Hanuman?s unflinching devotion to Rama has made him the greatest of the Bhaktas (Devotees) ever known. His singular worship of Rama did not make him narrow minded, or supercilious. Instead it made him more compassionate. It helped him to bring consolation to Sita, pining away, forlorn and lonely in Ravana?s Ashoka garden. It helped him to submit himself years later to the buoyant valor of Rama?s children, Luv and Kush.
The second title in this series is based on Krittivasa?s Ramayana. Hanuman?s exploits, particularly after he sets out to bring the herb Vishalya Karani from mount Gandhamadana to save Lakshmana, have been beautifully embellished in this Bengali version of the Ramayana.
In the third title in this special issue is described the encounter between Hanuman and Bheema, the mighty Pandava prince.
Hanuman is the son of Vayu, the wind god; and Bheema is the son of Kunti, born by the grace of Vayu. Thus, the two can be considered half-brothers.
Hanuman is described as a Chiranjivi, an immortal. This explains how the meeting between the two was possible, though Bheema was born many centuries later.
