The Story of Hanumatkeswara
How did touching a sacred Shivalinga restore young Hanuman's consciousness and vitality?
Discover the sacred story of Sri Hanumatkeswara, the 79th of the 84 Mahakalavana Shivalingas of Ujjain, explained in Telugu by Siddhaguru Sri Ramanananda Maharshi.
After Sri Rama returned to Ayodhya, Sage Agastya and other sages praised Hanuman's courage, strength, wisdom and service. When Rama asked about the source of his greatness, they recounted an episode from Hanuman's childhood.
Young Hanuman rushed towards the rising Sun. Struck by Indra's Vajrayudha, he fell upon a mountain, injured his jaw and lay unconscious. Vayu Deva carried his son to Mahakalavana and worshipped a sacred Shivalinga.
According to the account, Hanuman regained consciousness and vitality upon touching the Linga. Overjoyed, Vayu declared that it would become renowned as Hanumatkeswara.
Indra and the other deities arrived and blessed Hanuman. Lord Shiva granted protection from weapons and freedom from ageing and death. Siddhaguru connects these blessings with Hanuman's immense strength and his status as a Chiranjeevi.
