Hanuman after introducing provides details story about Sugreev
एहि बिधि सकल कथा समुझाई। लिए दुऔ जन पीठि चढ़ाई॥
जब सुग्रीवँ राम कहुँ देखा। अतिसय जन्म धन्य करि लेखा॥3॥
भावार्थ:-इस प्रकार सब बातें समझाकर हनुमान्जी ने (श्री राम-लक्ष्मण) दोनों जनों को पीठ पर चढ़ा लिया। जब सुग्रीव ने श्री रामचंद्रजी को देखा तो अपने जन्म को अत्यंत धन्य समझा॥3॥
Thus, explaining to them all different matters, Hanuman seated both of them on his shoulders. Sugriva became very happy and fortunate to get blessing from Ram

Hanuman ji, as devotee of Ram has earned a tremendous respect and trust for selfless service without expecting anything in return. All around in our personal and professional communication we look forward for people to work with them who is dependable and trustworthy . How difficult to build trust? It’s not easy as it takes a lot of commitment and inner willpower to develop the tolerance and adopt individual behavior to win someone’s trust . This also can be compared as a strong foundation with pillars that holds the entire constructed building .It’s challenging as once trust is developed then personal relationship becomes strong but its broken than we lose our friends and family forever. Rahim ji describes very beautifully…
रहिमन धागा प्रेम का , मत तोरो चटकाय |
टूटे पे फिर ना जुरे , जुरे गाँठ परी जाय ||
Rahiman Dhaga Prem Ka , Mat Todo Chatkaye |
Tute Pe Phir Na Jure , Jure Gaanth Paree Jaay
अर्थ – रहीम जी कहते हैं कि क्षणिक आवेश में आकर प्रेम रुपी नाजुक धागे को कभी नहीं तोड़ना चाहिए। क्योंकि एक बार अगर धागा टूट जाये तो पहले तो जुड़ता नहीं और अगर जुड़ भी जाए तो उसमे गांठ पड़ जाती है।
Don’t snap off the thread of love, for once broken, it can’t be jointed , and though jointed it leaves a knot.

Its so true that we shouldn’t take any relationship as granted as one-sided. Relationship of Ram and Hanuman was two sided as they shared their love , affection, and respect for each other .Similarly we must nurture our relationship and appreciate each others genuine efforts . We all must have experienced some of the strong relationship in our past that might gone through turmoil due to mistrust . Although after some time we do realize our mistakes, but it’s very rare that the trustful relationship can be rebuild. We must learn from our and others experience’s, so the relationship can retain strong and enhanced. Let’s learn from Hanuman ji’s and Rahim ji’s experiences to adopt positivity in our life
Hanuman seated Ram and Lakshman on his shoulders —We all know Hanuman, the devotee of Rama, is portrayed carrying Rama and his brother Lakshmana. Rama, on Hanuman’s right shoulder while Lakshmana rides on his left. Hanuman is carrying them to Sugreeva, king of the monkeys, who was to help them in their search for the abducted Sita ji
Discussion:
I am trying to understand why Hanuman carried Ram and Lakshman on his shoulder. In my opinion we take our small kids on our shoulder to demonstrate our highest intensity of love and affection. We also know that
(1)Hanuman is incarnation of Shiv ji (11th Rudra) hence he is extremely powerful!
(2)Lakshman ji is incarnation of Shesh Narayan.
(3)Shiv ji respects Ram ji in three ways, as devotee, (Sevak) friend (Mitra or Sakha) and master (Swami)
(4)Ram ji says to Hanuman ji that he loves him twice more than his own brother Lakshman. This allowed Lakshman to think what he lacks that Ram ji loves Hanuman more than him.
To demonstrate Lakshman, why Ram ji loved more to Hanuman than him, Ram ji accepted request to sit on Hanuman ji’s shoulder. This help Laxman to understand that being the incarnation of Shesh Narayan he allow resting Vishnu ji on his body ( Ram ji is Vishnu’s incarnation ) but Hanuman was able to carry both Ram and Lakshman. This allowed Lakshman to appreciate why Ram ji loves more to Hanuman than him.
* सादर मिलेउ नाइ पद माथा। भेंटेउ अनुज सहित रघुनाथा॥
कपि कर मन बिचार एहि रीती। करिहहिं बिधि मो सन ए प्रीती॥4॥
भावार्थ:-सुग्रीव चरणों में मस्तक नवाकर आदर सहित मिले। श्री रघुनाथजी भी छोटे भाई सहित उनसे गले लगकर मिले। सुग्रीव मन में इस प्रकार सोच रहे हैं कि हे विधाता! क्या ये मुझसे प्रीति करेंगे?॥4
Sugreev met Rama respectfully, put his head on Ram ji feet . In the mind of Sugriva he was constant thinking if Ram will accept him as a friend.
Discussion:
Hanuman carrying Ram and Lakshman reached on the top of mountain and meet Sugreev. We may think that why Sugreev didn’t came down to meet Ram? If Sugreev could have come to meet Ram than the bond of friendship/relationship may not have been that strong .Hence Hanuman suggested if Ram ( Lord – Bhagwan) goes on top of mountain to initiate friendship with Sugreev then it will never break. Sugriva was thinking that if Ram will provide blessings to him thinking? How can a mere monkey make friends with God Himself; he wonders!
Conclusion :
Like Sugriva our mind is also like monkey .We must trust and realize God’s presence in our life to keep our positivity .Sugriva or Vibhishan’s life prior to meeting Ram was like an ordinary person full of fear and low confidences . Ram ji’s blessings both have acquired kingdom. Let’s nurture our association with devotion and good moral value to help each other’s success. I thought of sharing extract from the article that provides important aspect to reduce stress.
“monkey brain”, which is fueled by most basic responses to fear and desire. … It is by using our “human brain” that we are able to think through our responses, rather than just reacting.
Because we have so many things going on at one time, when we are multitasking ,we can easily find ourselves using our “monkey brain”, making mindless decisions that may end up causing serious problems with important tasks, or even worse. Next time you find yourself trying to do a million things at once and getting irritated with someone you care about, remind yourself that you’re using your “monkey brain”, and work on acting more like a human.
Quick tips to tame your monkey mind:
1. Eliminate the noise. Turn away from your computer, turn off your phone (airplane mode works on the ground), and create an environment that is calming.
2. Breathe. Bring awareness to your breath often throughout the day, and make sure that you’re getting what you need. A short, shallow breath rate triggers the stress
3. Get out of the cage. Aim for physical activity at least every 90 minutes in order to keep blood circulation
This is great interpretation and description of Sugriv and lord Rama’s milap by dear Anil. Relationship of lord Rama with Sugriv is a great example of worldly human relationships. Only difference is that all of us are like Sugriv, so our relationship is Sugriv Sugriv relationship. To make our relationships we all need to imbibe lord Rama’s values of being selfless, caring and take initiative to clear barriers and bring brightness and joy for each other. We also need to be tolerant to each other’s weaknesses and provide the needed support and strength under weak and challenging situations. Jai
Shri Ram jai Hanuman. 🌹 🌺 🌺 🌸 🌷
