Hanuman was flying further along when a huge demoness, Surasa, blocked his path. Surasa was the mother of serpents and had been sent to test Hanuman.

Standing on Mahendra mountain, Hanuman offered prayers to all the gods, especially Vayu, and with the name of Sri Rama in his heart and on his lips, he took off over the ocean towards the south, where Lanka lay. In the ocean lay Mainaka mountain that had taken shelter in the ocean to escape persecution
Hanuman’s glory lay in his humility. It is only when he was told about them, that he realised the great hidden powers he possessed. As he grew in size and heard Jambavan talk about these qualities, he knew he could achieve the purpose for which Rama had sent him with the troop. The vanara sena
When all movement of air stopped, everything came to a standstill and human beings, devas, asuras, animals and plants, all began to struggle for breath. All the gods, including Indra, went to Vayu in desperation and begged his pardon for hurting his son. When Vayu forgave them, Hanuman was revived and blessed by them with
The vanara sena decided not to fast but settled down to decide how to go across the sea to Lanka. They calculated the distance each of them could leap, but none could cover the distance in one leap! Jambavan, the wise old bear, suddenly turned to Hanuman, sitting quietly as the others discussed the matter.
Spring had arrived by the time they reached the seaside. They still had no clue about Seeta. If they returned without the information, Prince Angad said Sugreeva would be angry and would kill him. He decided to fast unto death. When the Prince fasted, how could the others eat? They all sat in despair waiting
When Hanuman was leaving Kishkindha, Rama gave him a ring so that Seeta might know that he came as a messenger from Rama. The bond between Rama and Hanuman was so strong that Rama was sure Hanuman would find Seeta. However, as the days passed, there was no sign of Seeta anywhere and the vanara
Sugreeva became King of Kishkindha and made Angad Crown Prince. The rainy season had arrived. After the coronation celebrations, everybody relaxed. Sugreeva was living a life of comfort after a long time, so he lost all idea of restraint and enjoyed himself in lavish living. Rama was waiting for him to fulfil his part of
Vaali was a great warrior. He was stunned that Rama had shot him while hiding behind a tree. As he lay dying, Rama and Lakshmana came up to him. The dying Vaali looked at Rama and asked him, “You are a warrior and a prince, renowned for your right conduct. Why have you killed me
Sugreeva was thoroughly upset. He accused Rama of not wanting to kill Vaali. But Rama had a genuine reason for not being able to shoot. Vaali and Sugreeva were exactly alike in height and build and wore the same dress and ornaments. So, it was difficult to tell them apart. Rama asked Lakshmana to fetch
Sugreeva was terrified of Vaali’s strength. When Vaali killed demon Dundubhi, he had flung his carcass on Rishyamooka mountain, disturbing Matanga rishi’s meditation. The rishi cursed him, so he dared not come to the mountain. Now Sugreeva wanted to be sure that Rama was strong enough to deal with Vaali. Lakshmana realised this and told
An unbreakable vow was sworn by Sugreeva and Rama to seal their friendship and alliance. Hanuman lit a fire as witness to the vow, as was customary. Sugreeva called for a bundle that had been found in the forest. Seeta had dropped her jewels as Ravan had fled with her, and the monkeys, finding some
When there was no sign of Vaali, Sugreeva was crowned King. But Vaali returned. He thought Sugreeva had been trying to kill him and take his place as King. He was furious with Sugreeva for sealing him in the cave and accused him of wanting his kingdom. He chased Sugreeva out and took over the
Vaali and Sugreeva were brothers, deeply attached to each other. Vaali’s anger and Sugreeva’s haste had caused a great rift in the affection of the two brothers. Vaali was a very strong, powerful king, but he was extremely impulsive. He had once been challenged by a demon, Mayavi. During the combat, Mayavi fled into a
Sugreeva saw Hanuman returning with the two strangers and was satisfied.
