The Sacred Story of Pavan Putra Hanuman Ji
Introduction
Pavan Putra Hanuman Ji, also lovingly known as Bajrangbali, Anjaneya, Mahaveer, Maruti, and Kesari Nandan, is one of the most revered and beloved deities in Hindu tradition. He is the symbol of strength, devotion, humility, courage, wisdom, and selfless service. Hanuman Ji is primarily known as the greatest devotee of Lord Shri Ram, and his life story is deeply connected with the epic Ramayana. Though he possessed immense power, Hanuman Ji always remained humble and dedicated his every action to the service of Dharma and Lord Ram.
This is the detailed and sacred story of Pavan Putra Hanuman Ji—from his divine birth to his eternal presence as the protector of devotees.
Birth of Hanuman Ji
The birth of Hanuman Ji is a divine event blessed by multiple gods. His mother, Anjana, was an apsara named Punjikasthala who was cursed to be born on Earth as a vanara (monkey). To be freed from the curse, she performed intense penance to please Lord Shiva. Pleased by her devotion, Lord Shiva granted her a boon that he himself would be born as her son.
At the same time, King Dasharatha of Ayodhya was performing the Putrakameshti Yajna for sons. From the sacred fire, divine kheer emerged, which was distributed among his queens.
