In the enemy city of Lanka, separated from her beloved husband Shri Rama, Sita Devi finds herself in profound distress. Though she is His eternal consort and already knows Him well, she turns to Rama's trusted messenger, Shri Hanuman, and asks him to continue describing the glories of the Lord. Hanuman considers this request a great fortune, being eager to share Rama-katha.

Drawing upon his personal association and eyewitness accounts, Hanuman provides a magnificent description of Rama, the ideal ruler and protector. Hanuman confirms that Rama is enchanting to every living entity, possessing beauty and skill since the time of His birth.

Some of the auspicious characteristics of the Supreme Lord:

His Form and Features: Rama has eyes like lotus petals. He is endowed with the shyama complexion (dark, dark-blue, or dark-green), glowing skin, broad shoulders, and mighty arms. His voice resonates like a kettledrum.

His Opulence and Character: In splendor He is equal to the sun and in forgiveness He is equal to the earth. Rama is devoted to truth and righteousness, protecting all living entities. He follows the system of etiquette that He Himself established. Furthermore, He is well trained in royal knowledge, is full of knowledge, and gives honor to the brahmanas.

His Companions: Hanuman shows his knowledge by describing Rama's invincible half-brother, Lakshmana. Lakshmana is just like Rama in affection, appearance, and qualities and is referred to as a "tiger among men".

Hanuman's words are the elixir for the distressed and a soothing light to dissipate the darkness of ignorance. Read this comprehensive review of Rama's glories, passed down by His greatest and most selflessly devoted servant.
