According to Vishnu Purana, the Rudras originated from Brahma’s Bhakti. Hanuman Ashtottara shatanamavali is the simple way to please the Hanumanji. The word ‘Hanuman’ signifies Brahma, Archana, and Ma Lakshmi. Hanuman was blessed by all the gods. He was also a servant and an ambassador, strategist, scholar, protector, speaker, singer, dancer, forceful and intelligent. Hanuman was also one of the three masters of classical music.

It is said that the first Ramkatha was written by Hanuman ji and that too on the rock. This Ramkatha was written even before Valmiki’s Ramayana and is famous as Hanuman kataha.
There are also different views about how Hanuman ji was born. There is a belief that once Maruti saw Ajni in the forest, he was fascinated by it. She coincided with Anjani and she became pregnant. Another belief is that Vayu entered Anjani’s body through the ear and she became pregnant. According to another legend, Maharaja Dasaratha took away a portion of the fruit he had distributed among his queens from the Putreshti Yajna and dropped it at the place where Anjani was doing penance for attaining a son. Anjani became pregnant after consuming Havi and later she gave birth to Hanuman ji. The Charita described in many other Rama Katha is so different from that of Hanuman-Charit as described by Tulsi and Valmiki that it seems to be completely false and imaginary. The Tantrikas worship Hanuman as a Shir, Panchshir, and Ekadashi Shir, Sankatmochan, Sarv Hitarat, and the giver of Riddhi-siddhi. According to Anand Ramayana, Hanuman ji is counted in eight immortals. The other seven are Ashwatthama, Bali, Vyasa, Vibhishana, Narada, Parashurama, and Markandeya. The troubles are solved with the mere remembrance of Shri Ram envoy Pawansut Hanuman.
