🌻Hanuman Jayanti festive story🌻
There are many stories prevalent about Hanuman’s birth. But there are mainly two stories that are popular about the birth of Hanuman Ji.
In her childhood, Mother Anjana saw a monkey meditating while standing on her feet, so she killed that monkey by throwing fruit. That monkey turned into a sage and became angry when his penance was broken. He cursed Anjana, saying that the day she falls in love with someone, she will turn into a monkey.
After some time, Anjana started living in the forests. There he met Kesari, who, after falling in love with him, became a monkey, and Kesari, while telling Anjana about himself, told Anjana that he was the king of monkeys. Anjana agreed to Kesari’s proposal, and both of them got married. Anjana performed severe penance and asked Lord Shiva to have a son like her.
On the other hand, King Dasharatha of Ayodhya organized Putrakamesthi Yagya to have a son. After pleasing Agni Dev, he wished for sons with divine qualities. The fire god was pleased and gave a sacred pudding to Dashrath, who asked him to distribute it among the three wives. The king delivered the halwa to the elder queen with a kite, and somewhere in the middle, Mata Anjana was praying. The halwa fell into the havan bowl, and Mata Anjana accepted that halwa. After eating it, she felt as if Lord Shiva had taken up residence in her womb. After this, she gave birth to Hanuman Ji.
💐The second story related to Hanuman’s birth is💐
Kesari had his kingdom in Sumeru, which was made of gold from the blessings of the sun. He had a very beautiful woman named Anjana. Once, Anjana took a clean bath and wore beautiful clothes and jewelry. At that time, the wind god entered his ear hole and, while coming, assured that he would have a son as bright as the sun, fire and gold, knowledgeable of the Vedas, and the most powerful son in the world, so it happened.
On Kartik, Krishna Chaturdashi, Anjana gave birth to Hanuman ji. After some time, as soon as the sun rose, the child felt hungry. Mother had just gone to bring fruits when Hanuman Ji jumped into the sky to collect the red sun as a fruit.
On that day, due to Amavasya, Rahu had also come to attack the Sun, but considering Hanuman ji as the second Rahu, he ran away from there. Then Indra attacked Hanuman Ji with his thunderbolt. Due to this, Hanuman Ji became unconscious. To punish this impudence of Indra, the wind god stopped the circulation of air on earth. Then Indradev apologized for his actions, and Lord Shiva cured Hanuman ji. After which Pawandev agreed and started the circulation of air on the earth smoothly again. Then all the gods, including Brahma, gave boons to Hanuman. It was due to the influence of such boons that Hanuman Ji went ahead and performed acts of immense bravery.
