Hanuman By Indrayani Sawkar

Long live Hanuman! Long live Bajarang Bali! Long live Anjaneya!" The crowd cheered. "You are also Kesari's son," Kesari declared. "Ah, another name for me!" Hanuman exclaimed joy fully. "Yes, and it clearly indicates that I am your father." "So, I have more names. Marvellous! Keep them coming. I adore names. However, for now, just call me Hanuman. It's my favourite name because it commemorates my encounter with Indra Deva," he shared, proudly displaying his chiselled chin. This is why Hanuman stands out as a uniquedeity in the Hindu pantheon. He is simultaneously a god, a devout follower, and a dedicated servant of Rama. He is the only deity with temples and gyms dedicated to his name. And being immortal, he is certainly present among us. Indrani Sawakar offers us a story of Hanumana from a different perspective.
