Hanuman (2005)

Hanuman (2005) depicts the life from birth of Lord Hanuman, and relays how he was born to Anjani (a female Apsara) and Kesari, by the blessings of Vayu-Dev, the Wind God.

Hanuman, who is the 11th rudra incarnation of Shiva was blessed with supreme intelligence, strength and divine powers. As a baby, Hanuman was quite naughty and used his powers to pester the saints living in the nearby forest. Once when he was hungry, he leapt to catch the sun thinking it was a fruit.

On the insistence of Vayu, Indra and the other Gods came together to bless Hanuman with immortal life. Hanuman’s blessings include: no fear/harm from the Brahmastra and no harm could befall him from weapons, fire or water. He could overcome death and he could transform his body to take the smallest form or attain the biggest form of life.

Blessed with divine powers Hanuman grew up to be powerful. He helped Lord Ram and Laxman in their search for Sita. Hanuman burned the golden city Lanka and with his super powers helped Lord Ram and Laxman defeat Ravana and secure the release of Sita. Seeing his devotion and love towards Lord Ram, he blesses Hanuman with the boon of immortality.
