Then he rushed towards Ravana and sad the bad news to him. Ravana ordered every to get ready to face Rama’s challenge. Rama challenged Ravana to come to the yard and face his challenge.

After than Lakshmana befame fine. All the army were enjoing hteir wins were as Rama and his troops went to Sita and freed her from there.
After than they went to the Jungle and contunied their 14 years Banabas.

MEETING AT LANKA





Meanwhile, in Lanka, Ravana was feeling ashamed and irritated at the way a mere monkey had destroyed tha Ashoka Vatika and burnt Lanka to ashes. He called a meeting of ministers and army commanders to discuss what next step they must take. All the people gathered at the meeting. They were all real flatters. They said to Ravana that no one could do him any harm. He must not let go of Sita, whatever may be the consequence. 

Vibhishana, the intelligent brother and devotee of Rama was present in the court. He said, “O brother, do not heed the words of these flatters. Let Sita be free and let her go to Rama. You have already incurred the wrath of Rama by kidnapping mother Sita. It is not good for you or our race.”
Ravana grew angry when he heard his own brother making such claims about Rama whom Ravana considered to be an enemy. He kicked Vibhishana and asked him get out of the kingdom of Lanka and Ravana were in danger. So they went to the other shore of Lanka in their flying chariots. They landed before Rama and sought refuge. Rama blessed them with his protection. When Sugreeva protested, Rama said that he could not deny protection to anyone who came to seek his help, even if he was his enemy’s brother.

ARMY’S MARCH TO LANKA



Rama was overwhelmed with gratitude towards Hanumana. Rama addressed Sugreeva, “What a feat Hanumana has achieved? He has consoled Sita by giving her hope and has saved me by telling me that she is alive. But now we all must make out a plan to cross the ocean. We must reach Lanka before any harm befalls Sita.” Sygreeva said,” I have already decided that Hanumana will surely fly across the ocean carrying you and Lakshmana on his shoulders. My army and I will follow you. We would surely make out a way to cross the ocean. Now let us all march to the sea-shore.”
So a huge army of monkey and bears swiftly jumped over trees and hills to reach the sea-shore. Hanumana carried Rama and Lakshmana on his shoulder to make a hasty approach. They reached the sea-shores and set up a camp in a nearby forest.
After a restful night, Hanumana, sugreeva, Angad, Lakshmana, Jambavan and Rama discussed how they would go across the ocean. Rama said to Sugreeva, “Friend, we have a large army and the ocean is way too deep to swim across. Its width is too much to jump across. How will we ever reach Lanka?”
Suggestions and advice poured in from all sides, but none seemed logical. The whole group was rather optimistic. They had found Sita and would do anything to rescue her. They had achieved one goal and would go a step further then.


HANUMANA INFORMS RAMA ABOUT SITA





As Hanumana crossed the ocean and reached nearer to where everyone was waiting for him, the monkeys and bears standing on the seashore started jumping with joy. They shouted, “He has come! Our saviour has surely brought us some good news.”
Hanumana and the older monkeys and bears set of Kishkindha to give the news to Rama and sugreeva. Soma hours later, Hanuamana, Angada, Jambavana and other reached the royal pare that had been guarded by Sugreeva’s uncle, Dadhimukha. After eating to thier heart’s content, they left for the royal palace of Kishkindha. When they reached the palace, Sugreeva, Rama and Laksmana look at Hanumana with great expectation.

Hanumana walked to Rama with folded hands, and said, “My Lord, I have found mother Sita. She is held capative in the palace garden of Ravana. Your blessing made me find her as she sat chanting your name under an ashoka tree. Her purity of heart and conduct is reflected on her face. She is a chaste lady for sure. Ravana will burn to ashes if he dares to touch her. I have given your ring. As I was leaving she slipped her chooramani into my hands in secret, so I could show it to you.” 
On seeing Sita’s chooramani, Lord Rama’s eyes were with filled with tears of gratitude. He turned to Hanumana and said, “You are blessed, O son of Wind God. Your news about sita has put new energy in me. How shall I ever reply your debt?”
Rama wandered off with the chooramani in his hand. He thought of what state Sita might be in. He imagined her sitting under a tree surrounded by demonesses. How pale and week would she be then? How she might be surviving the cold, heat and rain? He wished he had wings that could fly him and reach Sita to console her. Gradually, he came back to face the present situation at hand. How could he ever lead such a large army of monkeys and bears to cross the vast ocean and reach Lanka? He had to rush now to plan on to rescue his beloved Sita.

HANUMANA’S TAIL ON FIRE





The demons rushed with rags of clothes dipped in oil and tied around Hanumana’s tail, but the more rags they wrapped the longer his tail grew in length. The demons grew tired of getting enough oil-dipped rags to wound his tail. Then the demons set the tail on fire. Hanumana was once again dragged through was once again dragged the streets of Lanka with his blazing tail.
When Sita came to know about it, she promptly lit a small fire and offered praying to Agni, the god of fire and prayed “O Agni Deva, be gentle on Hanumana’s tail. Be cool as you touch my son’s body.” Meanwhile, Hanumana wondered what power was making his tail feel cool instead of heat of the fire.
For some time, Hanumana remained patient letting the people enjoy at his expense as they made fun of a monkey with a tail on fire. Then Hanumana decided that he had endured enough. He reduced himself in size shaking off the ropes that bound him.
Then suddenly, he took up the enormous size of a rocky mountain. He jumped with his flaming tail to the top of a high mansion. The mansion caught fire and went up in flames. When the demonic guards cane to recapture him, Hanumana pulled out a huge pillar and whirled it around his head. Then he threw it at the demons in full force. This caused fear amongst the demon brigade. Then Hanumana jumped on to another house and set it on fire.
As a strong wind began to blow, the whole city of Lanka went up in flames. Hanumana’s swiftness was unmatched

By anyone in Ravana’s demonic army. So, no one could catch Him. Hanumana kept jumping from house with his blazing tail And in this way all the golden houses were on fire. After Wrecking this havoc and instilling utter fear in the hearts of the Demons, hanumana went to meet mother sita. As usual she sat Worried and sad under a tree. But today, she was Worried for The safety of her son, Hanumana. When Hanumana appeared before her, she said having tears of joy in her eyes, “My son, are you all right? I am so happy to see you safe and sound.” Yes mother, I am safe and I have set Lanka on fire to teach Ravana a lesson. Mother, I am leaving to ho and inform my lord Rama about your whereabouts. Please be courageous and patient. Lord Rama will soon rescue you from here.” With these words, Hanumana increased his stature and set off from lanka.

HANUMANA MEETS RAVANA





Hanumana remembered that he had been blessed by Brahma that the Brahmastra could keep him bounded only for three-fourth of an hour, so Hanumana lay calmly to see what the demons could do to him then. Hanumana was dragged through the streets of Lanka as women came to stare and children clapped their hands in glee. By then the three-four of an hour had passed, but Hanumana pretended that he was still bound by the Brahmastra.
Soon the prossion that dragged Hanumana in public reached the royal palace of Ravana. Hanumana was presented before the royal palace of Ravana. Hanumana was presented before Ravana by Meghnada. Hanumana’s eyes were dazzled by the gold and gems on the walls of the palace and the diamonds that were encrusted inRavana’s throne of solid gold.
Ravana addressed Hanumana, “You look like a strange creature. Have you been sent by Indra or are you Kubera’s messenger? Who are you?”
Hanumana said, “I am Hanumana, the servant of Lord Rama, the chief Minister of Sugreeva and son of the Wind God and Anjani. I
Is but a messenger of doom of you. Death stalks the golden island of Lanka. By kidnapping mother Sita, you have called death and destruction upon yourself and the whole Lanka. Let mother Sita leave with me and you seek forgiveness from Lord Rama. Only this can save you and your race.”
At these words, Ravana lost his tamper and ordered his guards to kill Hanumana. Vibhishana, who was presented in the royal court said, “No don’t kill him for he is a messenger. We cannot kill a messenger as it is against the rule.” Ravana agreed to his but ordered his demons to set Hanumana,s long tail on fire.
