Namaste everyone. My last blog was on HANUMAN JAYANTI. Over there you could read that LORD HANUMAN is also called VAYUPUTRA apart from ANJANIPUTRA. But our LORD HANUMAN was born to mother ANJANA and father KESARI rather our HINDU texts considers VAYU the Wind God as the spiritual father of LORD HANUMAN. One story from Eknath's BHAVARTHA RAMAYANA which was written in 16th century CE tells us that once mother ANJANA was praying VAYU the Wind God in the in order to achieve a child, on the other hand on the same time and same day King Dasrath of Ayodhya was also performing the ritual of PUTRAKAMESTHI YAGNA in order to achieve children for his three wives which lead to the birth of RAM, LAKSHMAN, BHARAT & SHATRUGHAN. As a result of the ritual King DASRATH received a sacred pudding (Payasam) which was shared among his wives. Fortunately a kite snatched some of the pudding and while flying the kite dropped it over the forest where mother ANJANA was praying to VAYU. Due to mother ANJANA's devotion VAYU helped the falling pudding to reach mother ANJANA's outstretched hands. After consuming the pudding mother ANJANA gave birth to ou LORD HANUMAN. For this reason VAYU the Wind God is considered as the spiritual father of LORD HANUMAN and we also call him "VAYUPUTRA".
