Real story of Hanuman's mother

Today is Hanuman's Jayanti.


 We worship Hanuman as god and also believe he is the true follower or bhakt of Sri Ram .


Hanuman's father is monkey king Kesari and mother is Anjana . As he is the son of Anjana , Hanuman got the name as Anjaneya


According to puranas , Anjana was earlier an Apsara called Punjikasthala . She resided at Indralok . She was immensely proud of her skill and beauty .


Once Rishi Durvasa visited Indra . He was engaged in very serious discussion with Indra . Punjikasthala giggled uncontrollably on seeing rishi Durvasa . Angered by her behaviour , Durvasa cursed her to be born as a monkey on earth .


Devastated by Durvasa's curse , Punjikasthala regretted her behaviour and prayed for forgiveness .


Moved by her prayers , Durvasa altered his curse and said that she would marry a monkey king after taking birth as female monkey on earth .


She would be the mother of a very powerful son who also would be the most dedicated devotee of Shri Ram . 



Like this way, Punjikasthala was born as Anjana and gave birth to Hanuman .
