Delightful brass statue image of the baby Hanuman.Hanuman grew up and inherited his father's[the wind god-vayu] activities of quick flying, forceful travel, and mighty strength. Soon after his birth he saw the sun, thought it to be a ripe fruit and took flight to catch hold of the sun to eat.Indra, the king of gods and the administrator of universal laws, observed this. He hurled his weapon, the Vajra (thunderbolt), which struck Hanuman on his cheeks. Hanuman fell back down to earth and became unconscious. Vayu, the wind god, Hanuman's father, was upset by this and went into seclusion. As living beings began to get asphyxiated, to pacify Vayu Deva, Indra withdrew the effect of his thunderbolt, which had cut Hanuman's two cheeks. Thus he is called Hanuman, for Hanuman in Sanskrit is the word for cheek.In Hinduism Hanuman is known as the perfect devotee of God...
