Greatness of Lord Hanuman
Hanuman is a unique God of the Hindu pantheon. Also known as Maruthi, he is a great devotee of Lord Rama, the important incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Rama is said to always dwell in the heart of Hanuman and hence, he is often referred to as Rama Baktha Hanuman. He was born as the son of the monkey chieftain Kesari and his spouse Anjana. However, he is believed to be an incarnation of Lord Shiva, and born by the grace of Vayu, the Wind God. Thus, Hanuman has in himself the divine aspects of these two supreme Gods, Vishnu and Shiva. Hanuman is a monkey-faced God and remains as a rare combination of courage, might, scholarship and humility.
Hanuman is said to be Vayu Putra, the son born by the grace of Wind God and hence, he is believed to represent Prana, the life energy and the highly evolved consciousness that it denotes. Hanuman is also a compassionate God who is simple and easily approachable. He gets pleased with sincere devotion and bestows his devotees with many blessings. Hanuman worship can make one, strong and courageous.
