Someone asked Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Ji, "Please tell us something about Ramayana & Hanuman Ji?"
Sri Sri replied that Ramayana is happening in your own body - Soul as Rama, Mind as Sita, Breath or Life Force as Hanuman, Awareness as Laxman, and Ego as Ravana. When Sita (mind) was stolen by Ego (Ravana), then the soul (Rama) became restless. With the help of Breath (Hanuman), the Mind reunited with her Soul (Rama), and Ego (Ravana) vanished. This is the spiritual significance of the story.
