Suddenly a samadi bird appeared from the sky above and snatched away the rice pudding part from Sumitra‘s hand, and quickly fled away in the sky. All this happened in spur of the moment. What can be done now? Such big yagya and after obtaining the final blessing, to be snatched away. Sumitraaji began to cry. Because through thaose blessing each of the queens was to blessed with child. Great king Dashrath glanced at great rushi Vashishtha. Consoling Sumitraa, Vashishtha said: ―Devi, do not cry. Whatever happens is by divine providence. The samadi who snatched your blessing was no ordinary bird. It is Ishwar‘s playact. The blessing from your hand has reached mountain Sumeru residing Anjanaa. By the effect of that blassing, she will carry a child and so Anjani son Hanumaan will be born. Saying thus, guru took some of the blessing from Kaushalyaa hand and some from Kaikai‘s hand and gave to Sumitraa. All the three queens partook the blessing and by the effect of the blessing Kaushalyaa bore maryaadaa-purushottam (supreme of restraintmodesty) Sri Raam, Kaikai bore Bharat and Sumitraa gave birth to sons Lakshaman and Shatrughna. By the curse of great sage Angiraa, Punjaksthali had already taken birth as Anjanaa. At the appropriate age she was wedded to monkey king Kesari. But Anjanaa-devi had no children yet. Once kapi king Kesari and Anjanaa were roaming in human form on the summit of Mount Sumeru. Soft breeze was blowing, where upon a slight wind blew off Anjanaa‘s sari‘s end was displaced. She felt someone was secretly touching her. So Anjanaa replacing her sari said in terse voice: ― Who are you breaking my penance of worship in the presence of my husband? Say quick or else I will cusrse you to reduce you to ashes.‖ As if replying to her, the wind deity said in Anjanaa‘s ear: ―Sati, I have not broken your penance, but by the wish of Bhagwaan Shankar, I have deposited his divine luminosity in your body. By this you will bear a valiant and intellectual son like myself.‖ Thereafter Anjanaa and Kesari went back to their abode. Sati Anjanaa carried a child from that day. The married couple were overjoyed. The full moon day of the bright half of the Chaitra month on Tuesday arrived. Mother Anjanaa‘s lap was blessed complete by young-sun like fascinating child of red complexion. All the deities were very pleased. The rushis and the mendicants showered their blessings. Hills, mountains, rivers, veils and flora trees showered their nectar. Anjanaa‘s beloved was born. What is the difference between the devotee and Bhagwaan?. Where the very Go-swaami says: ―Raam te adhik Raam-kar daasaa‖ Greater than Raam is Raam‘s humble servant. Exploits from youth [ 4 ] Leaving the child at home, Anjanaa had gone to pick flowers andfruit. Kesari had already gone out.. The child was alone in the homeand was hungry. But he could not find anything suitable to eat. Eventually his sight rested on the rising sun. The child only knew at that age that ripe fruit was red in colour. 92 | P a g e

The child thought how wonderful was the fruit in the sky? It will help to play as well eat it. So he stretched out his hands to reach the sun. By the grace of the wind deity, he had achieved the capability to fly. Also he was the eleventh incarnation of Rudra, so where was the delay in going the sky way? The child took to the sky. Deities, demons, yakshas (servants of Kuber – the wealth deity), rushis and mendicants were all taken by surprise. The wind deity was also put into doubt that his little boy was proceeding towards the sun, and that he get burned by the heat of the sun‘s rays. The wind deity blew from the Vindhyaachal mountain taking with him the coolness and followed him. The sun deity also saw the child coming. He was quite aware of the brilliance of this child. And he had the vision that really the Rudra deity was coming. As the child proceeded nearer, the sun deity cooled its rays. And as if welcoming the father of the creation, he spread his cool rays about. The child reached the chariot of the sun. And thining of the sun ray as a toy, he began to play with it. Just about that moment it was time for the eclipse. So the planet Raahu had come to devour the sun. He observed that a limitless strong boy was seated in the sun‘s chariot. Initially he tried to snatch away the sun from his hand. But the child thinking of Raahu as another food to eat grabbed him in his hand. Raahu got frightened. And he somehow wriggled himself from the grab of the boy and ran to Indradev. Reaching Indradev, Raahu said: ―King of the deities! You gave me permission to devour the sun on sacred days. Why have you permitted someone else with that right?‖ Indra could not comprehend Raahu‘s complaint. So taking his Vajra weapon he went with Raahu to where the sun was. Seeing Indra, the child put the sun rays in his mouth. All the three worlds were engulfed in darkness. Indra could not think of any resolve. So he struck his vajra at the child. The child fainted for a moment. He fell on the earth. By the strike of Indra‘s vajra, his chin bone got bent, therby he was called Hanumaan. Vaayuev (the wind deity) got cross by Indra‘s strike of vajra weapon. He got very angry at Indra. He stopped all his movements. The whole world became breathless. The deities went to Lord Bhrahmaa, and Lord Bhahmaa taking all the deities with him came to the abode of Anjanaadevi. Bhrahmaaji smothered his hand on the child‘s head. And the child woke up from his fainting. Bhrahmaaji said to the deities: ―This is no ordinary child. He is the Rudra incarnation to fulfil the deities tasks. So each deity should award him a boon and give him their energy.‖ So all the deities individually gave boon to the child and parted him with their energies. The wind deity was very pleased. The sun deity got liberated. And he parted a hundredth part of his luminosity to Hanumaanji and departed for his abode. He also promised to educate the child he grew up. Yamraaj (deity of death) freed him from noose of death. The wind deity for ever freed from the effects of his weapon – Varunaastra. And also blessed him with unfailing act of swimming. Kuber (deity of wealth) awarded him with his weapons. Bhrahmji blessed him everlasting life and his bhrahmaastr weapon. All the deities prayed to Hanumaanji as the Rudra and went back to their abodes. Vaayudev giving custody of the child to Anjanaadevi said: ―Your son will be immortal, taking on any form he wishes, great hero and intellectual. He will be Bhagwaan Raamchandraji‘s unparalleled devotee and friend. His fame will spread in all the three 93 | P a g e
