Hanuman, born as the son of one of the elements Vayu(wind) introduced by Sage Valmiki in Ramayana. Hanuman is portrayed as a supporter of Dharma, the vehicle carrying the very Lord Rama and Lakshmana on his shoulders. Though he performed great feats, he never thought that the achievements were his own: He is character of complete self-effacement, a total surrender to the cause of His actions.

Indian people yielded their hearts so thoroughly to Him. He was great in every sense of the word. He performed great deeds of valour, of physical strength, which no other living creature of the time could have performed. Deeds which required the greatest strenght, the greatest will power, fell to His lot and He performed them with admirable thoroughness of executution.
