MUMBAI:
Starting 24 June, another significant chapter unfolds on the Ramayan
with the appearance of the mighty Hanuman! This epic story unravels
the strong bond between the mighty, yet humble monkey deity and
Lord Ram. Stories of Hanuman's love, devotion, selfless service,
knowledge, power and strength are revealed on NDTV Imagine's Ramayan,
starting 24 June at 9:30 p.m.!
While
Lord Ram and Lakshman look for Sita who has been abducted by the
demon king Ravan, their search brings them to the vicinity of the
mountain Rishyamukha, where the monkey king Sugriva lives with his
followers. Having seen them in his territory, Sugriva sends Hanuman
to ascertain their identities. Hanuman approaches the two brothers
in the disguise of a Brahmin but soon realizes that Ram is none
other than his revered master. Thereafter, Hanuman's life becomes
interwoven inextricably with that of Ram. Hanuman then brings about
a friendship and alliance between Ram and Sugriva. When Sugriva
realizes that Ram is Lord Vishnu in a mortal avatar, he and his
followers become his devotees. While Ram helps Sugriva regain his
honor and makes him king of Kishkindha, Sugriva and his vanaras,
most notably Hanuman, help Ram defeat Ravan and reunite with Sita.
The
strong bond between Shri Ram and Hanuman is one of the emotional
strengths of Ramayan. Hanuman becomes the hero of the chapters that
narrate the battle between Lord Ram and Ravan. He is the eternal
symbol for mankind of unconditional devotion, faith and love of
the devotee for the Lord. The episodes which ensure after the meeting
of Ram and Hanuman are strong in emotional content and are filled
with ceaseless special effects as the Monkey lord performs one amazing
feat after another! The character of Hanuman will be played by Vikram
Sharma.
Don't miss the beginning of this vital stage of the Ramayan starting
Tuesday, June 24th, 2008 at 9:30 p.m. only on NDTV IMAGINE.
