Correction: The Actual Name of the Hindu Monkey God
I wish to correct an error I made in my last post, "Biblical Wednesday." The name of the Hindu Monkey God is actually Hanuman, who was a boon companion of Rama, an avatar of the god Vishnu. Hanuman assisted Rama with his war against the Rakshasa king Ravana and helped to rescue Rama's consort, Sita. The full story can be found in the Hindu epic The Ramayama.
