Hanuman is one of the outstanding figures found in the of the  Ramayana (Ramachandra). See how at the command he crossed the ocean. He had no care for life or death! He was a perfect master of his senses and wonderfully sagacious. You have now to build your life on this great ideal of personal service. Through that, all the other ideals will gradually manifest in life. Obedience to the guru without questioning, and strict observance of Brahmacharya-- this is the secret of success. As on the one hand Hanuman represents the ideal of service, so on the other he represents leonine courage, striking the whole world with awe. He has not the least hesitation in sacrificing his life for the good of Rama. A supreme indifference to everything except the service of Rama, even to the attainment of the status of Brahma and Shiva, the great World- Gods! Only the carrying out of Shri Rama's best is the one vow of this life! Such whole-hearted devotion is wanted." -Swami Vivekananda on Hanuman

Of all the holy books in India, the Ramayana was by far Maharajji's favorite. And within the Ramayana he was particularly fond of the chapter entitled "Sundarakand." ...The Sundarakand concerns the exploits of Hanuman, an extraordinarily charming, wise, powerful, and loving monkey whose sole preoccupation was to serve God in the form of Ram. Maharajji never tired of hearing and repeating the adventures of Hanuman, the Hanuman Chalisa.

  In Luck now this old man always came to see Maharajji, and Maharajji would always ask him to recite from the Ramayana. "Sing this part! Sing the part where..." and so forth. the man would sing and Maharajji would eat his meal. Maharajji would never sniff or anything, but tears would stream down his face like a child. The Sundarakand was his favorite part.

Maharajji use to quote from the Ramayana such things as, " I bow down to Hanuman, whose praises can only be sung by Ram". The stories of Ram are so beautiful that the birds of doubt are chased away."  from Miracle of Love Stories about Neem Karoli Baba by Ram Dass
