The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD) Board has announced that Lord Hanuman’s birthplace is Anjanadri Hill, one of the seven hills on which the world-famous Lord Sri Venkateswara Swamy temple is located.
The TTD has made the announcement on the eve of Sri Rama Navami festival and released “evidence” from many ancient scripts such as Paraasara Samhita, Brahmanda Purana and Skanda Purana to prove the same.
The TTD thought that it is suitable to make the announcement on the birthday of Lord Sri Ram, the God worshipped by Hanuman.
Dr Annadanam Chidambara Sastry from Prakasam district, who has done extensive research on the subject and with many references from various ancient devotional literature such as Valmiki Ramayana, came to the conclusion that Lord Hanuman’s birthplace is indeed Anjanadri hill.
“Anjana Devi, the mother of Hanuman, was the daughter of Goutama Maharishi-Ahalya couple. Later, Goutama Maharishi gave his daughter to a monkey leader. Then she got married to Kesari.
The couple went to Anjanadri hill and there Anjana did tapasya to get the blessings of Lord Siva for a kid. is evidence for this in Bhavishyottara Purana, Brahmanda Purana and Skanda Purana.
“In Valmiki Ramayana, there is a description that monkey king Sugreeva endorsed the Sita search operation duties to all mighty warriors of his kingdom and for this purpose, Sugreeva also deployed the mighty warriors battalion of Anjanadri. That means, the Anjanadri hill exists even during the Ramayana times.
