His exploits are narrated in the great Sanskrit poem the Ramayana (“Rama's Journey”). While still a baby, Hanuman, the child of a nymph by Vayu the wind god, tried to fly up and grab the Sun, which he mistook for a fruit. He was born as a monkey, because the celestial nymph Anjana once angered a sage who cursed her to birth her first child as a monkey. Hanuman is the symbol of strength and energy. He is worshipped for his unyielding devotion to Rama and is remembered for his selfless dedication to the Deity.Hanuman is considered the living embodiment of the Karma Yogi (one whose meditation and devotion are demonstrated through hard work or service).
