Bedtime story:
After the war with Ravana, Rama returns to Ayodhya, and gets coronated, There was now peace and prosperity in his kingdom. Then, everyone wanted to indulge in Rama seva, and all including Seetha, Lakshman, Bharat, Shatrughna, etc divide the duties of his seva.

Hanuman comes a little late, and by that time, all the sevas to Rama were taken. Seeing that he was deprived of Rama seva, he starts crying, and banging his head. Later Vaisishta says, only one job is left. It was a tradition that whenever someone yawns, fingers should be snapped

By someone, Else it would reduce the Aayu of the person who yawned. Vasishta asks Hanuman to take that duty, To snap his fingers whenever Rama yawns. Hanuman was dancing with joy, as he was used to only have his eyes on Rama's feet, now he can watch the beautiful divine face of

Rama always. Seeing the joy of Hanuman, overcome with happiness, Rama thinks in his mind that whenever Hanuman snaps his fingers, he would yawn. Now Hanuman wouldn't leave Rama even when he retires for the day to sleep. Seetha when asks Hanuman to leave, he says, what if Rama

Yawns in sleep, I won't go. When Seetha ma insists he has to leave, Hanuman reluctantly leaves. Then he sits under a tree and thinks I will keep snapping my fingers, so that, whenever he yawns, my Rama's Aayu won't be effected, and keeps snapping his fingers. Rama as he thought

He would yawn whenever Hanuman snaps his fingers, continuously keeps yawning. Seetha ma gets worried and calls the doctors. When nothing was found by doctors, Vaisishta finds it out through his Divya drishti, and with a smile, asks Lakshmana to find Hanuman. When Hanuman comes he

Asks him to stop snapping his fingers, and as soon as he does, Rama stops yawning. Seetha ma seeing this exchanges her duty of washing Rama's feet in trisandhyas with Hanuman. Hanuman is an epitome of DASYA BHAKTI, which made him eligible for the embrace of PARAMATMA 🙏
