In the Vedas there is reference to an army of monkeys...?

Question

are they being literal, or is this a metaphor, or what?

Answer 1

I could be wrong but this could be a reference to the army of monkeys that carried Rama and Lakshmana across the ocean to Lanka to rescue Rama's wife Sita. I would have to see the exact context to determine if its literal or metaphoric but I'm thinking it might be telling the actual story, in which case the reference would be literal. The Vedas are the original source of all knowledge and came from Brahma's mouth if I am not mistaken. I know that Ramayana is an epic and scholarly work in its own right, but there's nothing else from which an army of monkeys comes to mind.

Answer 2

There is no ARMY OF MONKEYS in VEDAS. It is only in the GREAT HINDU EPIC RAMAYANA. When Rama was heading towards SRI LANKA to get back is wife MATA SITA the army of money helped Rama to build a bridge between India and Sri Lanka to cross the ocean. This is is still in existence as per the declarations by NASA and the Photos taken and published by them. This bridge was submerged. So there is not metaphor or anything it is all real happening. -

Is this the one with an army of typewriters and one of them manages to bang out Hamlet?
