temple was a yagna kund with just freshly offered sacrificial Hut-dravya (herbs and<br />
eatables for the fire sacrifice) the frangrance of which graced the environment.<br />
Maaruti fell into thought: ―Filled with demons, in this sinful Lankaa only monsters of the<br />
dark forces opposed to Go-Brahmin, deities and yagna-sacrifice reside. How can there be<br />
any Vaishnavs here? Is this not demonic illusion prepared by Raavan to entice Sitaaji?<br />
And just then in this pensive mood of Hanumaan came a nectar like voice in his ears:<br />
―Sri Raam Jai Raam Jai Raam Jai Raam<br />
Sri Raam Jai Raam Jai Raam Jai Raam‖<br />
Waking in the last quarter of the night, Vibhishan was taking bath. The chanting<br />
remembrance of the name of Sri Raam was also coming from his bathroom.<br />
Standing in middle of the courtyard, Hanumaanji looked around. He was convinced<br />
despite him not finding Sitaaji in his search, there was a devotee of Raam was living here.<br />
And finishing his bath he will come here.<br />
Thinking thus Hanumaanji was overjoyed. And he also engaged himself in singing the<br />
glory name of Bhagwaan!<br />
―Sri Raam Jai Raam Jai Raam Jai Raam<br />
Sri Raam Jai Raam Jai Raam Jai Raam‖<br />
Suddenly he became conscious of the footsteps of Vibhishan, the devotee got vision of<br />
the coming devotee from afar. And Mahaavir Maaruti took the form of a Brahmin. In the<br />
form of Brahmin stepping forward, Hanumaanji said: ―Jai Sri SiyaaRaam!‖<br />
The devotee supremeVibhishan observed standing in front of him a Brahmin deity adored<br />
with tilak on his forehead and rosary in his hand. Immediately running forward, he fell to<br />
the feet of the Brahmin. After saluting thus, he stood up clasping his hands and said:<br />
―Vipr-var! How come you are here? In this city where only all demons reside who devour<br />
cows, Brahmins. Here no true Brahmin has access to enter. It is my great fortune that at<br />
the beginning dawn I have vision of great person like you. Lord, pray tell me where you<br />
come from? And who are you? Are you Sanat-kumar, Shukdev, Naarad, Angiraa, or are<br />
you a muni-ishvar from amongst the messengers of the Lord? Or are you the real<br />
Raghunaath come here to grace his servant in the form os a Brahmin?‖<br />
Where Lord‘s devotee meets his other devotee, then where is there any difference<br />
between them? Hanumaanji immediately changed to his true Form from that of Brahmin<br />
form.<br />
Both were silent. Both were filled with ecstacy. Both‘s eyes were filled tears of love.<br />
Both‘s condition was eager and longing.<br />
Both devotees despite not knowing each other hugged themselves.<br />
And the meeting of a Lord‘s devotee with another devotee, how can the lifeless pen<br />
describe?<br />
Contact with Sitaaji<br />
[ 10 ]<br />
The oneness of the heart makes one forget everything. This lovely meeting of Vibhishan<br />
made Mahaavir forget all his difficulties. Giving in short details of his identity<br />
Hanumaanji related the purpose for his coming to Lankaa.<br />
―Brother!‖ with emotional voice Vibhishan said: ―While I have been born in the demonic<br />
dynasty, I am also brother to Raavan. How can anyone be more unfortunate? I am sinful<br />
