1) Birth of Hanuman
Long ago, there lived a monkey named Anjana near a beautiful hill. She was very beautiful and kind. Anjana was married to a powerful monkey named Kesari. One day, Anjana was worshipping Lord Shiva and praying to him to bless her with a special son. Lord Shiva was impressed by her devotion and granted a boon that Anjana would be blessed with a brave and powerful son.
At the same time, King Dasharatha was performing a yajna in Ayodhya so that he could be blessed with a son. As a result of the yajna, King Dasharatha got holy kheer. He gave parts of the kheer to his three queens, and some part flew into the sky. This holy kheer reached Anjana and she consumed it.
Anjana gave birth to a beautiful and strong son a few months later. That son was Hanuman. Hanuman was very strong and clever since childhood. His tail was long and strong, and he could jump very high.
One day, Hanuman saw a golden fruit and jumped towards the sun to eat it. Lord Indra struck him with his thunderbolt to stop him. Hanuman fell unconscious and was hurt in his chin (Hanu in Hindi). Hence he was named Hanuman.
Hanuman did a lot of mischief in his childhood, but he was always ready to help others. He became an ardent devotee of Lord Rama and performed many amazing feats with him.

Once upon a time, a little boy was born to Anjani Mata and a monkey king named Kesari. This boy was named Hanuman. Hanuman was very cute and mischievous.
When Hanuman was small, he used to play a lot and have fun with his friends. One day, Hanuman was very hungry. He saw the sun shining in the sky and thought that it was a big fruit. Hanuman thought of eating the sun and quickly jumped high into the sky.
While flying towards the sun, Hanuman Ji met Rahu on the way. Rahu was going to eclipse the sun. Hanuman thought Rahu was also a big fruit and tried to catch him. Rahu got scared and ran to Indra Dev.
Indra Dev seeing all this hit Hanuman with his Vajra. Hanuman fell unconscious due to the Vajra injury. Seeing this his mother Anjani became very sad and prayed to all the gods. All the gods came and gave Hanuman lots of powers and blessings. Brahma Ji blessed him to be invincible from any weapon, Vishnu Ji blessed him to never die, and Indra Dev blessed him with strength and courage from his Vajra.
Shiva Ji also blessed Hanuman with protection from his trident and Varun Dev blessed him to be strong even in water. Due to all these blessings Hanuman became very powerful.

3) When Lord Rama gave death sentence to Hanuman Ji
Very few people would know this story of Lord Rama and Hanuman Ji. Many people are not even able to believe this story. So let us tell you this story. Once many Brahmins and saints were gathered in the assembly of Lord Rama. From Narad ji to Guru Vashisht and Vishwamitra ji were also putting their views in it. It is said that Hanuman ji was also sitting quietly in a corner in this assembly. During this discussion, suddenly Narad ji put forward the point that the name of Lord Rama is bigger than him and he said that he will also prove it.
After the discussion was over, Narad ji told Hanuman ji to start honoring all the sages and saints but he also said that Vishwamitra should be left out. Narad ji gave the twist here that Vishwamitra is the king, so it is not necessary to do this with him. In such a situation, following Narad ji’s advice, Hanuman ji welcomed all the sages but when Vishwamitra’s turn came, he ignored him. Vishwamitra could not tolerate this insult and he immediately asked his disciple Ram to promise to give death penalty to Hanuman.
Now Ram ji got stuck in a dilemma. On one side was the devotee whom he loved very much and on the other side was the Guru. But how to avoid the Guru’s words. So he started going towards Hanuman ji to give him death penalty. Meanwhile, Narad ji told Hanuman ji not to be afraid and just keep chanting Ram’s name. Now what happened was that whatever weapons Lord Ram tried to kill him, all of them failed. After this, to ensure that the glory of the Guru does not fade, Lord Ram used Brahmastra as the last option. But what is this, this also failed. Accepting defeat, Ram ji had to go to Vishwamitra and tell the whole truth. Vishwamitra ji was happy and he freed Ram ji from the promise. In this way it was also proved that the name of Lord Ram is greater than him. And Hanuman Ji also got saved and immersed himself in the devotion of God.
