Mangalmandir - Maruti Edition (PDF) - Sai Kirtan Group

The wicked demons took to playing dirty tricks. Becoming invisible in the sky.
Showering sand, blood and others from above they were trying to out do the army of the
monkeys with their illusion magic. But when the Lord of all magic is present in the battle,
how can the insignificant illusive magic work?
Yes, momentarily the monkeys felt despair. But immediately Sri Raghunaathji‘s
invincible arrows destroyed the magic of the demons. And the demons‘ magic fell
negated. Therefore the deomons were forced to abandon their magic and resort to face to
face fight. The deomons were no match to the monkeys in hand to hand fight. Because
the monkeys were very agile. Whereas the demons were lazy and heavy bodied. So huge
demons had to come to battle with ordinary looking monkeys.
The golden bodied Mahaavirji‘s battle style was quite extraordinary. Wherever the
demon army was outdone, there Mahaavirji was present gnashing his teeth. Just by the
sound of the gnashing of his teeth, the demons were losing their breath. Hanumaanji‘s
attack was lightening. Wherever he fell, from there the demons either fled towards
Lankaa or were done forever.
And from what direction and when Hanumaanji would come? Nobody could tell! So
battling with the ordinary mankeys, the demons had to lookout in all the directions. The
demons had incessant fear of Hanumaanji coming. Here he come ! Here he comes!
And when the son of wind deity did come, he would strike them at wind speed. Like a
thunderbolt falling on the demons, his mere falling would squash numerous demons.
Many would have their skel;etos smashed to pulp and heads of many would be sheered
like coconuts by strike of his hand..
By his one fist, the darling of Vaayu used to pick up several demons and squeezed them
them like taking water of cloth. At times he would fling the demons like ball in the sky,
and other times holding them by their feet splash them on the ground.
From wherever Mahavirji retired there streams of demons blood flowed. Bones would
pile up and dead bodies mounted elsewhere.
And his long tail would captivate hundreds of demon in one go. And before the demons
could attempt to wriggle out of the hold, they would be struck in whole lots on the
ground. Some would have their eyes blown out while others would get their bodies
smeared all over with their blood and bow out of this world.
Mahaavirji‘s single shout would instill fear into the hearts of the demons. Even the
biggest of the demons feared to step in the direction of Mahaavirji.
On the first day of the battle, Avani, Atikaay,and A-kampan – the great chiefs of Raavan
became sacrifices by Mahaavirji‘s hand blows.
It was not just on the battle field that the demons were frightened of Maaruti. In the
evenong after the battle of the day, Mahaavirji would go strolling in the streets of Lankaa.
By the roar of Mahaavirji, the women and the children of the demons would hide totally
quiet in their houses. Sometimes even while the day battle was in progress he would do
strolling in Lankaa. If a demon hiding from the battle was observed, then he would drag
him by his feet in the streets of Lankaa. Why should any ill demon depart by mere death.
Why should they not die facing Bhagwaan Raam in the battle field? At least the demons
should get the benefit of the coming of the Lord to Lankaa.
After every arrival of son of Wind in Lankaa, some calamity would ensue. The barrels of
intoxicants would be smashed up by the blow of his feet. While the beds of others would
take flight in air. The roofs of some would collapse and the golden domes of others
