Pawan, by whose blessings, Hanuman ji took birth enraged furiously. Seeing this Lord Indra, struck Hanuman by his vajra, Been hart, Hanuman fell down to the earth unconscious. This caused darkness, in all the three worlds. And flying in the sky, reached near the sun and put it in his mouth. He at once lept towards the sky to have the hanging red fruit there. One day in his childhood, when Hanumanji saw the sun rising on the eastern horizon he thought it to be a red fruit. That is why, every year when Chaitra month’s full moon day arrives, his birth-day is ceremonised, which is called shri Hanuman Jayanti and Tuesday is considered very auspicious day to worship Hanumanji. He was born on the full moon day (Purnima) of the month Chaitra on Tuesday. Hence the son of Anjana is also called Pawan-Putra and Vayu-Putra. The God of winds, Pawan Dev also blessed Anjana to have a great son unparalleled in strength and wisdom. Lord Shiva fulfilled her desire and He himself took birth in the form of her son Shri Hanuman.

He had no child, hence his wife Anjana, observed self-mortification to have a child, she menaced herself, worshipping Lord Shiva to be booned for a son. Kesari was a Vanar-king, as such he is called Vanar-Raj. Vanar-Raj kesari was the father of Shri Hanumanji, and his mother’s name was Anjana alias Anjani. God Sheshnag and Lord Shiva incarnated as Lakshman and Hanuman respectively.
