What is the story behind Lord Hanuman's mother Anjana?

 There are many mythological stories about Lord Hanuman's mother Anjana:

  • According to one story, Anjana was naughty since childhood. Once when she went to play in the forest, a sage was doing penance there. Anjana plucked a fruit from the tree and threw it on the sage who was doing penance. This angered the sage and he told Anjana that if she behaves like a monkey, she will also get the form of a monkey.
  • According to another story, Anjana was an Apsara in the court of Devraj Indra in her previous life. Her name was Punjikasthali. Once sage Durvasa was present in Indra's court. Then Punjikasthali behaved indecently with him. Angered by this, sage Durvasa cursed Punjikasthali to become a monkey.

Hanuman Ji, the son of Anjani and monkey king Kesari, is also known by names like Anjanay and Kesari Nandan. According to a belief, Hanuman Ji is also called the son of wind.

Who is Parashurama's mother? Is he considered a son of Shiva? If so, why is he referred to as "Rama"?

 Lord Parashurama's mother was Renuka. Renuka was the daughter of King Prasenjit and wife of Maharishi Jamadagni.

Lord Parashurama was born on the day of Akshaya Tritiya in Treta Yuga.

Lord Parashuram is said to be the sixth incarnation of Lord Vishnu .

According to mythological beliefs, Parashurama was born from the womb of mother Renuka as a blessing from Lord Indra who was pleased with the Putrayeshti Yagna of Bhrigu dynasty's Maharishi Jamadagni.

According to Vishnu Purana and Mahabharata, Parashurama's original name was "Rama".

In the naming ceremony performed by the grandfather Bhrigu, he was called Ram.

Mention of Parashuram is also found in texts like Ramayana, Mahabharata, Bhagwat Puran, Kalki Puran etc.

Parashurama is also known as "Bhargava". He is one of the 7 immortals.

Parashuram had gone to Kailash in his childhood, where Shiva and Mother Parvati considered him as their son. And Lord Shiva taught him various scriptures and warfare.

Lord Shiva was the Guru of Parashuram. He had acquired many knowledge from Shiva on Kailash and had also received divinity as a boon. To kill the demons, he had received the divine weapon Vidyudbhi, an infallible Parshu from Lord Shiva. He was called Parashuram because he carried the Parshu given by Shiva.

He killed the Kshatriyas 21 times with the Parshu he had received from Shiva.

In Kailasha, when Ganesha prevented him from seeing Lord Shiva, one of Lord Ganesha's teeth got broken by his Parshu during his battle with Ganesha, due to which Ganesha was called "Ekadant".
