ReviewsA big plus for the restless reader is that each story is self-contained. Surely if a monkey can embody our highest human potential, there is hope for all of us., . . . this book is like a wonderfully detailed refresher course that also has some new insights on all things Hanuman. However, I think it would also work well for someone who has always wondered about the Hindu monkey deity, but hasn't wanted to go through assorted religious texts to learn more., Beautifully written, engrossing and inspiring, it would be difficult to praise this book too highly., With spellbinding luminosity, master storyteller Vanamali propels the reader into transcendental realms of inspiring valor and sublime devotion. With illuminating authenticity, Vanamali, again and again, showers us with the ambrosia of Sri Hanuman's devotion to Lord Rama., Vanamali Devi has done a beautiful and inspiring job of making Hanuman a palpable life, worthy of love, devotion, and respect.
