He wondered and thought as to what would have caused it. So, He just wrote His name on a rock and threw it into the sea, but, alas, the rock sank. What if I do it myself too? The bridge can be built faster'. Rama who watched over, thought, 'They are writing my name and throwing rocks into the sea which is making the rocks float. Their devotion made the rocks float on water.

While building Rama Setu, the strong muscular vanaras inscribed Rama's name on the gigantic rocks and then carried them to throw them into the sea where the bridge plan was laid out.Under their supervision, the vanaras built the bridge in 5 days. Nala was the son of Vishwakarma (architect of the Gods) and had inherited the skills from his father. These brothers were one among the vanaras. Nala and Nila were the architects who planned the Rama Setu.Thus, Rama taught Hanuman how His name could be chanted boundlessly and also illustrated His omnipresence. Hanuman knelt down and bowed to his Lord in agreement and realisation. I always exist with the pure hearted devotee.' Rama said, 'Dear Hanuman, I'm always there, wherever my devotee utters my name with devotion. I saw a vanara chanting Your name while excreting and so I kicked him.' Hanuman was shocked and replied saying, 'I'm so sorry my Lord. I am hurt badly and have sprained my knee. Rama said, 'What do I tell you Hanuman.? Today morning, when I was defecating, somebody kicked me from behind very hard. Hanuman ran towards his Lord and asked Him worriedly, 'What happened to You my Lord? Why are You limping?' He turned to see who it was, and gosh, it was Lord Rama himself. Later in the day, Hanuman was doing Sandhya Vandana on the sea shore under the setting sun when he heard somebody moaning while walking. The vanara left the place stumblingly after apologising to Hanuman. Hanuman questioned the vanara in anger, 'How dare you take my Lord Rama's name while defecating?! Such disrespect towards my Lord!?'. With a wobbly voice, he asked Hanuman as to why he kicked him. He immediately kicked the vanara from behind.

Hanuman being a staunch devotee of his Lord got furious instantly at the sight of the vanara and thought it to be very disrespectful and awful to chant his dear Lord Rama's name while doing such a chore. It was he who was chanting the Lord's name.

He looked around, walked amidst the trees and found a vanara squatting and defecating. He wondered who was chanting it as they were not yet working with the rocks to build the bridge. On one of those days, in the early morning, Hanuman was walking by the sea shore when he heard someone chanting Rama Rama Rama. The rocks thus thrown floated over the waters. During these days, the Vanara Sena including Hanuman built the bridge by inscribing Rama's name on the rocks and then carrying them uttering their Lord's name with heartfelt devotion and throwing them in the sea where they planned to make the bridge. She then suggested them to build a bridge across the sea to cross it, with the help of two vanara brothers Nala and Nila.īuilding the Rama Setu took five days to complete. A startled Sea Goddess then appeared before Rama and pleaded to stop the disaster and to return it to its equilibrium. This caused havoc and disaster, causing the sea creatures to struggle for life, causing heavy storms, disturbing the water bodies such that it could drown the surrounding land areas. Seeing that he got no response, Rama shot arrows into the sea in order to dry it up. Rama called out to the Sea Goddess seeking help to cross the sea. Now, they had to cross the sea to reach Ravana's Lanka where Sita was held hostage. Lord Rama along with his brother Lakshmana, Hanuman and the Vanara sena reached the end of land (Dhanushkodi in Rameshwaram) while looking out for Sita. He was the key helper of his Lord in this mission of rescuing Sita from Lanka. Hanuman is the greatest devotee of Lord Rama as known to all. It is an incident that happened during the days when the Vanara Sena (Monkey Army) was building Rama Setu (bridge), from Rameshwaram to Lanka in order to cross the sea and rescue Rama's wife Sita who was kidnapped by Ravana - the demon King of Lanka.
