About Birth and Childhood

Birth:-

According to Hindu legends, Hanuman was born to Anjana and father Kesari. Hanuman is also called the son of the deity Vayu (Wind god) because of legends associated with Vayu's role in Hanuman's birth. One story mentioned in Ekanth's Bhavartha Ramayana (16th century CE) states that when Anjana was worshiping Shiva, the King Dasharatha of Ayodhya was also performing the ritual of Putrakama yagna in order to have children. As a result, he received some sacred pudding (payasam) to be shared by his three wives, leading to the births of Rama, Lakshmana, Bharata, and Shatrugana. By divine ordinance, a Kite snatched a fragment of that pudding and dropped it while flying over the forest where Anjana was engaged in worship. Vayu, the Hindu deity of the wind, delivered the falling pudding to the outstretched hands of Anjana, who consumed it. Hanuman was born to her as a result.

Anjanadri is considered to be the birthplace of Lord Hanuman. It is located in Tirumala Hills, in Chittoor District, Andhra Pradesh. Kishkinda the kingdom of Kapis ( Kapis as mentioned in the epics written by North Indians are not monkeys, it may be a description based on the some features, which is otherwise not true) is located near Vijayanagara Ruins at Hampi, 70 km from Bellary, a city in Karnataka state of India.

Childhood:-

According to Valmiki's Ramayana, one morning in his, childhood, Hanuman was hungry and saw the rising red colored sun. Mistaking it for a ripe fruit, he leapt up to eat it. In one version of the Hindu legend, the king of gods Indra intervened and struck his thunderbolt. It hit Hanuman on his jaw, and he fell to the earth as dead with a broken jaw. His father, Vayu (air), states Ramayana in section 4.65, became upset and withdrew. The lack of air created immense suffering to all living beings. This led lord Shiva, to intervene and resuscitate Hanuman, which in turn prompted Vayu to return to the living beings. 

 As the mistake done by god Indra, he grants Hanuman a wish that his body would be as strong as Indra's Vajra, where as his Vajra can also not harm him. Along with Indra other gods have also granted him wishes such as:- 1.God Agni granted Hanuman a wish that fire won't harm him.

2.God Varuna granted a wish for Hanuman that water won't harm him.

3. God Vayu granted a wish for Hanuman that he will be as fast as wind and the wind won't harm him. 

4.Lord Brahma has also granted Hanuman a wish that he can move at any place where he cannot be stopped at anywhere. 

5.Lord Vishnu also grants Hanuman a weapon which is named as "Gada". Hence these wishes make Hanuman an immortal, who has unique powers and strength.

Hanuman having Gada as his Weapon

In another Hindu version of his childhood legend, which Lutgendorf states is likely older and also found in Jain texts such as the 8th-century Dhurtakhyana, Hanuman's Icarus -like leap for the sun proves to be fatal and he is burnt to ashes from the sun's heat. His ashes fall onto the earth and oceans. Gods then gather the ashes and his bones from land and, with the help of fishes, from the water and re-assemble him. They find everything except one fragment of his jawbone. His great-grandfather on his mother's side then asks Surya to restore the child to life. Surya returns him to life, but Hanuman is left with a disfigured jaw. Hanuman said to have spend his childhood in Kishkindha.

Some time after this event, Hanuman begins using his supernatural powers on innocent bystanders as simple pranks, until one day he pranks a meditating sage. In fury, the sage curses Hanuman to forget the vast majority of his powers.
