Hanuman encountering demoness Lanka in Lanka
(Valmiki Ramayana - Sundara Kanda - 1 to 3)• Meditation:
► I meditate on Bhakta Hanuman encountering demoness Lanka in Lanka.• Puranic Events:
1. Hanuman reaching Lanka: Hanuman reached the island of Lanka in the region of the Malaya mountain and reducing his size alighted on the top of mount Lamba.(Valmiki Ramayana - Sundara Kanda - 1)
2. Hanuman entering Lanka: Hanuman saw the city of Lanka located on the peak of Mount Trikuta, and protected by boundary wall. The city which was architected by Vishwakarma consisted of huge mansions which were richly decorated, and also had forests and lakes. The city was protected by rakshasas armed with various weapons. Seeing the highly protected and impenetrable city of Lanka, Hanuman was in despair for sometime thinking about the prospect of Sri Rama. To avoid being detected by rakshasas, Hanuman assumed a small form of the size of a cat and entered the city at night.
(Valmiki Ramayana - Sundara Kanda - 2)
3. Hanuman encountering demoness Lanka: Demoness Lanka, the guardian protector of the city of Lanka, detected Hanuman and rose up. Hanuman told her that he wanted to see the city of Lanka. Lanka obstructed and hit Hanuman. Hanuman hit back and made her fall. Lanka told of a prediction of Lord Brahma that the day she will be defeated by a vanara who came in search of Devi Sita, the end of rakshasas will come. Knowing that the time of that prediction has arrived, Lanka told Hanuman to move freely and search for Devi Sita.
