Epics (Ramayana)

Hanuman Brings the Sanjeevani Mountain

Characters: Hanuman, Lakshmana

During a fierce battle in Lanka, Prince Lakshmana was gravely wounded. The royal physician announced that only a rare healing herb named Sanjeevani, growing far away on a glowing Himalayan peak, could save him before sunrise. Without wasting a single second, Hanuman zoomed through the clouds like a shooting star, flying thousands of miles north in minutes. When he reached the mystical mountain range, the glowing herbs looked identical, and Hanuman didn't have time to inspect every single plant to find the right one. Did he panic? Not at all! Using his brilliant resourcefulness and superhuman strength, he scooped his giant hands deep under the earth, uprooted the *entire mountain peak*, hoisted it effortlessly onto his palm, and flew back at lightning speed to save Lakshmana just in time.
