Months passed by. Sugreev soon became so engrossed in worldly pleasures that he completely forgot his promise to help Ram find Sita. On the other hand, Ram’s restlessness was increasing day by day. He said, “Lakshman, I think we should remind Sugreev about his promise. Talk to Hanuman about this, as he visits us daily.” […]
Ram had promised Sugreev that he would help him kill Bali and get his kingdom back. All of them left for Kishkindha. As they reached Kishkindha, Ram instructed Sugreev to challenge Bali for a battle. He said, “When you are fighting with him, I will shoot an arrow and kill Bali.” Sugreev agreed to do
Sugreev heard Ram’s story patiently and then said, “O Lord, I think I have seen Mother Sita. I heard her cries once when I was sitting in the forest with Hanuman. She was shouting out your name. A cruel demon was carrying her in a Pushpak chariot!” He said further, “Lord, Mother Sita threw down
When Ram heard how Bali banished Sugreev out of Kishkindha and took away his wife and son, he felt sympathetic for Sugreev. Meanwhile, Hanuman’s sincerity and gentleness impressed him as well. “Your words are so soothing, Hanuman. You are so humble and intelligent! Sugreev is, indeed, very fortunate to have a minister like you,” Ram
Hanuman disguised himself as a Brahmin and approached the strangers. When he closely looked at them, he noticed a princely charm in them. “Could you tell me who you are and what brings you here?” Hanuman humbly asked them. “We are here to meet Sugreev. But why are you interrogating us?” Lakshman countered. Hanuman replied
Lord Ram was exiled from Ayodhya for fourteen years. One day, his wife was kidnapped by Ravan, the demon-king of Lanka. Ram and his brother Lakshman set out in search of her. On their way, they reached Mount Rishyamukh. Sugreev was sitting with his ministers when he suddenly noticed two simply dressed brothers wandering near
When Hanuman came to know that Sugreev was in trouble, he immediately went to see him. “My dear friend Sugreev! The truth will come to light sooner or later. Don’t worry,” he said. Hanuman suggested that they all should live on Mount Rishyamukh, where Bali would not enter for fear of death. Bali, on the
Hanuman had promised Lord Surya that he would always remain by Sugreev’s side and protect him from all harm. Later, Hanuman was sent to Pampapur by his father Kesari to gain knowledge in politics. Here, he met Sugreev and they formed a lifelong friendship. There lived a monkey king named Rikshaviraj. He had two sons–Bali
When Hanuman challenged Shani Dev, his anger knew no bounds. He stared at Hanuman and tried to burn him, but in vain. The gods had bestowed many boons upon Hanuman in his childhood. As a result, he had tremendous strength. Lord Surya had blessed Hanuman with the Garima siddhi, by which he could change his
After imparting all knowledge to Hanuman, Surya gave him one more responsibility. He wanted Hanuman to bring his wayward son Shani Dev back on the right track. “Shani is the cause of my sorrow now. Can you help him mend his ways and bring him back to me?” Surya asked. Hanuman nodded and set off
Hanuman mastered everything under the able guidance of the Sun-god. Now, it was time for him to offer his guru-dakshina. Hanuman said, “O respected teacher! With your blessings, I have learnt the path of virtue, honesty, as well as my responsibilities. What can I offer you in return?” At first, Surya refused to accept anything.
Hanuman asked Narad, “How will I know that I am good in music?” Narad put his Veena on a rock, and sat down on the ground. He said to Hanuman, “Sing a tune.” Hanuman selected that tune which would melt a rock, and began to sing it. The rock melted, and Narad’s Veena floated in
Once, Hanuman and Kesari were sitting at the bank of a river. They heard a sound, a very nice sound. Kesari said, “I am sure that sage Narad is coming here; I know the sound of his Veena (a musical instrument).” Hanuman asked, “Who is this person?” Kesari replied, “He is a very great soul.
The old sage looked out of the door again, and this time he saw the elephant as well! So, he quickly bolted the door and decided to use the window as an exit. While he was climbing out of the window, the sage saw Hanuman sitting on a tree outside. The sage shouted, “So you
Hanuman used to play with elephants and tigers in his childhood. One day, he caught hold of a very wise elephant and a tiger, together. He was holding the elephant by its tusk and the tiger by its tail. Hanuman was enjoying this act. And then, he saw an ashram. The sage who lived in
