Hanuman Chalisa Chaupai - 6
Sankara suvana kesarinandana ,
Teja pratapa maha jaga bandana .
You are the son of Lord Shiva and the delighter ( son ) of Kesari . You are worshipped by the whole world for your great lustre and valour .
Hanuman is the son of Lord Shiva and also of Kesari . He is the son of wind god also.
When Ravana 's atrocities were increasing , all the deities and sages prayed to Lord Vishnu . The Lord said that he would take birth as Rama , the son of king Dasharatha of Ayodhya to destroy the demons . At the behest of Brahma , all the gods assumed the form of monkeys to serve the Lord in achieving his mission. Vali was the son of Indra , Sugriva the son of The Sun god and so on. Vayu blessed Anjana and Kesari , the parents of Hanuman with his power and Hanuman was born. Therefore he is called the son of wind god .
Lord Shiva also wanted to serve Vishnu when he took the incarnation as Rama. He placed his glow ( tejas ) in Hanuman in order to serve Rama . Hanuman is known as the son of Shiva and also known as an incarnation of Shiva as it is said that the eleventh form of Rudra ( Shiva) took birth as Hanuman to seek vengeance against Ravana who worshipped with his ten heads the Lord Shiva 's ten heads only, ignoring the eleventh one.
Hanuman's earthly father's name was Kesari, which also means ' lion '. Hanuman is born of a lion like father who is fearless, brave and strong.Hanuman has imbibed these virtues from him. He is the purifier and life giver to his devotees like the wind god. Like Lord Shiva he destroys evil and blesses everyone. A worthy son of all the three . References to wind god as his sire and Lord Shankara as his ancestor or god father indicate his divine origin and distinguished heritage. In keeping with this Hanuman displayed his lustre and valour by extraordinary feats for the welfare of others. So his lustre and valour is honoured and praised by the entire world , everyone sings the glory of Hanuman.
