HINDU TALISMAN OR GOOD LUCK TOKEN The enclosed Good-Luck Piece is a reproduction of HANUMAN, the Monkey God, and is the most popular form of Talisman for Luck, Health and Good Fortune among the Hindus, and his wonderful exploits are a constant theme of interest from childhood to old age. He was unequaled in learning, knowledge of medicine and magic, and his skill and cunning in defeating his enemies were superhuman. He fought for RAMA, who was an incarnation of Vishnu, performing on his behalf prodigious feats of valor. On one occasion, whilst fighting against Ravana, the king of Demons, his enemies greased his enormous tail and set it on fire, but only to their discomfiture, for with it HANUMAN, burnt down LANKA, their capital city. "LUCK IS THE ALLY OF DREAMS THE COMPANION OF FAITH, AND HE WHO CHERISHES A TALISMAN IS NEVER WTHOUT (sic) HOPE." May this Talisman be a Token of Good Luck to you. B.
