Hanuman Leelas – Ram addresses Hanuman as twice of Lakshman
Ram and Lakshman reach the Rishyamukh mountain in search of help to find Mother Sita who has been kidnapped by Ravan. Sugriv, a Vaanar prince is living on this mountain with his close associates in fear of his brother Bali who has banished him. Sugriv sees Ram and Lakshman approaching and orders Hanuman to get information about them thinking them to be associates of Bali and therefore his enemies. Hanuman adopts the guise of a priest and playfully questions the brothers. When he realizes that his master Lord Ram is present before him, he falls at the feet of Ram and offers to carry the brothers on his back, up the mountain to meet Sugriv. Ram then addresses Hanuman as being twice of his dear brother Lakshman. This leaves Lakshman pondering. Watch the video to find out how Lakshman’s confusion gets resolved.
