He is famous for his role in the epic Ramayana. Here Hanuman is the mighty monkey who aided the god Rama in his expedition against the forces of evil. Believed to be an incarnation of the god Shiva, here he is assigned the responsibility of locating Rama's wife Sita kidnapped by Ravana, the demon king of Lanka.

Hanuman is known for his astonishing ability to inspire and equip a reader with all the ingredients needed to face and overcome all of life's day-to-day trials.

Hindus believe in ten avatars of the god Vishnu among a multitude of gods and goddesses. One of Vishnu's avatars is Rama, who was created to destroy Ravana, the evil ruler of Lanka. To help Rama, the god Brahma commanded some gods and goddesses to take the avatar of "Vanaras" or monkeys. Indra, the god of war and weather, was reincarnated as Bali; Surya, the sun god like Sugriva; Vrihaspati, the preceptor of the gods, like Tara and Pavana, the god of wind, was reborn as Hanuman, the wisest, fastest and strongest of all monkeys.
