Story of
Hanuman
eating Sun
When Hanuman was
small, Hanuman felt
very hungry. Looking
up in the east he saw
something red.
Hanuman thought
that the red sun was
a fruit and flew up to
snatch it.
Though the sun's heat burnt his face,
Hanuman was determined and
continued to fly towards the sun.
Indra, the Lord of Heaven, feared that the
sun might be caught. So he hit Hanuman
with his terrible weapon Vajrayudha.
Hanuman fell down and was hurt. His
cheeks became swollen.
This is why he came
to be called
Hanuman. 'Hanu' in
Sanskrit means the
cheek.
