Hanuman Jayanthi

Long ago, there was a kind lady named Anjana. She was once a beautiful angel, but due to a curse, she had to live on Earth as a human. To break the curse, she prayed to Lord Shiva and asked for a child who would be strong, wise, and full of goodness.

Her husband, Kesari, a brave monkey chief, also prayed for a great son.

🌬️ The Wind God Brings a Blessing

At the same time, far away in Ayodhya, King Dasharatha was doing a special fire ritual to have sons. The gods gave him a bowl of magic kheer (sweet rice pudding) to share with his queens.

Now here’s where something amazing happened!

The Wind God, Vayu, carried a bit of that divine kheer through the sky and placed it gently in Anjana’s hands. She took it as a gift from the gods and ate it.

✨ Baby Hanuman is Born!

Soon, Anjana had a baby boy — but not just any baby!

He had the face of a monkey, sparkling eyes, and a bright glow all around him. He was strong, fast, and full of energy from the moment he was born. The gods smiled, and the wind blew softly, as if the world was celebrating.

This special baby was Hanuman, the son of the Wind God, the blessing of Lord Shiva, and the future hero of the Ramayana!

☀️ Hanuman Tries to Eat the Sun!

When Hanuman was a baby, he once saw the bright sun in the sky and thought it was a big, juicy mango. Guess what he did?

He jumped into the sky to grab it!

The gods were amazed by his power and had to calm him down. Even as a child, Hanuman showed how brave and strong he was.

🌟 Why Everyone Loves Hanuman

Hanuman is known for his super strength, his loyal heart, and his love for Lord Rama. He helps those in need, never gives up, and always uses his powers for good.

Every year, we celebrate his birthday as Hanuman Jayanti, with prayers, songs, and sweets!

💛 The Monkey God Who Teaches Us Goodness

Hanuman teaches us that it’s not muscles that make a hero — it’s kindness, courage, and doing the right thing. Whether he’s flying across oceans or helping a friend, Hanuman is always full of love and energy.

So next time you hear the wind whooshing by, just smile… it might be Hanuman flying to help someone!
