What Did Hanuman Do When He Didn't Succeed?
After arriving in Lanka, Hanuman searched every corner — palaces, gardens, rooms, courtyards — but there was no sign of Sita. The city was steeped in demonic indulgence and luxury, filled with intoxicated demons and disturbing sights.
There came a moment when despair crept into Hanuman’s heart. He thought, “If I don't find Mother Sita, should I return to Shri Ram empty-handed?” It was a moment where any ordinary person might feel exhausted, pause, or even give up.
But Hanuman Chose to Hold On to Faith
Hanuman closed his eyes and meditated on Shri Ram. He communicated with his soul and sought guidance. In that moment, he noticed a different palace — a place with a temple — and that was the house of Vibhishan. In a city ruled by unrighteousness, this temple became a beacon of hope.
The scene itself seemed to say: No matter how deep the darkness, the flame of hope never truly dies.
Success Followed Thereafter
After seeing Vibhishan's home, Hanuman was filled with new energy. He resumed his search, and eventually found Sita Mata in the Ashok Vatika. This was the reward of his relentless effort, faith, and unwavering devotion to the name of Shri Ram.
