The Legendary Story of Lord Hanuman

Description

This is ‘Part—1’ of the 2-part Book titled “The Legendary Story of Lord Hanuman—spanning the 3 Eras of Treta, Dwapar and Kali Yugas”. Part—2 is published simultaneously alongside Part—1.
The present Book, Part—1, describes the life and time of Lord Hanuman from the early days of his birth till he attained adulthood when he served Lord Ram until the end of Treta Yuga. He had served Lord Ram so faithfully and diligently that he had become the Lord’s most favourite, trusted, loyal and loved devotee. It has two chapters, viz. chapter nos. 2 and 3 that respectively narrate these two periods of Lord Hanuman’s life and time.
Part—2 seamlessly continues with this magnificent story and describes events that establish Lord Hanuman’s presence in Dwapar Yuga, the age of Lord Krishna, and Kali Yuga, our present age.
When read together, the two parts of this Book give the reader a very comprehensive, a very detailed, and a thorough narration of the legendary story of Lord Hanuman, besides highlighting his numerous glories, unique qualities and virtues, the many boons he had received from different sources, and many other interesting facts about his personality. The story is well-structured, explained with elaborate notes, and based entirely on direct quotations from ancient classical texts and religious books.
Besides Lord Hanuman’s life and times, the Book also deals with many fascinating aspects of his personality, such as his character, special qualities and virtues, the many boons that were granted to him, why he loves the red vermillion powder, and the question ‘was he actually a monkey as he has been said about him’. All this is described in Part—2.
The narration is authentic as it is based entirely on different classical books and religious scriptures where Lord Hanuman is mentioned. All that has been said about him in our Book is supported fully by quoting relevant texts directly from a wide variety of ancient classics, such as Valmiki’s Ramayan, Adhyatma Ramayan, Tulsidas’ Ram Charit Manas & Kavitawali Ramayan, Mahabharat, Srimad Bhagwat Mahapuran and Skanda Puran. Roman Transliteration of the original texts is included for easy reading, and it is followed by a verse-by-verse elaborate English rendering that explains all aspects in clear and simple terms.
Lord Hanuman is one of the most revered and universally honoured deities in the Hindu faith. Almost all followers of Hinduism offer worship and prayer to Lord Hanuman. The Lord is believed to be an incarnation of Lord Shiva, and he is invoked and worshipped as he provides all round welfare, care and protection to his devotees; he protects against evil eyes and helps his devotees to overcome difficulties and problems in life. Lord Hanuman is very easy to please, and even a small prayer to him would please the Lord.
