Reasons Why Hanuman Was Born In The Form Of A Monkey
Hanuman is one of the important characters in the epic Ramayana. Lord Hanuman is the symbol of power. There are different meanings of the name of Lord Hanuman. Being the son of Vayu, he is known as Pavanputra. He is also called "Brahmachari" among his disciples.
Hanuman is commonly worshiped as the monkey god. There are many stories that explain the birth of Hanuman as a monkey. He is different from all other gods in Hinduism due to his sturdy physique.
The Role Of Shiva And Parvati
According to Hindu mythology, Lord Shiva and Parvati decided to adapt themselves into monkeys and went into the forest to play some adoring games. Parvati became pregnant after that. Lord Shiva was very much well known about his godly responsibilities though he was in disguise and asked the god of wind "Vayu" to come and carry the offspring of Parvati.
Vayu placed the family in the womb of Anjana who prayed for a boy child. There was another story written in the Hindu Puranas about the birth of Hanuman, in which it was written that Anjana wanted a baby boy and for that she worshiped Lord Shiva, and on the other side, king Dasharatha (the father of Ram) was also performing a puja for getting a child. King Dasharath received a sacred pudding from the puja, and the god of wind Vayu delivered the small amount of this pudding to the hand of Anjana and she consumed it and the monkey hero was born.
Anjaneya: The Son Of Anjana
Anjana, an apsara with the form of a monkey who was worshiping Shiva gave birth to a baby boy, and received the offspring of Parvati. Hanuman was born as a result of this, and for this reason, Hanuman is also known as Anjaneya.
