Story
1. When Lord Shiva spurted semen on seeing Vishnu in the form of the celestial enchantress Mohini (semen donation after getting excited), sages collected this semen (semen bank) and gave it to the wind-god Vayu (centrifugation to select the best of the sperms) who poured it into the ‘ear’ (mythical metaphor for the womb) of Anjani, who gave birth to Hanuman.
2.In another story a part of the sweet food given to Dashratha was snatched by an eagle pudding and dropped it where Anjana was meditating, and Pavana, the god of wind delivered the drop (centrifuged sperms) to her outstretched hands ( famale genitilia). After she took the divine dessert, she gave birth to Hanuman.

Gday! I came across this part of the story from an unrelated TV show, and couldn't help but wonder if the unidentifed? ambiguous? 'kite', trans-metaphorically, could have been, well, to put it crudely, a-transporting-without-swallowing, so to speak, of another attendant or minor goddess or demi-, and she and Anjana, were perhaps doing more, than idly sitting around in the forest, if you get my meaning. Perhaps there was a presumption (on the part of either Janana or the 'kite', or both? ) that such 'pudding', loses it's fertility-spark so to speak, after being collected in a bowl, or wherever else, as opposed to straight from the source, or, fresh-out-of-the-udder so to speak. One could only guess as to perceptions of delays in what we now call viability, as the Dr. would know, but i just wanted to observe that perhaps missing piece in the puzzle. Perhaps Janana and her 'kite' companion, were bi?
ReplyDeleteWhichever way, that's some magic jizz!
DeleteImpresses the hell out of me!
At least some flexibility for non-hetero relationships would seem appropriate, if such heroes as Hanuman were indirectly, born from such curiosity & presumption.
ReplyDeleteI note also, that elsewhere, there are other stories/myths, where someone is born after entering someone else's stomach, while-not of demonic or similar infestation-of-flesh.
Nothing that awful here! :) Idyllic twiddling around in the forest :) . Nothing needing any contrived moral 'outrage' / gaslighting/crusading against.
