Hanuman Jayanti 2025: History
Known by another name, Bajrangbali, Lord Hanuman is one of the most adored characters in Hindu mythology because of his everlasting devotion and unparalleled prowess. The divine wind deity Vayu predetermined Hanuman’s birth. He was born to Anjana, an apsara who was cursed to be a monkey, and Kesari, the king of the monkeys.
Meeting Lord Ram, the seventh incarnation of Lord Vishnu, was a turning point in Hanuman’s divine journey. From that moment on, Hanuman became a symbol of unwavering devotion, dedicating his life to serving Lord Ram, especially during the quest to rescue Goddess Sita from the demon king Ravana.
Driven by loyalty and fearless courage, Hanuman played a crucial role in the battle against Ravana’s forces. One of his most legendary feats was carrying an entire mountain—the Dronagiri—to deliver the Sanjivani herb, a life-saving remedy for Lord Ram’s brother Lakshmana, who had been gravely wounded on the battlefield. This act not only displayed his superhuman strength but also his boundless devotion and selflessness.
