hanuman and with the other vanara

commanders , Sugriva went to Lord

Rama and prayed for pardon.

The vanara warriors were immediately mobilized

and Sugriva dispatched groups of warriors in all four

directions to search for Sita .

The most important commanders and soldiers were sent to

the south to find Ravana’s kingdom of Lanka. This

group included Hanuman, Angada, Nila and a

great bear warrior Jambavan . Angada the

crown prince, was the group’s leader.

Lord Rama handed Hanuman his signet ring and

said, “when you find Sita , give her this ring and tell

her you are my messenger. She will believe you.”

Hanuman humbly touched Sri Rama’a feet and

said, “oh Lord, I will obey your order!’ Jambhavan Hanuman Sampati Angada Nila

The warriors were given one month by Sugriva to

find Sita. Within the one month the warriors

sent in three directions returned, stating they could not

find Sita’s location.

Chanting the glory of Sri Rama , Hanuman and the

others searched for Lanka .

Crossing a wide desert they arrived at the Vindhya

Mountains disappointed.

Hopeful of finding food and water, the vanaras linked hands

and entered the long, dark cave .

They spotted a tapasvini (female sage)

Sva-yam-pra-bha, the cave’s caretaker.

Sampati said, “I can see Sita being held

captive on the island of Lanka . It is far away,

1,200 miles and is protected by the fierce demoness

Lankini .” They discussed who could cross the

ocean, find Sita and return.

Angada and the other soldiers revealed

their strengths but none had the power to accomplish this task.

Jambavan approached Hanuman who was

sitting alone and reminded him of his many powers, and

praised his courage. As his dormant powers came alive,

Hanuman’s form began to grow and glow in

radiance. Hanuman took a giant leap

and flew southwards across the ocean.
