As per the Hindu mythology, Lord Hanuman is the 11 th incarnation of Lord Shiva. Hanuman is believed to born to Anjana and Kapiraj Kesari (king of vanara community).
The story begins when a great saint Angira visits the heaven king Indra. Indra in pride of his kingdom and wealth, organises a dance for the saint by his most beautiful Apsara (damsel), Punjikasthala. As the saint was not interested in such dance performance, he started meditating on the name of his lord. Once, the event came to an end, Indra asked the saint as if he liked the performance. Saint Angira in response, said that he had no interest in such dance and was in deep meditation. On hearing this, the Apsara started dismaying the saint.
Thus, the saint cursed that Apsara that she would be degraded from Swarg (heaven) and will take birth as a female monkey on earth. Apsara realized her mistake and asked for forgiveness. On this, the saint said that he couldn’t take his words back but, Punjikasthala would be blessed with a son, who would be a great devotee of Primatama. Hence, Punjikasthala later, as Anjani, gave birth to Lord Hanuman with the great five divine factors. These factors were:
This was how Anjani Pawan Putra was born and named as Maruti. But, what is the reason majority of us worship him as ‘Lord Hanuman’ instead of his birth name, Maruti. Let’s find out..
Lord Hanuman is considered to be a passionate and fervid devotee of Lord Rama. The story begins at the time of Rama’s exile when Lord Hanuman met his deity (Lord Rama).
Hanuman played a pivotal role when Maa Sita was abducted by Ravana and kept in Ashok Vatika in Lanka. Nobody was able to find Sita, but Hanuman with his powers, brains, and ability, was able to find out Mata Sita.
Hanuman had the power to disguise his appearance, when Ravana got to know about this, he decided to burn Hanuman’s tail. But Hauman lengthened his tail and burnt a large part of Lanka with a burning tail. He took the message of Maa Sita and told Rama to rescue her from Ravana. This step resulted in a war between Lord Rama and Ravana.
During the war, Lakshman (Lord Rama’s brother) was injured and there was
no hope for him to survive. As told by Viad (doctor) that the mountains of Dronagiri
had a life saving medicine, named as Sanjivani, Hanuman with his special powers
carried the entire Parvat, in order to save the life of Laxman. Post this event,
he was regarded as Lord Rama’s dear brother.
Once the war came to an end, Lord Rama along with Mata Sita and brother Laxman, returned to Ayodhya. Lord Hanuman devoted his entire life to Lord Rama.
It is also believed that Lord Hanuman is the only god who stays on earth with all his devotees. This is because of the boon given to Lord Hanuman by Lord Rama for his sincere Bhakti (devotion) and dedication.
Considering all the above incidents, we can say that these are the reasons why we worship Maruti as Lord Hanuman.
Hence, be it any name like Sankat Mochan,
Bajrangbali, Anjaneya, Bajrang Bali, Maruti, Pavan Kumar, Kesari Nandan, Bajrangi, Anjani Putra, Pavan Putra, Rudra, Mahavir, the Almighty is always there with us in our good or bad times
