Lakshman also known as Gudakesh (who has won over sleep cycle)

Lakshman did not sleep for the entire period of the exile of 14 years in order to protect Shree Rama and Maa Sita.

Because of this he is called as Gudakesh.

When the goddess of sleep appeared before him at the first night of the their exile to the forests and when Rama and Sita were asleep, Lakshman requested the goddess to give him no sleep for the entire 14 years, so that he can be awake to protect his beloved brother and Sita.

The goddess was impressed by this and granted the boon on a condition that someone else have to bear his sleep. On Lakshman request the goddess visited his wife Urmila, sister of Sita. Urmila agreed to share her husband loss of sleep, and thus slept for entire 14 years.

Hence the reason she is not much in the story, but a strong reason for helping Laksman to kill Ravana son Meghnadh in the war against to Ravana as Meghnadh could be killed only by a man who have not slept for 14 years.

It is said that the one who bears the dust thrown from the hoof of Gaumata on his head, as if taking a bath in the water of the teerth sthalam and getting rid of all sins.

Ved and all other Hindu scriptures venerate the cow. The Vedic dictionary, Nighantu, gives amongst other synonyms of 'Gau' [ or cow] the words 'Aghnya', 'Ahi', and 'Aditi'.

Yaska the vedic decoder and commentator on Nighantu, defines these as-

Aghnya —— the one that ought not to be killed
Ahi —— the one that must not be slaughtered.
Aditi —— the one that ought not to be cut into pieces.

These three names of cow signify that this is an animal which should not to be put to tortures. These words appear frequently throughout the Veda in context of the cow.

But in due course the falsehood of killing cows spread far and wide and they became even more deep rooted when western scholars with their half baked knowledge of Sanskrit transliterated these interpretations of commentaries of Sayanacharya ,

Shri Hanuman, the cosmic form of energy, strength, intellect and devotion is always seen adorned with sindoor all his body.
But, behind this sindoori colour is a beautiful story which depicts the devotion of Hanuman for Shri Ram.

As Sita Mata adorned herself, she applied sindoor to her forehead. Inquisitive Hanuman observed this action and asked her the reason for doing so. She smiled and replied that by applying sindoor, she ensured a long life for her husband Shri Ram.

The more sindoor she applied, the longer Shri Ram's life would be.
Devoted Hanuman was excited to hear this. Because of his love for Shri Ram, he immediately went forward and smeared his entire body with sindoor, in an effort to ensure Rama’s immortality.

Shri Ram and Sita Mata saw that Hanuman was completly covered in sindoor from head to toe and was curious as to know why.
Hanumanji related his conversation with Sita Mata and thought that if a little pinch of sindoor could do so much for his Swamy,

imagine the protection if Hanuman covered his entire body with it.

Sita Mata, moved by the gesture, explained to Hanuman that applying sindoor was a tradition for married women. Shri Ram, too, was deeply touched by his bhakta's devotion.

Sita Maa was now sobing in the Ashok vatika. She forgot about Bhagwan Ram as She was only thinking about death. This moment to Hanumanji felt like years.

कपि करि हृदयँ बिचार दीन्हि मुद्रिका डारि तब।
जनु असोक अंगार दीन्ह हरषि उठि कर गहेउ॥

Hanumanji bowed to Sitaji in His mind and dropped Bhagwan Ram’s ring. Sitaji sprang up with joy and took it in Her hand as though the Ashok tree had thrown a spark.

Sitaji recognised the ring with the name Ram engraved on it. She now remembered Ram and forgot death. She was in a dilemma. My Swamy's ring here? How? The Bhagwan is invincible so no one can attain this ring by conquering Him nor can it be re-made deceitfully.

At that time, Hanumanji began narrating Shri Ram Katha.

रामचंद्र गुन बरनैं लागा। सुनतहिं सीता कर दुख भागा॥
लागीं सुनैं श्रवन मन लाई। आदिहु तें सब कथा सुनाई

When Hanumanji narrates a katha, the listener’s sorrows leave immediately. Sitaji’s sadness disappeared.

She began to listen to the katha intently. When Hanumanji finished, Sitaji asked, “𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒐𝒏 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒏𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒔𝒖𝒄𝒉 𝒂 𝒃𝒆𝒂𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝒌𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒂 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇?
