Hanuman once applied Sindoor all over his Body
Hanuman once applied Sindoor all over his Body – Lord Hanuman was devotee of Lord Rama. When Bajrang bali (Hanuman) saw Sita applying Sindoor (Vermillion) in her forehead, he asked the reason for the same. Sita replied that it was for unconditional love and long life of Lord Rama, her husband. Hanuman then covered his whole body with Sindoor to prove his love for Lord Rama.
Lord Hanuman (Anjaneya) Once Rejected Sita Maa’s Gift
Lord Hanuman (Anjaneya) Once Rejected Sita Maa’s Gift- When Maa Sita gave him a pearl necklace as a gift he politely rejected it saying he does not accept anything that is devoid of the name of his Lord Rama. To prove his unconditional love to Maa Sita, Hanuman (the ardent devotee of Lord Ram) also ripped off his chest. This was his respect and dedication towards Lord Rama.
Pawanputra Hanuman was an incarnation of Lord Shiva and is considered to be an exemplification of strength, devotion, and perseverance.
Anjana, a beautiful Apsara in celestial palace court of Lord Brahma was cursed by a sage that, the moment she fell in love her face would transform to that of a monkey. Lord Brahma thought of helping her and she took birth on Earth. Later, Anjana fell in love with Kesari, the monkey king and they both married each other. Being an ardent devotee of Lord Shiva, she continued with her tapasya to please the God. Lord Shiva was impressed and she wished him to be her son so that she would be freed from the curse of the sage.
Few days later, King Dasrath was performing a yagna after which the sage gave him kheer to feed all his wives. A portion of Kaushalya, his eldest wife, was snatched by a kite who flew all the way where Anjana was meditating. Lord Vayu (aka Pawan – Wind) on the signal of Lord Shiva kept the kheer in Anjana’s hand. Thinking it as Lord Shiva’s prasad Anjana ate it and thus gave birth to his incarnation – Pawan Putra Hanuman, the son of the Lord of the Winds.
