Bal Ramayan- Hanuman Ji and the Brahmastra



In the events of the Ramayana, when Hanuman reached Lanka in search of Sita Mata, he found her in the Ashoka Vatika and conveyed Lord Rama's message to her. Afterward, he began to cause havoc in Lanka, creating a commotion in Ravana's army.

Hanuman defeated many demons in Ravana's army and destroyed several prominent buildings in Lanka. When Ravana learned of this, he sent his son Meghnad (also known as Indrajit) to capture Hanuman. Meghnad was a very powerful warrior and fought fiercely with Hanuman.

Meghnad used many weapons against Hanuman, but Hanuman remained invincible. Ultimately, Meghnad used the Brahmastra, a divine weapon blessed by Lord Brahma. Hanuman knew that the Brahmastra should be respected, so he willingly accepted its effect and allowed himself to be bound.

Ravana's army captured Hanuman and presented him in Ravana's court. Ravana mocked Hanuman and ordered his tail to be set on fire. However, Hanuman used the fire on his tail to set the entire Lanka ablaze, burning down Ravana's palace and many parts of the city.

Hanuman's bravery and intelligence spread terror in Lanka, demonstrating to everyone that those who follow the path of truth and righteousness never give up.

This story teaches us that the respect and patience of a person who walks the path of truth and righteousness are their greatest strengths. Hanuman's wisdom and courage helped him overcome all difficulties and emerge victorious.
