Lord Hanuman, the monkey-god and the constant companion of Lord Rama, is worshipped all over the world. Hanuman Ji has many names. Hanumat, Maruti, Pavan-sut and Anjaneya are some of them. Hanuman ji is the god of strength, power and celibacy. He practiced Brahmacharya throughout his life.
Hanuman Ji is a major character in the Ramayana and his valour and bravery has been described greatly in it. He is described as a monkey god with a stout neck, a rounded reddish face, sharp white teeth, hair that resemble the Ashok flowers and a tail that sways like Lord Indra's banner.
Other than his super human strength, he also possesses the capability to shrink to the size of an ant or grow as large as a mountain when he wishes, as per legends.
It is said that when Lord Vishnu was about to take birth as Rama, Lord Shiva wished to be born on earth to serve Lord Vishnu. Sati Devi was not happy with this because she feared they would have to stay apart. As a compromise, Lord Shiva decided to have his Ansh (a part) to be born on earth. Finally Lord Shiva decided to be born as a monkey who lives a simple and ascetic life. So Lord Shiva was born as Hanuman and served Lord Rama. Hanuman Ji was born to Mata Anjana and King Kesari with the blessings of God Vayu. He is one among the 'Chiranjeevins' or the ones with eternal lives. It is said that Lord Hanuman lives on and to summon him, you only have to pray to him with a true heart. And where ever Lord Rama is worshipped, Lord Hanuman is sure to arrive.! 🐒🕉🌀🎨🙏
Jai Shri Ram ~ Jai Rudra ke Roop Hanuman
Shubh Ratri 🕉🐒🔱
