I bow with respect to Bhagwan Hanuman, who is full of virtues, strength, and devotion.

Hanuman Ji is one of the most loved gods. He is known for his courage, strength, and devotion to Bhagwan Ram. He is often called the Monkey God because he has the face of a monkey, the heart of a hero, and the body of a human. Hanumanji teaches us to be brave, kind, and helpful.

The story of Hanuman Ji’s Birth

A long time ago, there was a monkey king named Kesari and his wife, Anjana. They prayed to God to bless them with a child. One day, the Wind God, Vayu, carried some divine food given by Bhagwan Shiva to Anjana. When she ate the food, she was blessed with a baby boy. This baby was Hanuman Ji!
