Lord Hanuman | Why Worship Lord Hanuman | Who is Lord Hanuman | Benefits of Worshipping Hanuman

Lord Hanuman is a highly revered deity in Hindu mythology. He is worshipped as the embodiment of strength, courage, devotion, and loyalty. The son of the Wind God, Vayu, and Anjana, Hanuman is considered one of the most important figures in Hinduism, and his stories continue to inspire and guide people across the world.

The Legend of Lord Hanuman

According to Hindu mythology, Hanuman was born in a forest to Anjana and Kesari, the King of the Monkeys. The couple had been granted a boon by Lord Shiva, which made their son immortal and invincible. As a child, Hanuman was mischievous and playful, but he was also highly intelligent and possessed great strength.

One day, while playing with his friends, Hanuman saw the sun and mistook it for a fruit. He flew up to grab it but was stopped by Lord Indra, the King of the Gods, who struck him with a thunderbolt. The blow injured Hanuman and knocked him to the ground, where he lay unconscious. However, the Wind God, Vayu, was furious that his son had been hurt and stopped the wind from blowing, causing chaos across the world.

Realizing the severity of the situation, the Gods and Goddesses went to Lord Brahma for help. Brahma agreed to grant Hanuman the power of immortality, which would protect him from any further harm. He also gave Hanuman the ability to fly, making him one of the most powerful beings in the universe. As Hanuman grew up, he became a devotee of Lord Rama, the seventh incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Hanuman was extremely loyal to Lord Rama, and he played a crucial role in helping Rama rescue his wife, Sita, who had been kidnapped by the demon king, Ravana.

Hanuman's Role in the Ramayana

The Ramayana is one of the most famous Hindu epics, and it tells the story of Lord Rama's journey to rescue his wife, Sita, from the clutches of the demon king, Ravana. Hanuman played a pivotal role in the epic, and his loyalty and devotion to Lord Rama are some of the most significant aspects of the story. When Sita was kidnapped by Ravana, Lord Rama and his brother, Lakshmana, set out to rescue her. Along the way, they met Hanuman, who had been sent by Lord Rama's friend, Sugriva, to help them in their quest.

Hanuman was instrumental in helping Rama and Lakshmana locate Sita, and he played a crucial role in the battle against Ravana's army. He also helped Rama and his army build a bridge across the ocean to reach Lanka, where Sita was being held captive. When Rama and his army finally reached Lanka, Hanuman used his powers to fly over the city and locate Sita. He then brought Rama and Lakshmana to her, and they were reunited after months of separation. Hanuman's bravery, loyalty, and devotion to Lord Rama are some of the most inspiring aspects of the Ramayana, and they continue to be celebrated by millions of Hindus around the world.
