BAJRANGBALI

The hero of epic proportions.

The one who lit up Lanka and almost undid the Lord's leela (divine sport) in a moment’s rush of blood.

The lifeline of the Lord's longing for His lost beloved as he leapt across the turbulent waters in an act of valorous faith.

The one that so imprinted the Lord's image on his pure heart that he lost sight of all else -- space, time, causality et al, and merged in the Absolute of indefinable essence.

The progeny of Marut, Maruti remains the shadow of the one who is the substance of his pure soul, the Lord Ramachandra of loving remembrance.
