Hanuman, the monkey god of Hinduism and son of Vayu (God of Wind) and Anjana, is the ultimate personification of devotion. Hanuman is the only character who appears both in the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. Moreover, we find a description of Hanuman in the Agni Purana.His devotion and loyalty to Rama is beyond any comparison. Lord Hanuman is worshipped in a number of temples in India. Sometimes his idol is set up standing alone or sometimes he is worshipped with a Rama-Sita duo image.
Worshipped for strength and prosperity, Hanuman is also the most favoured deity of young men, especially wrestlers and sportsmen. Tales of his bravery, valour and wit have regaled many generations, as have stories of how he changed his shape and size to get the better of a demon or hostile creature in his various endeavours.
In his childhood, Hanuman saw the Sun and was sure it was a ripe fruit hanging in the sky. He increased his size, leapt up into the sky and swallowed the Sun. All the gods and goddesses were worried as darkness filled the universe with the disappearance of the sun. Realizing Hanuman’s power, they all pleaded with him to release the sun. Hanuman complied, and the universe was saved.
In another story, Hanuman was swallowed by a demon. He then increased his size, till eventually the demon was forced to release him. In yet another story, Lord Hanuman made himself very tiny after being swallowed by a demon. Then he came out through the demon’s ear.
Lord Hanuman’s exploits are also narrated in the stories of Ramayana. When he allowed himself to be caught in Lanka and his tail was set on fire, he set himself free, and leapt from building to building, palace to palace, razing down the beautiful city of Lanka, with his burning tail. Then again, in one of the battles between Rama and Ravana, Lakshman fell unconscious. Hanuman was told to get the herb Sanjivani before sundown from the Himalayan foothills if Lakshman was to be saved. Hanuman flew there all the way from Lanka, but in spite of searching for the plant, could not locate it. Hence, he lifted the entire mountain and returned to Lanka with it before sundown, thus saving not only Lakshman but many other critically wounded warriors.
Hanuman was also vastly knowledgeable. It has been mentioned in the Ramayana, that
“The Chief of the banarsena was a perfect being. No one could equal him in the learning of scriptures and comprehending their inner meanings. He was also the ninth author of grammar. Rama blessed his greatest devotee Hanuman with perpetual youth and immortality.
