What was the power of Hanuman's tail?

 HARE KRISHNA

The physically strongest warrior of Dwaparyuga Bhimasena could not move Shri Hanumanji's tail even a millimetre.

With a contemptuous smile, Bhima grasped the giant ape’s tail with his left hand, but he was not able to move it. Then he tugged at the tail, raised erect like Indra’s weapon with both his hands. But even with both arms, the immensely strong Bhima was unable to move it. His eyebrows contracted. His eyes were dilated. His face became wrinkled with frowns. His body began to sweat. But Bhima could not dislodge it. However much he tried, he was not able to raise the handsome tail. With a face lowered in shame, Bhima stood by the monkey’s side. Kounteya bowed down and joining his hands in salutation, spoke these words.

Shri Hanumanji burnt entire Lanka in front of loser ravan and bhagoda meghnat using his tail. Tha tlanka which was unable to be entered by all gods including Indra.

Having seen the fearful and the terrible act in Lanka done by Hanuma, like Devendra the powerful King of celestials, Ravana with his face descended a little with shame, spoke to the demons as follows:"By him, who was only a monkey, the irresistible City of Lanka was entered into and was over-powered. Seetha the daughter of Janaka was also discovered by him.The thousand-pillared building used as a sanctuary was assaulted by Hanuma. Our most excellent demons were killed. The entire City of Lanka was made turbid.

Shri Hanumanji effortlessly lifted entire Drona mountain on his tail. Even when hundreds of Devas and celestials were residing on it for its protection.

Hanūmat having reached (the mountain) Droṇa and having put that great mountain called Droṇa on his tail quickly started for the battlefield. O brāhmaṇa, when he was engaged in carrying it, the mountain shook. Seeing it shaking the hosts of deities protecting it wailed and said: “What is this happening on the mountain? Who is this hero of great power and valour that is taking away this (mountain)?” Doing (i.e. saying) so all the gods together saw the monkey.
