He has been referred to in Rg Veda as 'Vrisha Kapi', as friend of Indra. If u believe in the time periods of hinduism, He is slated to be the next Brahma ( Which is a post meant for the creation of the worlds). More historically, Hanuman belonged to the Nasik area of Maharashtra in India. I refer you to the following message in my group: " Vanaras were said to be a tribe closely connected to andhras, perhaps a sub-tribe. While Hanuman hails from Maharashtra, the same place from where the andhras have emerged, Vanaras have occupied today's borders of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, both are predominantly telugu speaking areas and where you had a highly flourishing kingdom of vijayanagara(today's anantpur and Hampi districts) Hanuman has written in paisaci, a vanished language today, supposedly the first commentary on Bhagavad gita." /message/65 Finally, the encyclopaedia by Dowson gives an interesting account of Hanuman, which I suggest you to look up for more details. regards kishore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
