	Vali (Ramayana) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the Hindu epic Ramayana, the vanara Vali was king of Kishkindha, a son of Indra and the elder brother of Sugriva.
		Vali had been known as a good and pious vanara-king, but had been too arrogant to listen to Sugriva after his brother had sealed the entrance to a cave in which Vali was fighting a rakshasa.
		When Vali had emerged victorious over the rakshasa, he had found that the entrance to the cave was blocked (not a problem for his strength), and had then discovered Sugriva ruling in his place.

	The Hindu : Book Review : Hindu mythology
		While on this job, he has occasion to explain to the modern reader, the chronology of the so-called four Yugas, the 10 incarnations of Vishnu, the Azhvars, the Acharyas and other great spiritual leaders, with a fair degree of accuracy in historicity.
		His account of mantras, miracles and methods of propitiating God by hymn-recitations would be of help to the young men and women of the Hindu diaspora spread out in the West, though smacking of populism to a critic.
		The latter pages, however, take up issues which border on faith, parapsychology, and preternatural phenomena, such as `Brink of death vision', which are, in an honest critic's view, irrelevant, for such a book, they being neither scientifically possible of proving nor ever reproducible as well.

		This caused Vali Ashtomn unnecessary delays in obtaining supplies, entailed confusion in their distribution, and led to suffering beyond what was necessarily the result of the climate and the campaign.A brief description of the method of obtaining supplies will make this point more clear.
		Later, when she was able to review the Vali Ashtot matter calmly, it afforded her some consolation to reflect that things might have been worse.That "garden," together with the "silicial springs"--which she took to be "celestial," there was not much difference the way he pronounced it-- was distinctly reassuring.

		In Hinduism, Hanuman (Sanskrit: हनुमत् Hanumat; nominative singular हनुमान् Hanumān) is a vanara who aided Lord Rama (an avatar of Vishnu) in rescuing His Consort, Sita, from the Rakshasa king Ravana.

		He is symbolized in Hinduism for his unwavering dedication to righteousness, unstinting performance of entrusted duties, and unfailing talents in serving his chosen master.
