How can Bhagwaan like the separation from his devotee? But when Bhagwaan proclaims his command to perform Bhagwaan‘s own task, then there is no choice but to separate. Hanumaanji touched his head and heart at the feet of Bhagwaan Raam and chanting ―Raam Raam‖ departed towards Ruhsyamukh mountain. At the feet of Sri Raam [ 5 ] Taking on board the command of Sri Raam, Hanumaanji arrived at his parents and related Sri Raam‘s command to them. From early childhood, the valorous Hanumaanji had heard from his mother praise of Sugriv in Raamaayan epic story telling. He therefore already had certain attraction to Sugriv. He now obtained permission of his parents. Taking their permission and taking leave of his friends, he left for Pampaapur. Sugriv heard of his arrival and welocomed Hanumaan. The forest king Vaali also welcomed Hanumaanji and asked of the welfare of his parents. Vaali had a desire that Hanumaanji become one of his inner circle of friends, but Sugriv would not let him depart. Sugriv made him his close friend and chief minister. He therefore became the foremost amongst the battalions of the monkeys. The enemosity between Sugriv and Vaali had been escalating for some time. So taking advice from Hanumaanji, Sugriv decided to live on the Rushyamukh mountain.. While departing from Pampaapur, Vaali took away all possessions of Sugriv. Despite so, with the aid of friend Hanumaanji, he still managed to live with grandeur of royalty. With the presence of a true friend, calamity does not feel like calamity. Even after all his possessions taken by Vaali, Sugriv kept his friendship unbroken with Hanumaanji. Then why should Hanumaanji lack in his friendship with him? Even so, Sugriv was not without fear on Rushyamukh mountain. Because he did not know when Vaali would send his spies to murder him. This caused him fear constantly. Anyone who passed by the mountain, Sugriv would have doubt as to whether they were spies sent by Vaali. At this time, mother Jaanki was abducted. The agitated Sri Raam and Laxman were coming south to Rushyamukh mountain in search of Sitaaji. From the peak of the mountain, Sugriv noticed the two armed brothers coming. After some thought Sugriv said to Hanumaanji: Brother! One white and another dark complexioned men are arriving in our borders. Can you please go and discover the reason for their coming. While conversing to them if you discover they are spies sent by Vaali, then let me know by secret sign from there so I can prepare to move from our location here. I am convinced they are certainly spies sent by Vaali.‖ In human body the heart is one element such that whatever thoughts are in it, they will present themselves before him. In Sugriv‘s heart, there was enemosity towards Vaali, so he could only doubt of spies. It is no surprise! But Hanumaanji felt a certain affection towards the visitors, although he did not recognise them from a distance. Nevertheless, Hanumaanji experienced great pleasure in his body. He thought even if Sugriv has commanded me to get recognition of the two valorous men, I will immediately fall at their feet and become contented. I will kill two birds with one stone! The vision of the two great men fulfilling command of Sugriv – for me they can only both be for my welfare. 96 | P a g e

―As you wish‖, saying so the great warrior Hanumaanji jumped from the high peak of the mountain. Coming down to the valley below, he changed his form. He already had the accomplishment of changing his form, so he took the form of a Brahmin and walked forward. Despite Sugriv‘s assumption that they were both spies of Vaali, he had no such doubt, but obeying the master‘s command, he felt appropriate to comply by remaining a decoy. In the form of a Brahmin he approached the two princes. The two with dark and light complexion, their beautiful faces, delightful forms and charisma – seeing thus Hanumaanji became ecstatic. Reaching them he bowed to the feet of Raam and Laxman. A Brahmin bowing to the feet of a kshtriya was against the principles of the shaashtras. So Bhagwaan Raam bending down lifted up the Brahmin form Hanumaanji, and clasping both his hands Sri Raam questioned: ―Fellow vopra, we are kshatriya sons. Due to the circumstances we have had to take on the robes of mendicants. Still by your birth we are obliged to worship to you. Pray tell us, who are you? Pray tell us what can we do for you?‖ ―Bhagwan,‖ said Hanumaanji, ―I will give my introduction later. If it is not too much trouble, then with such delicate child bodies why have you come to these lands afar? In these dense forests, thorns, sharp stones and difficult paths, your bodies have withered. In these forests abide terrible demons. Such wonderful kshatriya children like you, why do you take on so much pain?‖ ―Pray tell me who are you? I am very impressed by your wonderful forms. You feel like the great divine Brahmaa, Vishnu or Mahaadev. Or the very Indra, Varun, Agni or Nar- Naaraayan who have come to sanctify this earth. I am very eager to know.‖ With a mild smile, Bhagwaan Raam said: ―Dear brother Vipra, we are not Indra, Varun or Kuber. We ae just ordinary princes. My name is Raam. And this is my younger brother Laxman. We are both sons of the Lord of Ayodhyaa the great king Dashrath and come to the forest with daughter of Janak Sitaa. Due to adverse fate, some wicked demon has abducted Sitaadevi. We brothers are roaming in search of her everywhere. You seem like a Brahmin roaming in the forest. If you have any news on the whereabouts of Sitaadevi, then pray tell us. Or if it is possible then help us to search for her.‖ Listening to such courteous sayings, great warrior Hanumaanji was elated with joy, How can the pen of no feeling write?. From his eyes began to flow tears of joy. What he had heard in the Raamaayan from mother Anjanaadevi, he felt that story was taking real form here. The feet of Sri Raam that Bhagwaan Shankar had given vision of, that very Raam in child form was standing in front of him – that very thought made him lose him his senses. By the first saying of Sri Raam, he was convinced that he was his chosen deity, but knowing all the subsequent details he could not stop himself. ―Glory to Bhagwaan Raam!‖ saying thus he reeled at the feet of Sri Raam. With the flow of his tears, he as if washed the feet of Sri Raam. He took the dust of the feet of Sri Raam to his head. He now did not fancy at all the pretence any more. Once the feet of of the Lord‘s feet are reached, how can pretence ever last? Hanumaanji abandoning the form Brahmin, took to his real form. Lifting his child friend unparalleled devotee Hanumaanji by both his hands he took him in his embrace heart to heart. Where the thousand faced Shesh fails to fully describe the meeting of devotee and the Lord, then how can this lifeless pen approach the subject? The devotee rarely gets direct vision of the Lord. The joy of the hearts of both had gone into long swings here. 97 | P a g e

How can Bhagwaan like the separation from his devotee? But when Bhagwaan proclaims<br />

his command to perform Bhagwaan‘s own task, then there is no choice but to separate.<br />

Hanumaanji touched his head and heart at the feet of Bhagwaan Raam and chanting<br />

―Raam Raam‖ departed towards Ruhsyamukh mountain.<br />

At the feet of Sri Raam<br />

[ 5 ]<br />

Taking on board the command of Sri Raam, Hanumaanji arrived at his parents and<br />

related Sri Raam‘s command to them. From early childhood, the valorous Hanumaanji<br />
