"When Rama and Lakshmana returned to the cottage and found that Sita was not there, their grief knew no bounds.... After long searching, they came across a group of "monkeys", and in the midst of them was Hanumân, the "divine monkey". Hanuman, the best of the monkeys, became the most faithful servant of Rama and helped him in rescuing Sita. His devotion to Rama was so great that he is still worshipped by the Hindus as the ideal of a true servant of the Lord...the "monkeys" and "demons" are meant the aborigines of South India."
