The mighty monkey devotee whose courage changes the course of the Ramayana.

Hanuman combines strength, humility, speed, and devotion. In the Ramayana he leaps across the sea, finds Sita, burns Lanka, and carries a mountain of healing herbs when exact knowledge is not enough. His mythic power is not just force; it is loyalty made superhuman.
