Hanuman Warns the Monkeys to Return to Kishkindha “Om Sri Lakshmi Narashimhan Nahama” Valmiki Ramayana – Kishkinda Kanda – Chapter 54 Hanuman Warns the Monkeys to Return to Kishkindha Summary Hanuma advises Angada to not to desert the mainstream kingdom to establish a separate one, which will definitely attract the fury of Sugreeva. Hanuma uses political tactics in pacifying Angada, who is utterly terrorized of Sugreeva in the event of the failure of the task under his leadership. Chapter [Sarga] 54 in Detail tathaa bruvati taare tu taaraa adhipati var.hcasi | atha mene hritam raajyam hanumaan angadena tat || 4-54-1 When Lt Tara whose resplendence is similar to moonshine has spoken that way, then Hanuma deemed that Angada is laying siege to that kingdom of Vanara-s. [4-54-1] buddhyaa hi asta a.ngayaa yuktam catur bala samanvitam | catur dasha gunam mene hanumaan vaalinah sutam || 4-54-2 Hanuma considered Vali's son Angada indeed as having eightfold intelligence, fourfold tactics, fourteen traits. [4-54-2] aapuuryamaanam shashvat ca tejo bala paraakramaih | shashinam shukla paksa aadau vardhamaanam iva shriyaa || 4-54-3 brihaspati samam buddhyaa vikrame sadrisham pituh | shushruusamaanam taarasya shukrasya iva pura.ndaram || 4-54-4 bhartuh arthe parishraantam sarva shaastra vishaaradah | abhisa.ndhaatum aarebhe hanumaan a.ngadam tatah || 4-54-5 Angada who is steadily brimming over with his spiritedness, mightiness, valorousness, and waxing like the moon starting from day one of White Fortnight of a month, who is comparable to Brihaspati, the Jupiter, in sagacity, who mirrors up his father Vali in intrepidity, but who is now assiduously attentive to the rebellious teachings of Lt. Tara, like Indra who once listened to the un-listenable teachings of demon's mentor, namely Shukracaarya, as that Angada is overly enervated to fulfill the concerns of the king Sugreeva. Then Hanuma who is the scholar in all Page 1 of 5 “Om Sri Lakshmi Narashimhan Nahama” Valmiki Ramayana – Kishkinda Kanda – Chapter 54 scriptures started to confederate the confidence of Angada with the present regime of Sugreeva. [4-54-3, 4, 5] sa caturnaam upaayaanaam tritiiyam upavarnayan | bhedayaamaasa taan sarvaan vaanaraan vaakya sa.mpadaa || 4-54-6 Hanuma then rhetorically [relating to] started to the schismatic [division] secession [retirement] of all those Vanara-s, who are desirous of avoiding Sugreeva and desiring a hideout, exemplifying the third ideation, namely the partition, among the four political ideations, viz., placation [please], presentation, partition, persecution [harass]. [4-54-6] tesu sarvesu bhinnesu tato abhiisaya a.ngadam | bhiisanaih vividhaih vaakyaih kopa upaaya samanvitaih || 4-54-7 When Hanuma made all of the Vanara-s to defect from Angada's idea of defecting Sugreeva, then Hanuma further overawed Angada with diverse and awesome orations containing the fourth ideation, namely the persecutory measures, employable by Sugreeva on defectors. [4- 54-7] tvam samartha tarah pitraa yuddhe taareya vai dhruvam | dridham dhaarayitum shaktah kapi raajyam yathaa pitaa || 4-54-8 "As with your father you are undeniably abler in warfare, oh, the son of Lady Tara, and as with your father you are unquestionably capable enough to sustain the monkey kingdom." Thus Hanuma started to address Angada. [4-54-8] nityam asthira cittaa hi kapayo hari pu.ngava | na aajnaapyam visahisyanti putra daaraan vinaa tvayaa || 4-54-9 "Oh, best monkey, Angada, monkeys will be inconsistent at their will, isn't it! Separated from their sons and wives they cannot tolerate to remain under your control for a long. [4-54-9] Page 2 of 5 “Om Sri Lakshmi Narashimhan Nahama” Valmiki Ramayana – Kishkinda Kanda – Chapter 54 tvaam na ete hi anuyu.njeyuh pratyaksam pravadaami te | yathaa ayam jaa.mbavaan niilah suhotrah ca mahaakapih || 4-54-10 na hi aham te ime sarve saama daana aadibhih gunaih | dandena na tvayaa shakyaah sugriivaat apakarsitum || 4-54-11 "I plainly tell you what is obvious. This Jambavanta, these monkeys like Niila, and great monkey Suhotra and others do not definitely tagalong you, isn't it. Likewise I too do not definitely tagalong you. Such as we are, it will be impossible for you to sidetrack us from Sugreeva using tactics like placation, presentation or even persecution, isn't so! [4-54-10, 11] vigrihya aasanam api aahuh dur.hbalena baliiyasaa | aatma raksaa karah tasmaat na vigrihniita durbalah || 4-54-12 "Even if a might-less is at odds with the mighty he can linger on, so to speak, therefore guard yourself, for no mediocrity will be at odds... [4-54-12] yaam ca imaam manyase dhaatriim etat bilam iti shrutam | etat laksmana baanaanaam iisat kaaryam vidaarane || 4-54-13 "This matter of going underground into that Black Hole which you suppose as a hideout from Sugreeva, as you heard from Lt. Tara and others, but it is a deed of trifle to Lakshmana's arrows, not necessarily for Rama's arrows, in splitting apart whole of that Black Hole in a trice. [4- 54-13] svalpam hi kritam indrena ksipataa hi ashanim puraa | laksmano nishitaih baanaih bhindyaat patra putam yathaa || 4-54-14 "Indeed, once Indra thudded his Thunderbolt on this very underground illusory place, but that act was indeed a trivial deed for that Thunderbolt made a single demon-sized aperture to eliminate a single demon, Maya, which we now call Riksha bila, Black Hole, nevertheless Lakshmana will splinter whole of this Black Hole with his acute arrows, as if it is leafy bowl. [4-54- 14] Page 3 of 5 “Om Sri Lakshmi Narashimhan Nahama” Valmiki Ramayana – Kishkinda Kanda – Chapter 54 laksmanasya ca naaraacaa bahavah santi tat vidhaah | vajra ashani sama sparshaa giriinaam api daarakaah || 4-54-15 "There are numerous iron-arrows with Lakshmana that are kindred to Thunderbolt of Indra, whose punch will be equaling that of Thunderbolt and Lightning Flashes, and which are the splitters of mountains. [4-54-15] avasthaane yadaa eva tvam aasisyasi para.ntapa | tadaa eva harayah sarve tyaksyanti krita nishcayaah || 4-54-16 "As and when you settle down in that underground, more so, an unbefitting place for a crown prince, oh, enemy-burner Angada, then and there all the monkeys will desert you resolvedly. [4-54-16] smara.ntah putra daaraanaam nitya udvignaa bubhuksitaah | kheditaa duhkha shayyaabhih tvaam karisyanti pristhatah || 4-54-17 "Always sulking and reminiscing on their sons and wives, and hungered for the proximity of their kinfolk and hungered for diverse palatability as any monkey would cherish, even so, lamenting on the beds of lament they push you backwards. [4-54-17] sa tvam hiinah suhridbhih ca hita kaamaih ca ba.ndhubhih | trinaat api bhrisha udvignah spa.ndamaanaat bhavisyasi || 4-54-18 "Devoid of good-hearted friends and well-wishing relatives, you will become highly sullen in solitariness. Such as you are you will end up as a highly frightened monkey and you will end up much the same as a seamy shaky piece of straw. [4-54-18] ati ugra vegaa nishitaa ghoraa laksmana saayakaah | apavrittam jighaa.msanto mahaavegaa duraasadaah || 4-54-19 "By far, those fiercely frantic arrows of Lakshmana if targeted to kill you, in case you become a sidestepper from loyalties, will be terrifyingly twingeing. Further, those fierily frenetic arrows are irreversible. [4-54-19] Page 4 of 5 “Om Sri Lakshmi Narashimhan Nahama” Valmiki Ramayana – Kishkinda Kanda – Chapter 54 asmaabhih tu gatam saardham viniitavat upasthitam | aanupuurvyaat tu sugriivo raajye tvaam sthaapayisyati || 4-54-20 "But, if you return to Kishkindha along with us, and if you obediently become Sugreeva's flanker, he establishes you only in kingdom as before. [4-54-20] dharma raajah pitrivyah te priiti kaamo dridha vratah | shucih satya pratijnah ca sa tvaam jaatu na naashayet || 4-54-21 "Your paternal-uncle Sugreeva's gleam is his honesty as he is free of dishonesty, his desire is affection as he is free of aversion, his dedication is staunch as he is free of prevarication, and he himself is exoneration as he is free from exploitation, thus in no way he liquidates you. [4-54-21] priya kaamah ca te maatuh tat artham ca asya jiivitam | tasya apatyam ca na asti anyat tasmaat a.ngada gamyataam || 4-54-22 "He is your mother's well-wisher, the strife of Sugreeva's life is for her only, more so, and there is no other posterity to him than you. Oh, Angada, therefore go back to Kishkindha, rather than deflecting, deviating and deserting your own kingdom. [4-54-22] iti vaalmiiki raamaayane aadi kaavye kiskindha kaande catuh pa.ncaashah sargah Thus, this is the 54th chapter in Kishkindha Kanda of Valmiki Ramayana, the First Epic poem of India.

  • Ramayan Ki Kathayen, Pandemic and the Hindu Way of Life and the Contribution of Hindu Women, Amongst Others
    Hindu Sevika Samiti (UK) Mahila Shibir 2020 East and South Midlands Vibhag FOREWORD INSPIRING AND UNPRECEDENTED INITIATIVE In an era of mass consumerism - not only of material goods - but of information, where society continues to be led by dominant and parochial ideas, the struggle to make our stories heard, has been limited. But the tides are slowly turning and is being led by the collaborative strength of empowered Hindu women from within our community. The Covid-19 pandemic has at once forced us to cancel our core programs - which for decades had brought us together to pursue our mission to develop value-based leaders - but also allowed us the opportunity to collaborate in other, more innovative ways. It gives me immense pride that Hindu Sevika Samiti (UK) have set a new precedent for the trajectory of our work. As a follow up to the successful Mahila Shibirs in seven vibhags attended by over 500 participants, 342 Mahila sevikas came together to write 411 articles on seven different topics which will be presented in the form of seven e-books. I am very delighted to launch this collection which explores topics such as: The uniqueness of Bharat, Ramayan ki Kathayen, Pandemic and the Hindu way of life and The contribution of Hindu women, amongst others. From writing to editing, content checking to proofreading, the entire project was conducted by our Sevikas. This project has revealed hidden talents of many mahilas in writing essays and articles. We hope that these skills are further encouraged and nurtured to become good writers which our community badly lacks.

  • Year II-Chap.3-RAMAYANA
    CHAPTER THREE Rama, Sita, Lakshmana and Hanuman in RAMAYANA Year II Chapter 3-RAMAYANA THE RAMAYANA Introduction Valmiki is known as Adi Kabi, the first poet. He wrote an epic in Sanskrit, the Ramayana, which depicts the life of Rama, the hero of the story. Sage Narada narrated the story of Rama to Valmiki. Ramayana is divided into the following: o Balakanda (Book of Youth) - Boyhood of Rama, o Ayodhya Kanda (Book of Ayodhya) - Life in Ayodhya after Rama and Sita’s wedding, o Aranya Kanda (Book of Forest) – Rama’s forest life and abduction of Sita by Ravana, o Kishkindha Kanda (Book of Holy Monkey Empire) – Rama’s stay in Kishkindha after meeting Hanuman and Sugriva, o Sundara Kanda (Book of Beauty) – Hanuman’s Prank-locating Sita in Ashoka grove, and o Yuddha Kanda (Book of War) – Rama’s victory over Ravana in the war and Rama’s coronation. The period after coronation of Rama is considered in the last book - Uttara Kanda. The feature story Dasaratha was the king of Kosala, an ancient kingdom that was located in present day Uttar Pradesh. Ayodhya was its capital- located on the banks of the river Sarayu. Dasaratha was loved by one and all. His subjects were happy and his kingdom was prosperous. Even though Dasaratha had everything that he desired, he was very sad at heart; he had no children. During the same time, there lived a powerful Rakshasa (demon) king in the island of Sri Lanka (Ceylon), located just south of India. He was called Ravana. He had ten heads.

  • Storytelling Ramayana Through Philately
    Storytelling Ramayana through Philately Briti Deb India 1947 photogravure print stamp with Jai Hind written in Hindi. Ramayana was written in Sanskrit which influenced many languages like Hindi, and both are written in the same script called Devanagari. Introduction: Ramayana, one of the four largest epics of the world (other three being the Mahabharata, Iliad, and Odyssey), is also arguably the oldest continuous tradition of storytelling in the world. This Hindu epic teaches on the goals of human life. It has a profound impact on the culture, family relations, and moral values in India and many other countries, manifesting itself in literature, art, architecture, painting, dance, drama, and festivals. Ramayana was introduced to the West in 1843 in Italian by Gaspare Gorresio. The term Ramayana literally means the march (ayana) of Rama (an avatar of the Hindu God Vishnu) in search of human values. The epic poem is written in Sanskrit and is composed of rhyming couplets called Slokas, teaching the concept of Dharma (moral). According to Hinduism, Dharma is the law that maintains the regulatory order of the universe, helping to achieve social harmony and human happiness. According to Hindu mythology, the historic period or Yuga in which Rama lived is known a Treta Yuga, when Dharma (moral) of people are believed to be of high order. In subsequent periods, i.e., Dwapar Yuga when the story of Mahabharata took place and the present Kali yuga in which we live now, morality is believed to be declining. In this context, storytelling Ramayana comes as a relief by teaching moral and spiritual values.

  • Ramayana Or the Mahabharata
    Performance Outlines of the Ramayana and the Mahabharata by Kathy Foley These outlines are examples of those a dalang might write concerning major points to be covered in a rod puppet (wayang golek) performance. The text is usually a mixture of narrative and notes on dialogue; it is the basis upon which the dalang improvises a performance using the stock elements: opening, closing, and transitional mantras; mood songs; and the rules of character types, which dictate that some characters speak in formal, polite language and others in colloquial language. The Ramayana outline given here covers material that would in actual practice be bro- ken into two or three stories. The outline closely resembles what would be seen today in dance drama versions: the narrative is presented in one performance, from the kidnapping of Sita (Sinta) to her release from Lanka (Alengka). In contrast, the outline given here for the Mahabharata episode is much like one that a puppeteer might use for a wayang golek performance. The Ramayana Opening mantra: Tell of a county wide and free, tell how it is rich and fertile with all that is needed to feed and house the people. This is the kingdom in the story of Dandaka Forest. It is here that the great Prince Rama, an incarnation of Vishnu, has retreated to live out his fourteen-year exile from his kingdom of Ayodhya (Ayodya). By the work of his hand, with the assistance of his brother Lakshmana (Laksmana) and his beloved wife Sita (Sinta), he has made the dark forest into a place of beauty and safety where gardens bloom and birds call.
