Despite being a celibate (Brahmachari), Lord Hanuman had a son named Makardhwaja. According to stories, when Hanuman took a dip in the ocean after burning Lanka, a drop of his sweat fell into the water. This drop was swallowed by a mighty fish, which later gave birth to Makardhwaja.

Lord Hanuman wrote his own version of the Ramayana by carving it on rocks with his nails. His Ramayan was filled with deep devotion and divine details. When Sage Valmiki saw it, he was amazed but also felt that his own Ramayan was not good enough. Seeing Valmiki’s concern, Hanuman decided to remove his version. This act showed Hanuman’s humility and selflessness. Despite his unmatched devotion to Lord Ram, he never thought about praise and always respected great sages like Valmiki.
