Hanuman was considered a Brahmachari who is a person on the path of Brahma. Hanuman has monkey traits. Kesari who was a Vanara and a chief was Hanuman’s father and Anjana, an apsaras was Hanuman’s mother. Hanuman’s spiritual father was Vayu. When Anjana was pregnant with Hanuman she received a bit of some sacred pudding from Vayu that was meant for King Dasharasha who wanted a male child.
