About The Book

From the misty peaks of the Himalayas to the bustling streets of Jakarta, from ancient Sanskrit verses to modern children’s tales, the Monkey God lives on – leaping across continents, centuries, and cultures. The Monkey God is not merely a retelling of Hanuman’s legend; it is a journey through the world’s imagination-where devotion meets wonder, and myth breathes through every tongue.Each chapter opens a window into a different world: Hanuman as a warrior, a scholar, a son, a seeker, and a friend. You’ll meet him in temples and theatres, in the echoes of Jataka tales and the rhythm of Thai dances, in the stillness of meditation and the laughter of bedtime stories.Warmly written and lovingly arranged – with tales, reflections, and the Hanuman Chalisa rendered in three scripts- this book is a celebration of faith that transcends borders. It invites readers young and old to rediscover Hanuman not just as a deity, but as a living spirit of courage, compassion, and eternal curiosity.Let The Monkey God leap from these pages into your heart – and stay there forever.
