History behind Celebration of Hanuman Jayanti

Once, a great saint named Angira went to visit the heaven king, Indra and welcomed
there through the dance presented by a damsel named, Punjiksthala. However, saint
was not used of that type dance and started meditating on his God. After the end of
dance, he was asked by the Indra about the performance of dance. He was silent and
said that I was in deep meditation to my Almighty because I have no interest in such
dance. It was very ashamed to the Indra and damsel; she started disappointing the saint
and then cursed by the Angira that “Behold! You shall degrade to earth from Swarg.
You will be born as a female monkey in the mountain forests”.
She then felt sorry and regretted to the saint then a merciful saint supported her through
blessings like, “A great devotee of Paramatma will be born to you. He will forever serve
Paramatma”. She became the daughter of Kunjar (king of the monkeys on earth) and
got married to the Kapiraj Kesari of the Mount Sumeru. She gave birth to the Hanuman
with the help of five divine factors such as curse and blessings of the saint Angira, her
prayers, blessings of Lord Shiva, blessings of Vayu deva and Putreshti Yagna’s fruit. It
is considered that Lord Shiva had to rebirth as a human being on the earth in his 11th
Rudra avatar in the form of Hanuman as He could not serve to the Lord Rama by being
in His real form.
The whole Vanara community including all the human fraternity was happy and
