In Ramayana, the great epic poem of India, Hanuman is depicted as chief of an army with enormous strength and strategy, as an extreme loyalist to his master, and as highly devoted to the Supreme. He is also shown as a very able diplomatic ambassador of a king and could conquer all difficult situations with extreme urgent swiftness. In the perception of the great sage Valmiki who created Ramayana, Hanuman is given the shape of a leader of monkeys to indicate the manipulative strength of Spiritualistic tendencies of human Mind to achieve the many material objectives. Hanuman is considered as the heart and soul of Ramayana. He is said to be the son of Anjani with the blessings of Vayu the god of Wind power. Hence he is also known as Vayu putra, Anjani suta. He is also supposed to be having the powers of Rudra and so he is also known as Shankar Suvan. Because of his selfless service, Bhagwan Rama himself remained permanently indebted to him throughout his life. Temples of Hanuman are found all over India even in remote villages and small towns.
