Hanuman – Hindu Deity of Devotion, Strength, and Selfless Service

CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE:

• Hanuman is a beloved Hindu deity known as the monkey god, revered for his unwavering devotion, courage, loyalty, and boundless strength. He is a central figure in the Ramayana, where he serves as the devoted ally of Lord Rama and symbolizes pure-hearted service.

• As an incarnation of Shiva and a child of the wind god Vayu, Hanuman embodies the union of breath, prana (life force), and spiritual discipline. His tales include feats of superhuman strength, shape-shifting, and leaping across oceans—yet his true power lies in humility, faith, and inner purity.

• Hanuman is honored as a protector from harm, destroyer of negativity, and guide for those on paths of devotion (bhakti yoga) and spiritual discipline.
