[quote=GUESTVOZZY,653203]Hanuman was the son of Vayu the god of the wind, and Anjana, a celestial nymph. Hanuman was born as a monkey due to a curse put on his mother. When he was a child Hanuman saw the sun and thought it was a large yellow ball. He decided to try and obtain it in order to play with it. Indra, the king of gods, saw Hanuman leap into the sky and wanted to stop him. He did this by throwing a weapon at him. [the Vajra (thunderbolt)] Hanuman’s enraged father decided to go on a strike until the one who hurt his child was punished. He went on strike, removing all wind breeze and eventually air from the world. the other gods understood that this would ruin the world as the people and animals were dying. they offered the baby a multitude of boons. Brahma said that no weapon would ever hurt Hanuman and that he would be able to change his form at will and travel wherever he chose. Indra’s boon was that the Vajra would no longer hurt the child and that his body would be stronger than the weapon. Varuna, the god of the ocean, offered him protection from water. Agni, the god of fire, blessed him with immunity to fire. Surya, the sun god, gave him the power to change the size of his body. Yama blessed him with good health and immortality. Vishwakarma, the divine architect, offered a boon that Hanuman would be safe from all objects of his creation. With all these boons, Hanuman became a great warrior who played a crucial role in the Ramayan.[/quote]
