Ramayana
The Ramayana by the sage Valmiki is the great and the most popular epics of the Sanskrit language, and is dated to approximately 200 B.C.E. There are several other versions of the epic story in the countless regional languages found in Asia. Eve though the same core narrative is used (or referred to) in most of these versions, there are noteworthy differences among them.
Secrets of Lord Hanuman in Ramayana
Lord Bajrangbali (Hanuman) is the embodiment of humility, nice speech, great intelligence and great power.
Lord Hanuman mistakes rising sun for a juicy Mango and flies towards the Sun to eat it. Lord Indra had to intervene and strike him unconscious. But later all the Gods feel sorry for the little one and bless him with immortality and all their powers. They also bless him that he may not be defeated by any celestial weapon.
During the war when Indrajeet overpowers the entire Rama’s army with celestial Cobra weapon, everyone is succumbed including Rama & Lakshmana except Vibheesha and Hanuman. At that time they approached Jambavan to inquire how he was doing. Then Jambavan asks “Where is and How is Hanuma”. Hanuma humbly replies “I am here and fine”. At that time Vibheeshana asks Jambavan “Why did you not inquire about Rama or Lakshmana first?” Jambavan replies “If Hanuman is fine, and then everything will be fine. If Hanuman is not fine, then everything is lost”
When Rama and Hanuman first come face to face, Rama can’t stop himself from praising Hanuman, just after listening to few words. Rama says, which ever king has him (Hanuman) as his minister, that King will never face any defeat.

When once Rama asked Hanuman of what does he think of himself? Hanuman replies “When I think of myself as body, I am your servant. When I think myself as an individual soul/mind, I am part of you. When I consider myself as Brahman, I am You”
When God Hanuman came back to after talking to Sita Devi and burning the complete Lanka, he narrates the story in great detail to his awaiting friends like Angada, Jambavan and the entire Monkey army. But when he comes to Rama, he narrates the entire episode in one sentence. That is shows humility in front his master.
Lord Bajrangbali is the only one who got the blessing of a Hug from Rama:(except Sita of course) When Rama hears about Hanuman’s victory of finding, talking and comforting Sita with nectarous words, Rama says that he can’t repay Hanuman’s help with anything except with a Hug.

At the end of Rama’s avatar, Rama invited everyone to come along with him to the Vaikunta. But Hanuman denies the invitation, saying that he prefers to hang around the earth listening to the divine stories of Rama. To this day, it is said that wherever Rama’s story is told, Hunuman comes there in some form to listen to the story. It is said that he listens to the story with folded hands with flowing tears of Joy and gratitude.
While Hanuman is one of the central characters in the ancient Hindu epic Ramayana, the evidence of devotional worship to him is missing in the texts and archeological sites of ancient and most of the medieval period.

· Chiranjivi (immortal)
