This article is helpful if you’d like to read the account of Hanuman ji’s birth. We will go into great detail regarding the mythology surrounding Bajrangbali’s birth.
The Legend Surrounding Bajrangbali’s Birth
Hanuman ji is said to be the eleventh Rudra incarnation of Lord Shiva, according to religious legend. In reference to his birth, it is stated that Lord Shiva incarnated as Hanuman ji to assist Vishnu ji when he first came to this world as Lord Shri Ram to establish religion. King Kesari, on the other hand, was performing penance alongside his spouse Anjana. Lord Shiva was happy to see this penance being performed, and he asked the two of them to pray for their preferred groom.
Pleased by Lord Shiva’s remarks, Mother Anjana advised him to give birth to a son who would possess the bravery of Rudra, the speed and agility of the wind, and the intelligence of Ganapati. Upon hearing Mother Anjana’s comments, Lord Shiva offered Pawan Dev, a portion of his furious might, in the Yagya Kund. Afterwards, Mother Anjana’s womb was invaded by this power. Hanuman ji was then born.

Because of his incredible strength and might, Hanuman is revered greatly and is believed to be capable of completing any mission, even ones that seem unattainable to others. Many names for Hanuman exist, such as Maruti Nandan, Veer Hanuman, Pawan Putra, Bajrangbali, Sundar (a name his mother gave him when he was little), and Sankat Mochan, the one who takes away all of his devotees’ problems.
