HANUMANS’S SEARCH FOR
SITA
By reciting one
Hare Krishna mantra a player is chosen to hide a small object which
will represent hanuman searching for Sita throughout Lanka. They turn
their backs while the object is being hidden. Then they start
searching. To help them discover Sita, the child who hid the object
gives indications of how close Hanuman is to Sita, such as: (if Hanuman
is very far from her) “Hanuman is at the gate of Lanka”, (if he gets
closer) “Hanuman is inside the city”, (when he gets even closer)
“Hanuman is in Ravana’s palace”, (and when he gets very, very close)
“Hanuman is in the Ashoka garden”. Whoever finds the object becomes the
next player to hide Sita.
