Hanuman and the vanaras searched for Sita with help from Sampati, learning Ravana had taken her to Lanka. Each vanara claimed they could cross the ocean but Hanuman was silent until Jambhvan praised Hanuman's potential, causing him to grow in strength. When returning, Hanuman relieved the anxious team by saying "I saw Devi Sita" before sharing other details. Ravana advised Lakshman to learn lessons in acting fast when motivated and delaying when not, not underestimating opponents, and keeping secrets of success and failure private.

1. Learnings
Ramayana

2. “Hanuman Complex”
• Lord Hanuman with Jambhvan and other lakhs of vaanras started
to search of Sita
• They got help from Sampati, the bird king, brother of Jatayu that
Ravana is in Lanka
• Now the challenge is who would cross the mighty ocean
• Each Vaanara started claiming about their capability, which may not
sufficient to go and come back
• Hanuman was silent, that moment the grand old bear started
appreciating, praising Hanuman about his enormous potential
• That moment onwards Lord Hanuman started growing leaps and
bounds, with one jump disappeared…rest is history
• His inability to recognise own inner strength was due to a curse
• We need a right person to show also own realisation to assess own
potential

3. Hanuman’s Communication Skills
• Jambhvan and group eagerly waiting for Hanuman’s return, they
were so anxious, tensed since there was no information and the
deadline of King Sugreeva was approaching
• Hanuman knew this,after accomplishing his duty, returning and
approaching his team he could see the excitement , anxiety on all
faces
• He had lot to tell about the happenings at Lanka, his heroics,
destruction of Lanka etc
• But he relaised that he should relax them, the moment he touched
the ground he said … » I saw Devi Sita »,that completely relaxed
whole team and heard other details later
• In Communication, we should be crisp, to the point , conveying right
message, at right time, with right words

4. “Learning from anyone”
• Once Ravana fell to Lord Ram’s ‘ Brahmastra’ ,waiting for
his death at battle field, Rama asked brother Lakshman to
go to Ravana and learn valubale life lessons
• Lakshman went to Ravan but he didnt tell anything,
Lakshman returned
• Rama asked him which side of Ravana he stood,
Lakshman said he was at his head side, to this Rama said
when you go as a shishya or student , he should stand at
the feet of the teacher
• Lakshman went again, Ravan said that he knew Rama
would ask Lakshman to do the same
• Then Ravana gave Lakshman 3 lessons of life

5. “Learning from anyone”
• First was : « Shubahsya Sheegram » Anything one want to do, do it
fast without any delay, and anything one don’t want to do, delay it
• Second was : « Never underestimate your opponents/ enemies/
competitors » Ravan underestimated Humans like Ram and
Lakshman, also the monkeys and paid the price
• Third was : « Never let your secret of success or failure to others »
He revealed about his secret of his life and his vital point to his
brother Vibheeshana, when he joined Rama camp, he revealed this to
Rama
Rama showed a great example of « nothing wrong in learning even
from your advesaries »
