This time of the year reminds me of Hanuman, the Devotee Monkey God who was devoted to Lord Rama. Hanuman is depicted in the mythical stories - The Mahabharata and The Ramayana.
Hanuman symbolizes pure devotion, surrender, strength, hope, looking beyond the Ego – “lower self” and giving service to others unconditionally.
The 'Ramayana' is an ancient Hindu epic about Rama and Sita. It is one of the two most important ancient epics of [India], the other being the Mahabharata..written by Valmiki of Ancient India.
The story of the Ramayana is about Prince Rama who has been exiled from his kingdom of ([Ajodhya]) with his wife
Sita and his brother Lakshman. He goes on to kill [king] Ramayana of Lanka in a long battle to get back his wife Sita.
I highly recommend reading both of these books written by Ramesh Menon.
The Ramayana story is one of the most celebrated times of the year in India. It’s one of the most famous and successful stories of all times. The link below is an animated version that gives some insight into the story.
