Hanuman

Hanuman is the monkey deity renowned for his courage, power and faithful, selfless service

Some say Hanuman was born as the son of the King and Queen of the Monkeys. To others, he is the son of Anjana, an female Apsara who had been transformed into a monkey by a curse, and Vayu, the wind god.

Hanuman never sleeps and is the deity of Shanti, the peaceful mood.

Hanuman's greatest feat during the battle of Lanka was to bring back the herb that cured Lakshman from a fatal wound. He flew al the way to the Himalayas to find it, harassed by many demons, such as Kalanemi. Because Indra was confusing him, Hanuman could not find the herb and finally brought the entire mountain to Lanka.
