Hanumantha explains every thing to Bharatha

Hanumantha explained Bharatha in detail.I think you know what happened till Raama was in Chithrakoota.After sending you back to Ayodhya,Raama left that place and went to Dandakaaranyam.There Raama and Lakshmana killed a demon,named Viraadha.After that,they stayed at few places with sages but finally reached Janasdhaanam.There came Soorpanakha and desired Raama.Lakshmana cut off her nose and ears.As aresult,fourteen thousand demons came to attack Raama.Raama killed all pf them in three ghadiyalu.Then,Maareecha,Raavanaas aide,came in the form of a golden deer.Seetha was besotted by its beauty and requested Raama to bring it for her.Raama went for it and killd it when he suspected that it was demons mesmerism.When the deer shouted Lakshmana!Seetha!feigning Raamaas voice,Seetha was afraid that Raama was in trouble.On her insistance,Lakshmana was forced to leave her and go in search of Raama.In their absence,Raavana came and kidnapped her.Jataayuvu tried to protect Seetha but died in the ensuing fight between it and Raavana.Raavana flew away with her from that place.Some vaanaraas saw this incident from atop a mountain.Raavana took her to Lanka and many a time to seduce her.But,she refused and stopped his advances.He kept her in Ashokavanam under strict supervision. Raama and Lakshmana returned back and found that Seetha was missing.While they were searching for her,they came across Jataayuvu,dead.He was your fathers friend.Raama performed last rites to Jataayuvu.Raama and Lakshmana were searching for Seetha through hills,rivers and forests.There they saw Kabandhudu and killed him.Before dying he told them to go to Rushyamooka parvatham and meet Sugreeva.Hanumantha found them wandering near by and enquired them.Then,being satisfied took them to Dugreeva.They became friends and promised to help each other.Raama killed Vaali,Sugreevaas brother,and made Sugreeva the king of Kishkindha.Sugreeva promised to find Seetha and sent his people in all directions.Ten crores vaanara warriors went in search of Seetha.While we were searching in Vindhya mountains,time limit set was over.We could not find Seetha.We were worrying.Then,we met Jataayuvus elder brother,Sampaathi.He gave us information that Raavana took Seetha to Lanka and she was their captive.Then I lounged and flew in the sky.I crossed the sea and met Seetha.I saw her in Ashokavanam and gave her the ring which Raama gave me to give her ,when I find her.She took that ring and gave me her reply and her mark of identity to Raama.Then I returned to Raama and conveyed Seethaasmessage to him.Then,Raama determined to kill Raavana and started with vaanara warriors.We reached sea and constructed a bridge over the sea.We all crossed the sea and fought with the demons.Neeludu killed Prahasthudu.Lakshmana killed Indrajith,Raavanaas son.Sree Raama killed Kumbhakarna and Raavana.Then all the deities,Indra,Varunudu,Sivudu,Brahma,Dasaradhudu appeared before us.They gave boons to Raama and blessed them.We flew by Pushpaka vimaanam via Kishkindha and now reached Bharadhwaajaasramam.Raama would reach here tomorrow morning,during Pushyami nakshthram. Bharatha was very happy to learn about this news.Giving this news to Bharatha was very important.Because if Raama does not appear before next day day,Bharatha would have done Agnipravesam.

Hanumantha meets Bharatha

Hanumantha took the form of human being.He flew through the sky and reached Srungiberipuram.He met Guhudu and talked to him.Guhaa!your friend,Raama is safe and happy with his brother,Lakshmana and wife,Seetha.He sent me tell you about hs welfare.Today is Panchami.They would stay tonight at Bharadhwaajaasramam and start tomorrow morning for this place.Then ,Hanumanthaflew through sky and came across Parasuraamatheerdham Vaaluki river,River Gomathi,Paalakavanam and many villages and reached Nandigraamam.It was few miles away from Ayodhya. Bharatha was living like a sage.His face was glowing though his body was weak.He was ruling keeping his brothers shoes as his high command.Ministers,purohiths and aides were assisting in sages attire,kaashaaya vasthraalu.When their king was wearing cotton dress,how can civilians be different?Hanumantha saluted Bharatha and said.Hey righteousman!your brother sent me to inform you about his welfare.You need not worry about your brother any more.You can leave your sorrow.You can meet your brother immdiately.He killed Raavana and brought Seetha.He is coming along with his friends and aides to meet you.Bharatha fainted hearing these sweet words.He hugged Hanumantha and spoke in trembling voice.His eyes were filled with tears of joy.Io not know whether you are a deity or a human being.You made me happy by telling the happiest news.I will give you one lakh cows,hundred villages,sixteen maids as gift.After so many years I am hearing about my brother.the idiom that if one lives even after hundred years he can be happy...is proved to be correct.How did the friendship between Raama and vaanaraas become possible? Then Hanumantha replied in detail.

Raama sends Hanumantha to Bharatha

Raama thought for a while and addressed Hanumantha.Hanumanthaa!now you have to go to Ayodhya.On the way,there is Srungiberapuram.There,you meet my friend,Guhugu.Tell him about our welfare.He would feel happy knowing about my news.He would show you the way to Ayodhya.You go and learn about the welfare of my mothers.You contact Bharatha and tell him that after completion of my term in the forest,I came with Lakshmana and Seetha.Tell everything about me in detail to him.Tell him about how Raavana kidnapped Seetha,friendship between Sugreeva and me,demise of Vaali,search for Seetha,the way you crossed the sea,seeing Seetha,constructing the bridge,killing of Raavana,seeing deities,receiving boons,meeting Dasaradha and how we all came here. While telling all these things,observe him keenly.See how he is reacting to all these informations.Percive from his facial expressions regarding what he is thinking,how he is talking,his looks,color of his face,his voice and other minor details and come to a conclusion.It is very difficult for any person to forego the kingdom he is enjoing since long time.If he is interesed in the kingdom,we will leve it to him only.You assess his intentions and tell me correct and fast.If he interested in the kingdom,there is no need for us to go to Ayodhya,We can return back from here itself.
