The story of Sanjeevni Booti is an important part of the Ramayana. During the epic war between Lord Rama and Ravana, Lakshmana, the younger brother of Lord Rama, was severely injured by an arrow. The royal physician, Sushena, suggested that the only way to save Lakshmana was to bring the Sanjeevni Booti, a powerful life-restoring herb, from the Dronagiri mountain in the Himalayas.
Hanuman, the devoted follower of Lord Rama, took the responsibility to bring the herb. However, when he reached the mountain, he was unable to identify the herb among the many others. In his confusion, he lifted the entire mountain and brought it back to the battlefield. Sushena then identified and used the Sanjeevni Booti to heal Lakshmana.
This story symbolizes Hanuman's devotion and strength, and the miraculous powers of the Sanjeevni Booti.
