5 Secrets About Lord Hanuman by Rgyan Blog
Lord Hanuman has been worshipped by all devotees who wish to gain strength and courage in their lives. He is probably one of the most revered and celebrated figures in Hindu Mythology.

Anjana was a beautiful woman of Lord Brahma’s celestial palace court. She was cursed by a sage; that when she will fall in love her face would transform to that of a monkey’s. Hearing this, Lord Brahma thought of helping her and she took birth on Earth. Anjana then fell in love with King Kesari, also known as the monkey king and they got married. Anjana was a devotee of Lord Shiva, she continued with her penance to please the God. Lord Shiva was very impressed and in turn, she wished him to be her son so that she would be freed from the curse of the sage.
King Dashrath was performing havan after which the priest gave him kheer to feed all his wives. A portion of his eldest wife, Kaushlya, was snatched by a bird who flew to where Anjana was meditating. Lord Vayu or Pawan, kept the kheer in Anjana’s hand as told by Lord Shiva. Thinking that it was given by Lord Shiva, Anjana ate it and thus gave birth to his incarnation- the son of the Lord of the Winds, Pawan Putra Hanuman.
