story i would like to see
Hanuman is immensely inspiring in his unswerving devotion to Rama, his sense of duty, humility and sincerity of purpose. An interesting story in the Ramayana reveals how the one (Rama) invoked was as devoted to his worshipper as was the worshipper to him.
After the coronation of Rama as king of Ayodhya, on the conclusion of the Lanka war, at last, peace prevailed in the kingdom. Hanuman continued to stay by Rama's side, performing loving service. This left the others with practically nothing to do, to serve Rama. Sitaji thought about it often and one day, decided to do something about it. She asked Rama to relieve Hanuman of his duties. Rama was pained to know that the others did not understand the sublime spirit that was Hanuman. "I am indebted to him for all that he has done; I should also be allowed to serve," he said.
Nevertheless, Sita, Bharata and Shatrughana divided all the duties amongst themselves and relieved Hanuman of all work. His raison d'etre in danger, Hanuman reasoned that one important task was still left unassigned. When Rama, the divine avatar of Vishnu, yawns, who would click fingers? For, it is believed that if one doesn't click or snap one's fingers (chutki bajaana) while yawning, it shortens one's lifespan!
