Why Women Are Not Allowed To Worship Lord Hanuman?

Women are forbidden to offer prayers to Hanuman – Myth or Truth

Lord Hanuman is one of the most revered Gods in Hinduism. He is recognized as an epitome of devotion, faith, valour and selfless love. The word Hanuman is derived from two Sanskrit words ‘Hanu’ and ‘Man’.

While the word ‘Hanu’ means jaw, ‘Man’ means disfigured. Hanuman was called so because he had a disfigured jaw right from his childhood. Hanuman is one of the seven Chiranjeevi. Agni blessed him, saying, “Fire will never burn you,” which enabled him to burn Lanka into ashes.

Brahma blessed him with several boons. This included the ability to be immune to weapons, to change his form at will, and to be able to travel easily wherever he wished.
