Who is He ? And how did he earn his name?



Answer

Hanuman. Born to Anjana devi and Kesari / vayu / shiva. For a baby with such lineage, only the sky could be the limit. And it proves to be, when he jumps up to pluck the sun out of the sky. Indra whacks him, and breaks his jaw and baby Hanuman lands with a thump. So yes, as it was mentioned, he earned his name Hanuman - Broken/prominent/perhaps, malunited/ Jaw in sanskrit.
