Hanuman Dwadasa Nama Tweleve Names For Fear

Here are some more names of Hanuman.

1. Hanuman (Bhakta Hanuman)-Whoo has a cleft in the chin.

Anjani gave birth to Hanuman. After birth, thinking that the rising sun was a golden fruit He leapt into the sky for it.

That day being a solar eclipse (parvatithi) Rahu (the dragon’s head) had come to engulf the sun.

Thinking that Hanuman was another Rahu Lord Indra attacked Him with His thunderbolt.

It struck Hanuman’s chin (hanuvati) which got cut and developed a cleft.

Thus he acquired the name Hanuman.

Vedas mention Rama and Ramayana mentions Vedas.

Which is earlier?

I shall be posting on this interesting subject.

Now to many Ramayanas.

Valmiki is called the Adi Kavi and the Ramayana is the Adi Kavya-the first Literary work(of Mankind)

Yet there is a version of Ramayana considered older than Ramyana .

And it was suppressed so that one Valmiki Ramayana gets prominence.
