Endowed with godly powers, Shree Hanuman was a military leader of the monkey army from [[Kishkindha|Kiskinda]], who aided Lord Rama in his quest to retrieve his kidnapped wife [[Sita]] from the demon king [[Ravana|Ravanna]] in the Hindu epic tale ''[[Ramayana]]'', written by the Hindu sage [[Valmiki]].<ref name=hanuman>{{cite web|last=Das|first=Subhamoy|title=Lord Hanuman About the Simian God of the Hindus|url=http://hinduism.about.com/od/lordhanuman/a/hanuman.htm|publisher=about.com|accessdate=2 October 2012}}</ref>

The noble monkey warrior is much loved for his humility and wisdom, along with his unlimited strength and power. He is seen as the epitome of selfless devotion as he never took a wife for no other could replace his love for Rama and Sita. When asked to accompany the divine couple to the next world he refused to go as he wished to live in this one for as long as Rama-Sita's names were praised here by man.
