Episode 60: Hanuman burns Lanka
In our previous episode, Hanuman, the mighty son of Vayu, the wind-God, unleashed a storm upon the golden citadel of Lanka. In search of Sita, he uprooted Ashok Vatika, struck down demon after demon, and faced the wrath of Ravana’s finest warriors. He defeated the sons of the ministers, crushed the five great generals, and even slew Ravana’s own son—Akshay Kumar—in midair combat. When Ravana sent his greatest weapon—Indrajit—Hanuman engaged him in a fierce duel that shook the skies. But this was not a battle of ego—it was strategy. Hanuman, out of reverence for Brahma’s celestial missile and a desire to meet Ravana face to face, allowed himself to be bound. Indrajit, aware that Hanuman was only pretending to be captured, still brought him to the court—because the Vanar’s strength had already become the stuff of legend.Now, as Hanuman stands before the ten-headed king, bound in ropes but unshaken in spirit, the next chapter of divine drama unfolds. The messenger of Ram will now deliver not just words—but a warning. In this episode, witness Hanuman’s wrath blazes forth as he lights the city of Lanka in flames. It is not destruction for its own sake—it is a divine signal that the wheel of dharm is turning, and the downfall of adharm is nearby. Join me as we enter this fiery and unforgettable chapter—where the humble Vanar becomes the firebrand of justice, and the city of gold begins to tremble in the face of truth.Ramayan, Sita, Raavan, Ram, Lakshman, Hindu mythology, Indian epics, Valmiki Ramayan, Ramayan stories, Hanuman, Ramayan podcast, Indian culture, Dharm, Hindu traditions, Ramayan episodes, Spiritual stories, Indian history, Lord Vishnu, Ramayan characters, Raavan's tyranny, Sita's captivity, Ancient India, Hindu epics, Inspirational stories, Devotion, Moral lessons, Storytelling, Indian mythology
