Brahmins presented Hanuman after the counter-revolution. In 187 B.C., Brahmins done counter-revolution under the heading of brahmin king Pushyamitra shung against Buddhism and Mauryan empire. But still there was a big influence of buddha on peoples minds. Before starting any work, peoples usually were 1st praying to Lord Buddha. To decrease buddha's infuence, brahmins written imaginary texts like Ramayana, Mahabharata, Gita and various Puranas. Brahmins written Ramayana from 187 to 160 B.C. Peoples were considering Buddha as a Superhumane personality. In this text, brahmins presented Ram and Hanuman as superhumane persons to counter the Buddha. Actually, Buddha was called as Vayuputra or the son of the wind. " He ( Buddha) is known like the wind ( Vayusama), because he has no abode; he is one who is unattached." So buddha was called as Maroti or Vayuputra. Brahmins applied these terms to Hanuman and tols peoples that, Hanuman is nothing but your buddha only ! Aso, brahmins given name of the buddha to hanuman. Buddha was a son of Mahmaya, who was a daughter of king Anjana; so she was being called as Anjani..so, her son Siddharth Gautam was called as Anjanisuta or the son of Anjani. bRahmins applied his name anjanisuta to Hanuman as Anjanisuta. Finding so much similiraties, peoples easily accepted Hanuman as the form of the Budha only !! After some centuries, when peoples accepted Hanuman and forgot Buddha totally, brahmins done brahmanisation of Hanuman...."WHY HANUMAN IS MONKEY FACED??"..will be explained later on.
