Hanuman Ji History In Khmer Hanuman:


Hanuman is a godlike figure in Cambodia history from the Angkor period. He features predominantly in the Reamker, a Cambodian epic poem, based on the Sanskrit's Ramayana epic.[47] The original Ramayana arrived to Southeast Asia from South India along with Hinduism, but its retelling there suggests Buddhist influence. Intricate carvings on the walls of Angkor Wat depict a scene from the Ramayana dating back nearly a millennium.[48]

















 Statues of the poem's heroes were worshiped in temple sanctuaries, akin to the wall paintings at Cambodia's Royal Palace and Wat Bo. The Thai Hanuman stems from the same origins, during a time when it was part of the Angkor Empire.

Hanuman Ji History In Relation With Shani:


In Hinduism, Hanuman is one of the few persons — human or divine — who cannot be adversely affected by Shani, the astrological personification of the planet Saturn. Legend has it that Shani, a planet believed to have a highly negative influence,[40] could not cast his malefic spell over Hanuman. As a result, people worship Hanuman to get rid of the adverse effects that Shani inflicts on people's lives.



















In the Ramayana, Hanuman is said to have rescued Shani from the clutches of Ravana. In gratitude, Shani promised that those who prayed to Hanuman would be rescued from Shani's painful effects.[41]
According to another version of the story,[42] Lord Shani once climbed onto Hanuman's shoulders, indicating that he (Hanuman) was about to come under the malefic influence of the planet Saturn. Hanuman immediately assumed such a large size that Shani was caught painfully between Hanuman's shoulders and the ceiling of the room they were in. As the pain was unbearable, Shani asked Hanuman to release him, promising that he would moderate the malefic effects of his influence on any person who prayed to Hanuman. At this point, Hanuman released Shani.
In the hymn "The Thousand Names of Hanuman" (Hanumansahasranam Stotra), Shani is one of the names of Hanuman; and in some regions of India, Hanuman is depicted sporting an iron whip like that of Shani.
