"Rama, besides being the greatest ruler of Ayodhya and the greatest King to have ruled the Earth, is the best warrior to have walked the earth. His devotee, Hanuman, is the greatest devotee, whose devotion fetched him unparalleled fame across the boundaries of time. Their story, recorded in Valmiki's Ramayana, is recounted in every household. Rama's heroic deeds and Hanuman's valorous antics always go hand in hand. That is what makes them so popular a duo. But, there was a time when these two friends had to pick up arms against each other. This story slowly fades away in the yellowing pages of the voluminous histories. That is why this tale is retold here, to not forget such an extraordinary episode of history.
Everyone is familiar with the great battle of Lanka, fought between Rama and Ravana. Before the war, however, when Rama was doubtful of his victory, he was motivated by Sage Agastya, the content of which was recorded as the Aditya Hrudayam. This book also brings you a translation of that Bhagavad Gita of Ramayana."
