Pawanputra Hanuman is considered to be the supreme devotee of Lord Shri Ram. Ramayana cannot even be imagined without Hanuman, a devotee of Ram. It goes so far as to say that the world cannot run without Shri Ram and Ram ji cannot run without Hanuman. Today, on the occasion of Ram Navami, we are going to tell you that where did Hanuman, the devotee of Ram, meet his Lord, how did both of them meet? This is a question that must have come in the mind of all of us many times. Let’s know-
This entire incident is mentioned in Maharishi Valmiki’s Ramayana. During the exile, when Ravana abducted Mother Sita from Panchvati (near Nashik in Maharashtra) and took her with him to the golden Lanka, Lord Shri Ram and his brother Lakshman started wandering in the forests in shock. In this sequence, one day both of them reached the hut of Shabari, who herself was a great devotee of Lord Shri Ram. Shabari advised him to go towards the south.
On this way Lord Shri Ram met the demon Kabandha, who had already heard about the Lord. Kabandha was a Gandharva who became a demon due to the curse of sage Durvasa. Shri Ram killed her and saved her from the demonic vagina. After this, Kabandha asked Shri Ram to befriend Sugriva. On one hand, both the brothers were wandering in the forests in search of Mother Sita, while on the other hand, there was a fierce battle between Bali and Sugriva, the two monkey king brothers of Kishkindha.
