Ram was elated to see Sita’s jewel. “O Hanuman, you have done the impossible!” Saying so, he hugged Hanuman. After some time, Ram, Lakshman, Hanuman, Sugreev, Angad and Jambvan assembled to discuss the plan to rescue Sita from Lanka. It was absolutely clear that Ravan would not set Sita free without a fight. Ram and Lakshman did not have any army of their own. So, Hanuman requested all the monkeys and bears to aid Ram in this war of justice. A large army was formed, with Angad in command. Strong and planned teamwork was required to accomplish this huge task. So, Ram requested all the monkeys and the bears for their cooperation. Finally, they reached the southern end of India and faced the vast ocean. The sea appeared to be a major hurdle in their journey ahead. Hanuman was the only one who could cross it. But for others, it was altogether an impossible task!
