After the victory of Rama over Ravana, Hanuman went to the Himalayas to continue his worship of the Lord. There he scripted a version of the Ramayana on the Himalayan mountains using his nails, recording every detail of Rama's deeds. When Maharishi VALMIKI visited him to show him his own version of the Ramayana, he also saw Lord Hanuman's version and became very disappointed. When Hanuman asked him the cause of his sorrow, he said that his version, which he had created very laboriously was no match for the splendour of Hanuman's, and would therefore, go ignored. At this, Hanuman took those rocks on one shoulder and Valmiki on the other, and went to the sea. There he threw his own version into the sea, as an offering to Rama. This version, called the Hanumad Ramayana, has been unavailable since then.
Maharishi Valmiki was so taken aback that he said he would take another birth to sing the glory of Hanuman which he had understated in his version. It is said that Saint TULSIDAS who composed the RAMCHARITMANAS was none other than the Maharishi Valmiki reborn to fulfill his desire.
once, on the news channel SAHARA SAMAY this story was also shown ,when they were showing the biggest library of HANUMANJI'S book at LUCKNOW !!!
the owner of tht library said tht HANUMANJI wrote A RAMAYAN know as HANUMAD RAMAYAN .
