Lord Hanuman is an avatar of the Lord Shiva. Hanuman Ji is mentioned as an avatar of Shiva or Rudra in the Sanskrit texts like the Mahabhagvata Purana, the Skanda Purana, the Brhaddharma Purana and the Mahanataka among others. The 17th century Odia work Rasavinoda by Dinakrishnadasa goes on to mention that the three gods ~ Shri Brahma, Shri Vishnu and Lord Shiva combined to take to the form of Lord Hanuman. Hanuman Ji became more important and came to be portrayed as the ideal devotee of Lord Rama. He is characterised as a lifelong Bramhachari (celibate). Hanuman jis celibacy is the source of his strength, became popular among the wrestlers in India. It's also written that Lord Hanuman worshipped Surya Dev as his Guru and studied the Vedas and mastered the Nine Vyakarnas. Being an Aajanma Brahmachari, Lord Hanuman was not eligible to study the Nava Vyakarnas (nine grammers) for which the status of being a Gruhasth was essential. In order to facilitate the completion of his education, the Trimurthis approached SuryaDev. Surya Dev grants him a boon that he will still be a bachelor even after marriage as a Prajapatya Brahmachari and will maintain his celibacy. A beautiful Kanya, Suvarchala Devi, an Aajanma Brahmacharini, was created from Sun's rays and a marriage arranged with Hanuman Ji to make him a Gruhasth, without Brahmacharya being affected. Hanuman Ji obeyed his preceptor’s advice. Surya Dev presented Suvarchala to Hanuman Ji. It is stated in Parasara Samhita that Surya offered his daughter Suvarchala in marriage on Jyeshta Shudha Dasami. Whereby he learnt and became a genius in the Nine Vyakarnas. But after marriage, he spent all his life serving Lord Rama! Jai Shri Ram ~ Jai Mahavir Hanuman! ๐ป๐ป
