In the Adhyatma Ramayana, Hanuman Ji tells Angada: ‘We are all celestial attendants of Lord Vishnu in Vaikuntha. When he incarnated himself as a man, we too descended as vanara. In the Oriya Rasavinoda of Dinakrishnadasa, the trinity of Shri Brahma, Shri Vishnu, and Lord Shiva together appears in the form of Hanuman. Goswami Tulsidas, the greatest of all poets pays obeisance to Hanuman Ji as ‘Mahadeva’, ‘Kapali’, ‘Rudravatara’, ‘Vanarakara-vigraha Purari’, which are also appellations of Shiva or Rudra. In a number of Puranas ; Skanda, Bhagavata, Narada, and Brihaddharma Puranas, Hanuman Ji has been depicted as Lord Shiva, or his partial incarnation, or as Kapalin, the eleventh Rudra. In the Bengali Krittivasa Ramayana, Maa Sita realizes that Hanuman is Shiva’s incarnation while serving him food.
Maa Sita and lord Rama both had great love for Hanuman Ji and openly expressed their gratitude for his services. In the Ramcharitmanas, Maa Sita says ; May you never grow old or die, my son; be a storehouse of virtue, and may Raghunatha be most gracious unto you. And Lord Rama affirms ; On refection, my son, I have come to the conclusion that I can never repay the debt I owe you.
It is mentioned in Puranas that Hanuman Ji is the son of Vayu from Anjana, hence he is called ‘Vayuputra’. Valmiki and the succeeding narrators also call him by other names with identical meanings: Pavana-suta, Marutatmaja, Gandhavahatmaja, and so on. In South India, people especially love to address Hanuman as Anjaneya. In his Hanuman Chalisa, Tulsidas addresses him as Shankara Suvana, son of Shiva; Kesarinandana, the joy of Kesari; Anjaniputra, Anjani’s son; and Pavanasuta, son of the Wind.!
Jai Shri Ram ~ Jai Rudra Ke Roop Hanuman! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
