Reading Notes: Sita's Ramayana Part C

 Reading Notes from Sita's Ramayana by Samhita Arni and Moyna Chitrakar.

I don't want to stop reading this book, so I decided to work ahead and finish all the reading notes before writing my stories for Weeks 12 and 13.

In this part of the book, we are regaled with many tales of the battle between Rama's army and the rakshasas of Lanka. One such story was the tale of Hanuman's journey to the Gandhamadhana hill in order to find a special herb that would revive the mortally wounded Lakshmana. Hanuman overcame multiple tricks by Ravana during his journey and even carried the entire Gandhamadhana hill back to Lakshmana in order to save him.

I'd like to tell this tale from the eyes of Hanuman, and perhaps include flashbacks to other times that he helped Rama and Lakshmana in their quest to free Sita from Ravana.
