Hanuman DVD

This animated movie depicts Hanuman's life from birth. The narrator is actor Mukesh Khanna. The movie relays how Hanuman was born to Anjani (a female apsara) and Kesari with the blessings of Vayu, the Wind God. Hanuman, who is the 11th Rudra incarnation of Shiva, was blessed with supreme intelligence, strength, and divine powers. As a baby, Hanuman was quite naughty and used his powers to pester the saints living in the nearby forest. Once when he was hungry, he leapt to catch the sun thinking it was a fruit.

On the insistence of Vayu, Indra and the other gods came together to bless Hanuman with immortal life. Hanuman's blessings include: no fear or harm from the Brahmastra; no harm could befall him from weapons, fire, or water. He could overcome death, and he could transform his body to take the smallest form or attain the biggest form of life. Blessed with divine powers, Hanuman grew up to be powerful. He helped Rama and Lakshmana in their search for Sita. Hanuman burned the golden city of Lanka and with his superpowers, helped Rama and Lakshmana defeat Ravana and secure the release of Sita. Seeing his devotion and love towards him, Rama blessed Hanuman with the boon of immortality.
