Hanuman
Hanuman, the son of Anjana and the Wind God, Pavana or Vayu, was born a monkey. Yet, he occupies a
prominent place among the Hindu gods for his sterling character. Hanuman is renowned for his strength and valour
besides his steadfast love and loyalty to Lord Rama. He is the embodiment of devotion and power. Hanuman's
unflinching devotion to Rama has made him one of the greatest bhaktas (devotees) ever known. In fact, Hanuman
is often referred to as Ramabhakta Hanuman. His singular worship of Rama made him compassionate. It helped
him leap across 800 miles of ocean to Lanka and console Sita who was pining for Rama, forlorn and lonely in
Ravana's Ashoka garden.

Hanuman was the chief general of the monkey king, Sugreeva. The story of his adventures, particularly after the
monkey army reaches the seashore opposite Lanka, is one of the best efforts of pure imagination to be found in
the Ramayana. Years later, this virtue also helped Hanuman submit himself to the buoyant valour of Rama's
children, Luv and Kush. Serious but never solemn, Hanuman even taunted his half-brother Bheema, the Pandava
prince, who was out on a quest for the flower Kalyanasaugandhika. This incident, in fact, is one of the most
charming and popular episodes in the Mahabharata.
