• The wider story of Hanuman comes from the Ramayana, where he becomes one of Lord Rama’s most devoted companions.
• Hanuman encountered Rama and Lakshmana while they were searching for Sita, who had been taken to Lanka by Ravana.
• Recognizing Rama’s purpose, Hanuman offered his service and became an important member of the search for Sita.

• Before returning, Hanuman demonstrated his strength by confronting Ravana’s forces and setting fire to parts of Lanka.
• During the battle against Ravana, Lakshmana was seriously injured and needed a medicinal herb to recover.
• Hanuman travelled to the mountains to find the required medicine but was unable to identify the exact herb.
• He therefore carried the entire mountain back so that the necessary medicine could be obtained.
• This famous episode represents determination, strength, intelligence, and complete dedication to Rama’s mission.
