Why Lakshman was reborn as Balrama

• Rama is the incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Laxman,
  Bharat, and Shatrughan are believed to be the
  incarnations of Sheshnag, (mount of Lord Vishnu),
  Shankha (Lord Vishnus conch), and Sudarshan
  Chakra (Lord Vishnus weapon). Lakshman once
  complained to Rama that because he was the
  younger one, he was duty bound to always follow
  Rama's instructions.

Hanumans Birth

• King Dashrath performed a yagna to have
  children,  while Anjana was praying to Lord Shiva
  to have a son. Agni, the god of fire,
  gave prasad to King Dashrath to be shared amongst
  his three wives. An eagle snatched
  some prasad and dropped it. Lord Pavana, the god
  of wind, transported the prasad into Anjanas
  hands and she ate it.

Bajrangbali

• Once Hanuman saw Sita applying vermillion to her
  hair. He asked her why she was doing so. Sita
  told him that it was for the well being and long
  life of Lord Rama. Hearing this, Hanuman applied
  vermillion all over his body. Lord Rama was
  amused at Hanumans devotion and called him
  Bajrangbali. Bajrang means orange.

The Story of the Squirrel

• All the monkey and bear warriors were busy making
  the bridge to connect to Lanka. They were busy
  placing boulders into the sea. A squirrel was
  also picking up little pebbles in her mouth and
  putting it alongside the boulders. A monkey saw
  this, and started mocking the squirrel.
• He told her to move away else she might die if
  she comes under a boulder. The squirrel was upset
  and hurt by the mockery. She went to Lord Rama.
• Lord Rama gently stroked the squirrels back with
  his hand to appreciate the squirrels efforts.
  When he raised his hand, the marks of his fingers
  came upon the body of squirrel in the form of
  brown fur. And ever since then the squirrel has
  carried three white stripes on her back, as a
  token of Ramas affection.
