Team Motivation-The Crossing of the Sea by Hanuman.

The Crossing of the Sea by Hanuman.
Learning that Seeta was prisoner in Lanka, the Vanaras headed by Angada(Son of Vali).In that group were many heroes including the mighty Hanuman and the wise Jambavan.
When they reached the edge of the sea, the team of Vanaras were filled with fear and anxiety and started discussing how can we cross the sea and return?
Angada said: Courage is the key to do any task and then he addressed his team and said, I have heard and known that you all have great prowess and strength.We should fulfil this task of finding Seeta and without that we cannot return to our land.So tell me the longest jump each one have strength and courage to attempt?
So one by one the Vanaras said 20 Yojanas, 30, and each one started improving on the other.Then Jambavan said, I am the oldest of the warriors, I can manage 90 but that will not be enough for the task.
Then Angada said I can do 100, but that is enough to cross the sea but I dont know whether I can return?
During this whole episode, Hanuman was listening sitting apart and silent.
Jambavan said: “I think the son of Vaayu, is the best person who has the strength and skill”
He brought Hanuman to the midst of them and said to him:”Why are you silent, do you not surpass all of us in strength? You are equal to Rama and lakshmana in Strength.The light of your shouldes is equal to Garuda, the king of birds, who can cross the sea. Your father Vaayu promised your mother that you will be the mightiest and most intelligent of the Vanaras.In you child you flew towards sun to puck it.
Dont be modest.Increase your stature , you can cross the sea and our Sole hope.”

Encouraged and reminded of his prowess, Hanuman grew in size and with enthusiam and faith told that he will fulfill the words by flying to Lanka and see Seeta and return with the good news.

Motivation is needed to encourage and remind people of their potential, it was needed even for Hanuman.
