Video - The Incredible Powers of Lord Hanuman
Lord Hanuman, a powerful deity in Hindu mythology, was indeed known for his extraordinary abilities from a young age. He could jump across oceans and mountains, and his strength was so immense that he could lift entire temples. However, his immense power also made him mischievous, and he would often play pranks on the other gods and goddesses. One famous story even describes him trying to eat the Sun, mistaking it for a ripe fruit. The other gods and goddesses, growing weary of Hanuman's antics, approached Lord Brahma for a solution. In response, Lord Brahma cast a spell on Hanuman, causing him to forget his powers. This was done to prevent him from causing unintended harm with his immense strength and to encourage him to develop humility and restraint. As a result, Hanuman became just an ordinary monkey and had to learn to live without his powers. However, he never lost hope. According to the Ramayana and other texts, Hanuman's powers were eventually restored to him when they were needed most. During the epic battle between Rama and Ravana, Hanuman's memory of his powers was revived by Jambavan, a wise bear who reminded him of his true nature and strength. This awakening allowed Hanuman to play a crucial role in the battle, demonstrating not only his physical prowess but also his deep devotion and loyalty.
