Hanuman Name Origin: It is told in Hindu religious scriptures that Hanuman ji, a great devotee of Lord Shri Ram, is eternal and is living in Kaliyuga also. Tuesday has been dedicated to the worship and fasting of Lord Hanuman. Whereas all the Mars falling in Jyeshtha month are considered very special. Hanuman ji is called the son of Mother Anjani and Kesari ji. He is considered to be Rudravatar of Lord Shiva. In childhood, Hanuman ji’s name used to be Sundar, but then why is he known as Hanuman ji and what is its relation with Surya? Let us know this interesting story.

According to the legend, Mother Anjani and Kesari ji had named Hanuman ji Sundar. Because Hanuman ji was a very beautiful result of the penance done by Mata Anjani and Kesari ji for Lord Shiva. This is the reason why the incident describing the character of Hanuman ji in Ramcharitmanas is called Sundar Kand. The name Hanuman given to Bajrangbali is considered a sign of injury.

filled the sun in the mouth

In childhood, Hanuman ji was very mischievous and powerful. One day Hanuman ji saw the sun shining red in the sky. Hanuman ji thought that he was a fruit. Then, in his eagerness to eat that fruit, child Hanuman flew into the sky. Then in no time he reached Surya and took it in his mouth. Due to this there was darkness in the whole world.

This is how Hanuman ji is called beautiful

To save the world from this crisis, Devraj Indra attacked Hanuman ji’s jaw bone. Due to the strike of the thunderbolt, Hanuman ji fell unconscious and fell on the earth. In Sanskrit the jaw bone is called Hanu. The jaw became swollen due to the pressure. Then the name of the beautiful child became Hanuman. Seeing Hanuman ji unconscious, father Pawan Dev became angry and then the wind stopped in the whole world.

After this, to make the situation normal, the gods made Hanuman ji invincible with every weapon, due to which his power increased manifold.
