4 Interesting facts about Lord Hanuman
1. Lord Hanuman also had five real brothers
It is mentioned in "Brahmana Purana". Purana contains a description of Lord Hanuman's father Kesari and his dynasty. It is also mentioned that Vanar Raj Kesari had 6 sons; the eldest son was Lord Hanuman. The names of the brothers of Lord Hanuman were Matiman, Shrutiman, Ketuman, Gatiman and Dhritiman respectively and they all had children.
2. Pawanaputra Hanuman was the incarnation of Lord Shiva
Apsara "Anjana", who once lived in heaven, was cursed by a sage that when she loves someone, her face will become like a monkey. So she pleaded with Lord Brahma for help. By the grace of Lord Brahma, she took birth on earth as a human. Anjana later fell in love with Kesari, the king of the apes, and they both got married. Anjana was an ardent devotee of Lord Shiva and performed hard penance to please him. She wants a son like God Shiva in qualities as well as strengths, so she asks for a boon. God Shiva accepted it.
3. Despite being a Brahmachari, Lord Hanuman was the father of a son
You will be surprised to know that despite being a Brahmachari, Lord Hanuman was the father of a son. The name of Lord Hanuman's son was "Makardhwaja". After burning the whole of Lanka with his tail, Hanuman dipped in the sea to cool off his body. It is said that his sweat was swallowed by the fish and thus Makardhwaja was conceived and born to a mighty fish of the same name.
4. Lord Hanuman and Bhima were both brothers
Lord Hanuman was born by the grace of Pawan Dev, but do you know that "Bhima" was also born by the grace of Pawan Dev? When Maharaja Pandu was living in the forest with his wife Kunti and Madri, then at the same time, Queen Kunti worshipped Pawan Dev with the desire to have a son, which resulted in the birth of "Bhima". Thus both Lord Hanuman and "Bhima" were brothers.
