  • 0:00 - 0:01
    Saweedas Sawasdee kha!
  • 0:01 - 0:04
    View from Piew of Voint, Point of View
  • 0:04 - 0:08
    Last time we already talked about the origins of Phali and Sukhreep
  • 0:08 - 0:14
    Today we're going to talk about the origin of another important monkey in Ramakien
  • 0:14 - 0:17
    This guy, Hanuman!
  • 0:17 - 0:20
    Of course, our story is from the same book, that is
  • 0:21 - 0:26
    The Ramakien script, written by King Rama I
  • 0:26 - 0:30
    Now if you wanna know where is this cute plush come from,
  • 0:30 - 0:33
    Or why I was doing a lot of wordplay at the beginning,
  • 0:33 - 0:35
    watch the part near the end of this video.
  • 0:35 - 0:38
    There might be something special at the end.
  • 0:38 - 0:41
    If you're ready to learn about the birth of Hanuman, let's get started!
  • 0:45 - 0:49
    In the origin story of Hanuman, it all started with Ishvara.
  • 0:49 - 0:51
    Calm down, let's not tell him off yet.
  • 0:51 - 0:55
    This time Ishvara did not recklessly give out blessings.
  • 0:55 - 0:59
    But this time, he thought of Swaha,
  • 0:59 - 1:02
    who was cursed by her own mother to stand on one foot, her hands still and her mouth open
  • 1:02 - 1:03
    at the foot of the Chakravala mountain
  • 1:03 - 1:06
    From last time when we talked about the birth of Phali and Sukhreep,
  • 1:06 - 1:08
    Ishvara took pity on Swaha, thinking
  • 1:08 - 1:10
    "Well, she has long been cursed.
  • 1:10 - 1:14
    I should do something to end her curse.
  • 1:14 - 1:17
    More importantly, soon Vishnu will have to incarnate into an avatar to eliminate the Yakshas.
  • 1:17 - 1:22
    I should bring a piece of my might into the human realm,
  • 1:22 - 1:24
    and let it be Vishnu's soldier.
  • 1:24 - 1:29
    But Ishvara did not use the same way as Indra or Surya,
  • 1:29 - 1:33
    because if he employed the same way, his wife would be angry.
  • 1:33 - 1:36
    Ishvara summoned Vayu.
  • 1:36 - 1:39
    Vayu, the god of wind, came to Ishvara.
  • 1:39 - 1:41
    When he came, Ishvara said,
  • 1:41 - 1:44
    "Vayu, I feel pity for Swaha
  • 1:44 - 1:47
    as she has been cursed to stay at the foot of the Chakravala mountain.
  • 1:47 - 1:51
    I will give you a portion of my power and some of my weapons
  • 1:51 - 1:54
    for you to shove them into the mouth of Swaha.
  • 1:54 - 1:56
    After that, she will get pregnant.
  • 1:56 - 1:59
    Once pregnant, although it is because of my possessions,
  • 1:59 - 2:01
    you must be the father of the child.
  • 2:01 - 2:03
    Then the woman will be cured from the curse,
  • 2:03 - 2:07
    and she will give birth to Vishnu's soldier."
  • 2:07 - 2:11
    All the magical artifacts put into her mouth are
  • 2:11 - 2:12
    the diamond club,
  • 2:12 - 2:15
    which will become Hanuman's spine, like this here,
  • 2:15 - 2:19
    which enables him to fly.
  • 2:19 - 2:21
    Something like that.
  • 2:21 - 2:22
    Not only that.
  • 2:22 - 2:25
    Ishvara also provided him with the Surakanta Trishula
  • 2:25 - 2:30
    The Trishula will become his body and limbs.
  • 2:30 - 2:31
    It will become
  • 2:31 - 2:33
    the most important weapon of Hanuman,
  • 2:33 - 2:37
    because once it becomes his body, it is inside always.
  • 2:37 - 2:41
    Whenever he has no weapons, or is unarmed,
  • 2:41 - 2:46
    no weapons on hand whatsoever, he still can drag the Trishula out of his chest,
  • 2:46 - 2:49
    and use it as a weapon to fight enemies.
  • 2:49 - 2:53
    The last weapon Ishavara gave Vayu
  • 2:53 - 2:55
    was the Ratna Chakra.
  • 2:55 - 2:57
    The chakra will become Hanuman's head.
  • 2:57 - 3:00
    In other words, his whole body is made of weapons,
  • 3:00 - 3:05
    so it is not a surprise that he is so powerful,
  • 3:05 - 3:07
    more than any other monkeys, in fact.
  • 3:07 - 3:10
    Moreover, Ishvara also said,
  • 3:10 - 3:17
    "During Swaha's pregnancy, you must protect her."
  • 3:17 - 3:22
    Not only did Vayu have to be the father, he also had to prevent her from danger during that time.
  • 3:22 - 3:24
    After he received all the orders,
  • 3:24 - 3:30
    Vayu flew down to Earth and put all the artefacts in Swaha's mouth,
  • 3:30 - 3:33
    and stayed to protect her.
  • 3:33 - 3:36
    Time flies. Hanuman's birthday came.
  • 3:36 - 3:39
    Do you wanna know what day it is?
  • 3:39 - 3:43
    Hanuman's birthday is. Tuesday on the third month of the Year of the Tiger.
  • 3:43 - 3:48
    If you want to wish him a happy birthday, that's the date.
  • 3:48 - 3:51
    So the birthday came. Hanuman was born.
  • 3:51 - 3:54
    Since he was so powerful, he did not come out normally.
  • 3:54 - 3:58
    Not out the usual way,
  • 3:58 - 4:06
    but out of his mother's mouth, like, leaped and flew out of there.
  • 4:06 - 4:08
    He was extraordinary since birth.
  • 4:08 - 4:12
    He was a white monkey, as you can see here.
  • 4:12 - 4:14
    More importantly, Hanuman was not like
  • 4:14 - 4:17
    baby Hanuman, or anything like that.
  • 4:17 - 4:22
    He was born, and then transformed into a 16-year-old monkey.
  • 4:22 - 4:26
    He suddenly grew. No need to waste time raising him.
  • 4:26 - 4:29
    And it wasn't like,
  • 4:29 - 4:31
    "Hold me, mom!"
  • 4:31 - 4:37
    He flew into the sky and floated with an aura around him
  • 4:37 - 4:39
    for quite a while.
  • 4:39 - 4:43
    That scene is like a great opening scene,
  • 4:43 - 4:47
    because while he was there, he was radiant,
  • 4:47 - 4:49
    super radiant.
  • 4:49 - 4:52
    And that's not it. He also has earrings with him from birth.
  • 4:52 - 4:55
    And his fur that seems white,
  • 4:55 - 4:58
    is not the fluffy kind you usually see,
  • 4:58 - 4:59
    but it's all diamond.
  • 4:59 - 5:04
    We're going to say it's "fur that's diamond," and not the shorter "diamond fur" (*pubic hair in Thai).
  • 5:04 - 5:06
    The fur is made of diamond.
  • 5:06 - 5:10
    If we think about it, diamond is the strongest gemstone in the world.
  • 5:10 - 5:13
    Nothing can cut diamonds, except diamonds themselves.
  • 5:13 - 5:15
    So it is expected
  • 5:15 - 5:18
    that no weapons in the future would do him any harm.
  • 5:18 - 5:20
    Slashing him? *Crank* It's diamond!
  • 5:20 - 5:26
    A lot of people think that this is the real form of Hanuman, a normal monkey, right?
  • 5:26 - 5:29
    But when he was born, he showed his real form.
  • 5:29 - 5:33
    He is actually a quadricephalic, octomanous monkey.
  • 5:33 - 5:37
    That is, he has four heads and eight hands.
  • 5:37 - 5:39
    So he is another weird creature in the story.
  • 5:39 - 5:42
    More importantly, he has a special power
  • 5:42 - 5:44
    of summoning stars and moons as he yawns.
  • 5:44 - 5:48
    When he yawns, there are stars and moons moving out of his mouth.
  • 5:48 - 5:50
    He is an extraordinary monkey.
  • 5:50 - 5:54
    After showing his might for some time,
  • 5:54 - 5:57
    he flew back to his mother.
  • 5:57 - 6:03
    As he saw his mother, and Vayu, he took Swaha to be his mother,
  • 6:03 - 6:04
    and Vayu to be his father.
  • 6:04 - 6:08
    Vayu, as he saw Hanuman, gave him his name.
  • 6:08 - 6:13
    "Very well, little monkey. Ishvara has ordered me to name you Hanuman Chanyasmara,
  • 6:13 - 6:16
    so you will be called Hanuman from now on."
  • 6:16 - 6:21
    Vayu then took him as his son, and give him a part of his power,
  • 6:21 - 6:26
    and blessed him with the ability to defeat enemies
  • 6:26 - 6:28
    regardless of where they come from.
  • 6:28 - 6:32
    Swaha, who witnessed her son's power,
  • 6:32 - 6:34
    felt a sudden love for him,
  • 6:34 - 6:38
    brought him into her arms, fed him with milk, and said,
  • 6:38 - 6:41
    "I'm sorry. I cannot raise you,
  • 6:41 - 6:44
    but I want you to have Vayu take you in,
  • 6:44 - 6:46
    and consider him your father.
  • 6:46 - 6:51
    Also, nobody will notice that you have earrings and that your fur is diamond,
  • 6:51 - 6:52
    no one.
  • 6:52 - 6:58
    If someone notices these, that someone is an avatar of Vishnu.
  • 6:58 - 7:00
    Submit yourself before him and be his soldier."
  • 7:00 - 7:04
    Hanuman listened to this and agreed.
  • 7:04 - 7:04
    After this event,
  • 7:04 - 7:08
    everybody went their separate ways. We have no idea where Swaha went.
  • 7:08 - 7:10
    Vayu went back to Heaven.
  • 7:10 - 7:13
    As for Hanuman, he played in the forest.
  • 7:13 - 7:16
    Obviously, one day,
  • 7:16 - 7:18
    Hanuman discovered a garden.
  • 7:18 - 7:22
    Sounds familiar? Stumbled upon a beautiful garden. It must belong to someone.
  • 7:22 - 7:24
    And does Hanuman love the environment?
  • 7:24 - 7:27
    No! Hanuman was a monkey, a naughty one at that.
  • 7:27 - 7:30
    He was a naughty monkey with mighty power.
  • 7:30 - 7:33
    So he dashed into the garden,
  • 7:33 - 7:37
    gathered fruits, breaking twigs and all that.
  • 7:37 - 7:39
    Basically, he messed it up.
  • 7:39 - 7:43
    Someone who didn't care about the environment naturally gets punished.
  • 7:43 - 7:45
    That garden belongs to Parvati,
  • 7:45 - 7:47
    the wife of Ishvara.
  • 7:47 - 7:50
    She's really powerful, so Hanuman is in real trouble.
  • 7:50 - 7:53
    It's Hanuman's bad day,
  • 7:53 - 7:57
    because Parvati saw her garden destroyed by him.
  • 7:57 - 8:02
    As she saw it, she got furious. "You lowly monkey,
  • 8:02 - 8:04
    why did you do this out of the blue,
  • 8:04 - 8:07
    destroying my whole garden!
  • 8:07 - 8:09
    Do you know how long I've been taking care of it!?"
  • 8:09 - 8:12
    She was so angry and didn't know what else to do, so she cursed.
  • 8:12 - 8:17
    "Well, you're strong right? Let's see how strong you are when your powers are halved."
  • 8:17 - 8:18
    Upon hearing this,
  • 8:18 - 8:20
    Hanuman panicked. He was like,
  • 8:20 - 8:23
    "Aw, I suddenly got cursed."
  • 8:23 - 8:26
    So he hurried to apologize to Parvati. This is a good example,
  • 8:26 - 8:30
    unlike Ravana, who provoked even more and got severely punished.
  • 8:30 - 8:33
    Hanuman apologized, saying
  • 8:33 - 8:37
    "I'm so sorry. I've been a bad boy. I'm but a child.
  • 8:37 - 8:40
    I thought this was a forest.
  • 8:40 - 8:42
    Didn't think it belongs to anyone.
  • 8:42 - 8:46
    What should I do? I don't want my powers halved."
  • 8:46 - 8:49
    Parvati was a kind person, so as she listened, she was like,
  • 8:49 - 8:52
    "Okay, I won't be angry anymore, but I already cursed.
  • 8:52 - 8:54
    I can't take it back.
  • 8:54 - 8:56
    What should I do?
  • 8:56 - 8:57
    Okay, let's say,
  • 8:57 - 9:01
    as you're going to be Vishnu's soldier in the future,
  • 9:01 - 9:04
    if you see his avatar, and
  • 9:04 - 9:09
    once he stroked you from head to tail,
  • 9:09 - 9:12
    let all your powers be returned.
  • 9:12 - 9:14
    I'm gonna go now. Goodbye."
  • 9:14 - 9:17
    Like that, Hanuman had to play in the forest with his powers halved like that for a while.
  • 9:17 - 9:18
    Until one day,
  • 9:18 - 9:23
    Vayu in Heaven missed his son, thinkking
  • 9:23 - 9:24
    "I left him on Earth.
  • 9:24 - 9:27
    I have no idea how he's doing now.
  • 9:27 - 9:30
    He should have some lessons."
  • 9:30 - 9:35
    So he flew down and brought him to Vishnu.
  • 9:35 - 9:38
    "Remember, Ishvara? It's Swaha's son.
  • 9:38 - 9:42
    The one born of your stuff put into her mouth.
  • 9:42 - 9:44
    So you have to raise him!"
  • 9:44 - 9:46
    And so Ishvara took Hanuman him
  • 9:46 - 9:48
    and teach him lessons,
  • 9:48 - 9:52
    transformation, prayers and whatnot,
  • 9:52 - 9:54
    spellcasting, all that.
  • 9:54 - 9:57
    He got taught directly from Ishvara himself.
  • 9:57 - 10:00
    A while passed.
  • 10:00 - 10:02
    Hanuman graduated,
  • 10:02 - 10:04
    and Ishvara got tired of looking after him,
  • 10:04 - 10:07
    so he called Phali and Sukreep,
  • 10:07 - 10:09
    and introduce Hanuman to them.
  • 10:09 - 10:13
    "Hello Phali, Sukhreep. Remember your sister?
  • 10:13 - 10:16
    The one who told your father you're a mistress's son and got you cursed."
  • 10:16 - 10:20
    No, actually he didn't say that because that would cause conflict.
  • 10:20 - 10:22
    Let's just say he said,
  • 10:22 - 10:24
    "Remember Swaha, your sister?
  • 10:24 - 10:25
    This is her son.
  • 10:26 - 10:29
    I took her in and taught him things.
  • 10:29 - 10:31
    I saw that you don't have any children.
  • 10:31 - 10:34
    Take him in as your nephew, so you have someone to work for you in the city.
  • 10:34 - 10:37
    I'll also give you another monkey, Chomphuphan.
  • 10:37 - 10:40
    This one I created myself.
  • 10:40 - 10:42
    From what, you ask? From my scurf.
  • 10:42 - 10:46
    A little pathetic, but he's good at many things.
  • 10:46 - 10:47
    He taught him since he was young.
  • 10:47 - 10:49
    Let him be your stepson."
  • 10:49 - 10:52
    Phali and Sukhreep brought both monkeys
  • 10:52 - 10:55
    to their city from that point on.
  • 10:55 - 10:58
    And that's the end of the episode of Hunuman's origin.
  • 10:58 - 11:02
    He's probably the most important monkey in the story.
  • 11:02 - 11:03
    But wait, this video is not over yet.
  • 11:03 - 11:07
    A lot of you may still wonder, from the beginning,
  • 11:07 - 11:14
    Why did I switch my words' vowels? And why am I carrying this Hanuman plush?
  • 11:14 - 11:18
    This plush belongs to Holen--Hellow,
  • 11:18 - 11:21
    who gave me this plush. It's really cute.
  • 11:21 - 11:23
    Moreover, it's not any ordinary Hanuman plush.
  • 11:23 - 11:26
    This guy is already cute enough when hugged right?
  • 11:26 - 11:28
    But it can also transform!
  • 11:28 - 11:30
    See this at the back?
  • 11:30 - 11:33
    I turned it so many times. There's a zip here.
  • 11:33 - 11:35
    If we open it like this,
  • 11:35 - 11:39
    open its head and take its brain out.
  • 11:39 - 11:42
    Oops no. Not like in the news with the monkey brain at a Chinese dinner.
  • 11:42 - 11:44
    If you recognize the reference, you're pretty old by the way.
  • 11:44 - 11:48
    Anyway if we take the brain out like this,
  • 11:48 - 11:52
    We'll see the head of another Hanuman!
  • 11:52 - 11:54
    It's all wimpy so it's hard to see,
  • 11:54 - 11:56
    but if we ...
  • 11:56 - 11:58
    if we shake the beads down here.
  • 12:03 - 12:05
    It'll turn into
  • 12:05 - 12:07
    a very cool Hanuman neck pillow!
  • 12:08 - 12:12
    Which can also bite us like this.
  • 12:12 - 12:15
    Hanuman can cover our eyes, yay!
  • 12:15 - 12:15
    Cool, right?
  • 12:16 - 12:21
    If you want one, there's an activity for you to play to get this for free on the Point of View page.
  • 12:21 - 12:23
    Follow it on Facebook!
  • 12:23 - 12:27

  • 12:28 - 12:32
    No matter how many times I play I never get the prize. And there's only one of these!"
  • 12:32 - 12:34
    If you want to buy one for yourself,
  • 12:34 - 12:40
    you can buy it on the Holen website or Facebook page, as shown here.

    If you don't like plush toys,
  • 12:54 - 12:56
