Biography Hanuman is the son of Vayu,the God of Wind.He is humble yet very brave.Hanuman's divine strength, mental discipline and spiritual purity have made him extremely popular in Hindus all over the world. Brihaspati had an attendant called Punjikasthala, who was cursed to assume the form of a female monkeywho could be reinstated if she would give birth to an incarnation of Lord Shiva. Reborn as Anjana, she
intensely worshipped Lord Shiva, who fwas pleased and granted
her the boon that would release her off the curse.The god of fire,Agni, gave
Dasharath,the king of Ayodhya, a bowl of divine pudding to
share among his wives to have divine children,when an
eagle snatched a part of the pudding and dropped it where
Anjana was meditating.The god of wind,Pavan, blew the
pudding to her outstretched hands. After she had the divine pudding, God Hanuman was born,who was the incarnation of Lord Shiva as a monkey.The birth was by the blessings of God of Wind,Pavan, who thus became Hanuman's father and Hanuman is named as PavanPutra.The birth of Hanuman released Anjana from the curse. She assured him that he would never die, and said that fruits as ripe as the rising sun would be his food. Mistaking the glowing sun as his food, the divine baby leapt for it. Indra
struck him with his thunderbolt and hurled him down to earth.But Hanuman's father,
Pavan carried him to the nether world, 'Patala'. As he departed from
the earth, all living beings panted for
air, and Brahma had to beg him to return. In order to appease
him they conferred a lot of boons and blessings on his foster
child that made Hanuman immortal and super powerful. Hanuman is popular from the Indian epic,Ramayana.Sita, the wife of
Prince Rama,was abducted by the demon king Ravana. Hanuman leads his
army of monkeys and builds a bridge from India to the island of
Lanka, where Sita was cordoned.
