Birth
According to Hindu legends, Hanuman was born to mother Anjana and father Kesari. Hanuman is also called the son of the deity Vayu (Wind God) because of legends associated with Vayu’s role in Hanuman’s birth.
One story mentioned in Eknath‘s Bhavartha Ramayana (16th century CE) states that when Anjana was worshiping Vayu, the King Dasharatha of Ayodhya was also performing the ritual of Putrakameshti yagna in order to have children.
As a result, he received some sacred pudding (payasam) to be shared by his three wives, leading to the births of Rama, Lakshmana, Bharata, and Shatrughna. By divine ordinance, a kite snatched a fragment of that pudding and dropped it while flying over the forest where Anjana was engaged in worship.
Vayu, the Hindu deity of the wind, delivered the falling pudding to the outstretched hands of Anjana, who consumed it, leading to the birth of Hanuman.
The Ramayana locates the birthplace of Hanuman in Kishkinda. Anjaneri in Nasik, Maharashtra along with Anjeneri Anjanadri (Near Hampi) in Gangavathi Taluk Koppal District, Karnataka is one of a number of places that claim to be the location of Kishkinda.

Thank you so much, Deepak. I appreciate your emotions for all women. You are totally right that men need women in a different form in every phase of life. We women are just pampered by our mom who is the one who raises our valid or invalid tantrums. After being a grown-up women, we try to be a mom to everyone. Sometimes it’s our brother, father, or husband. It’s a woman’s nature to be protective and take care of everyone in the family. I feel blessed because I am born as a woman.🙂🙂

Thank you, Priti. Hanuman Ji is famous for his strength and Bajrang Bali means Vajra. It is actually Vajr-ang which means, the one who has a body (ang) like a diamond (Vajra) which can’t be broken. Bali means the one who possesses strength. Hence, it says that Hanuman is so powerful with a great body.😊
