10 - Marvels of Hanuman (3)
Hanuman brings news of Sita to Ram

"A monkey has skill of tree climbing, walking on roof, so I burn Lanka,
I could fly over ocean, all is your blessing else how could I be in Lanka".
"Sita has sent message, respect for you, Laxman; sorry she is still alive,
Wants to meet you, family, apology from Laxman else she would die". 

Ram felt sad, "Oh! Sita suffering a lot, what is about my duty and valor?"
Said Hanuman, "Every thing will work out, please start, no delay more".
Ram asked Sugreev to have March of monkey army with proper plan,
Millions monkeys, bears started in groups, Neal was the chief of clan.

In fifteen days all came on the South ocean shore; eating fruits, roots,
The trees blossomed heavily in the season; Ram is source; logic moots. 
Raven sent spy to know about Ram's challenge, massive army on shore,
He called a meeting of executives what should be strategy, discuss more.

The majority was in favor of war and not to return princess Sita to Ram,
"We have conquered gods, what of monkeys, human, we see no harm".
Wise Vibhishan asked permission to speak to the entire assembly,
"We could not harm the one monkey, now are millions with their ally".

"Ram is super power, he is not only the king but owner of the cosmos,
The Brhaman, omniscience, original person, fully about Him who knows?
Please return princess Sita to Ram immediately and have an apology,
This will save the rakshasas' clan and we will be learning new sociology".

Malyavant the grand father of Raven appreciate the advice as presented,
"Please do as Vibhishan says, for one mistake torturous war is warranted.
Raven asked to ignore Vibhishan, Malyavant unhappily left the meeting,
Vibhishan pleaded Raven to save him, "O Brother! Our life is fleeting".

"Wise and unwise thoughts are common, wise thoughts bring success,
You are following unwise thought of holding Sita it is sure nonsense,
Sita has become a death warrant of rakshsas' clan you are infatuated,
Please return Sita to Ram, save Lanka and family; we all are affected".

Raven became furious; he insulted Vibhishan and asked him to leave,
Vibhishan decided to have asylum in Ram, no else was for him to cleave.
Vibhishan came across the sea to meet Ram with his four ministers,
Message was sent to Sugreev in the war camp by the wise administers.

Sugreev said, "Ram! The brother of Raven has come to meet us here,
I think we keep him captive in the camp, how to know his plans there".
"Sugreev! Your thoughts are okay, but I will offer asylum to this man,
One who has come to surrender me, by all means he becomes my man".  

The monkeys escorted Vibhishan to the camp of Sri Ram and Sugreev,
Vibhishan praying in heart, 'I will see the divine brothers and Sugreev,
The lotus feet of Ram, pleasure of devotees; the face full of kindness",
Vibhishan came to Ram and bowed to his lotus feet in reverence not less.

Ram holds Vibhishan and offered a hug with love and said, "Welcome,
How are you, it is wise that you dissociated from evil Raven and come". 
Ram asked for water and offered kingdom of Lanka to dear Vibhishan,
Vibhishan was taken as an adviser and in to the confidential association.

Ram asked Vibhishan, "Please advise that how can we cross the ocean?"
Vibhishan advised Ram to pray ocean to find a way out, no commotion.
Ram went on the seashore and started prayers; he was sitting for days,
Finally Ram decided to evaporate the sea by his arrows, enough for nays.

When the ocean saw arrow in Ram's hand, came to Ram as an old man
The ocean prayed, "Ram! You are the God, please save; I am your man,
You created the nature and its rules, so I am an insentient being stubborn,
Please excuse my delay, cross me by building a bridge, You Firstborn!"   

"Nal and Neal two monkeys is expert in bridge construction with a boon,
Stone will float on water as they touch it, you will cross the ocean soon".
Ram was pleased with offerings from the ocean and sent him his home,
The story of Ram is divine; let our thoughts in His holy past time roam.

Ram called Sugreev and explained the plan for the construction of bridge,
Nal, Neal, Hanuman, Angad, others started lumber collection on a ridge.
The plan was made beautifully and work was organized with new zeal,
Nal, Neal was the architect, in days the bridge was completed with seal.

Ram is the seal on work, on heart, in thoughts and in healthy endeavor,
He is the light, the guide, the friend, the father, the refuse and the savior.
