Ramayana story
Lord Hanuman Story: Many versions of Ramayana are prevalent in Hinduism, of which Maharishi Valmiki’s Ramayana and Goswami Tulsidas’ Ramcharitmanas are the most popular. But do you know that the first Ramayana was written by Bajrangbali Hanuman himself? And what is even more shocking is that he himself immersed it in the sea. Many inspirational stories related to Lord Ram, Hanuman ji and Maharishi Valmiki are found in Hindu religious texts and folk beliefs.
One of these very interesting stories is that Hanuman ji himself had written Ramayana, but later he immersed it in the sea. This story gives a big message not only of devotion but also of sacrifice and humility. Let us know why Hanuman ji had to do this.
Hanumad Ramayana written on the rocks of Himalayas
According to mythology, after the coronation of Lord Ram, when everything went well in Ayodhya, Hanuman ji went to the Himalayas to do penance. There he had carved the entire Ram story with his nails on huge rocks in the Himalayas to describe the glory of Lord Ram. It is known as Hanumad Ramayana.
When Maharishi Valmiki was disappointed
On the other hand, Maharishi Valmiki had also completed Ramayana. When he reached Mount Kailash to dedicate his creation to Lord Shiva, there he saw Hanumanji’s Ramayana already written. When Valmiki ji read Ramayana written by Hanuman ji, he was stunned. It was so beautiful, devotional and excellent that Valmiki ji became emotional. He felt that in front of this wonderful creation of Hanuman ji, no one would ask about his Ramayana in the future and his years of hard work would be in vain.
Hanuman ji’s great sacrifice
When Hanuman ji saw the disappointment on Maharishi Valmiki’s face, he asked him the reason. Valmiki ji clearly expressed his concern. Seeing the sorrow in the heart of his devotee and a sage, the generous hearted Hanuman ji did not think even for a moment. Hanuman ji placed Maharishi Valmiki on one shoulder and picked up the huge rock on the other shoulder and walked towards the sea. After reaching there, he dedicated his written Ramayana at the feet of Lord Rama and immersed it in the sea water. He said that he had written this Ramayana not for any fame, but only to express his devotion. It is believed that even today that Ramayana is safe in the depths of the ocean.
