The Fathering of Hanuman

(Ruesi Kodom part 2)
Nang Swaha and Phra Pay (Vayu) bring Hanuman into the World



When Phra Isworn (Shiva) learned of Nang Swaha being Cursed by Nang Kala Acana , he ordered Phra Pay (known as "Vayu" the god of the wind, in Hindu India),
to take his Cosmic weapons, and throw it into the mouth of Nang Swaha, in order to make her become pregnant with a monkey as a child. This was attained by using the kata (sword) as the backbone of the child, the Trident as his torso, arms and legs, and the Chakra disc was used for his head. Phra Isworn asked Phra Pay to take care of Nang Swaha as much as he could and to Adopt the child in her womb as his son too.

When Nang Swaha had been carrying the child in her womb for over 30 months, in the Year of Khala on the third month,on a Tuesday, she gave birth to her child. The birth was unusual in the sense that the child emerged by jumping out of his mother's mouth! He appeared in the form of a monkey, with white fur covering his entire body. He was fully grown with the body of a young boy of the age of 16. In order to emerge, he used supernatural powers to float in the air, transforming himself into a four faced, eight armed monkey, complete with ear rings, diamond fur, and crystal fangs.

He yawned, and the moon and stars came out of his mouth. He then flew down and rose his hands to his forehead in respect to his parents. Phra Pay then gave him his name, which we now know from the Hindu Brahmin pantheon to be "Hanuman".
Hanuman then left his Mother and Father to reside in solitary in the forest. One day, he was occupied in gathering fruits in the garden of Phra Uma (Kali), who was the Concubine of Phra Isworn (Shiva). Kali cursed Hanuman to have his powers and strength reduced by one half, but Hanuman begged forgiveness, and explained that he didn't know that the fruits belonged to her. Phra Uma thus removed the curse, by prophecying that when Hanuman would eventually meet Phra Ram, who would then stroke his back and tail, that his powers would then be returned to their fullness.

Later, Hanuman's Father Phra Pay took him to see Phra Isworn, who taught him a Kata to make himself disappear with, and also gave him a blessing that; Whenever Hanuman would be killde by his enemy, he would be instantly revived as soon as the wind blew on him. He then showed Hanuman and another monkey, called "Chompoopan", a host of secrets in the art of healing herbs and medicines (Phra Isworn created Chompoopan himself from his own sweat). The two vanora were then sent to stay with their Uncles; Praya Kakasa and Sukreep, in the City of KheedKhin
