Question: Is HANUMAN the TRUE FOUNDER of BODYBUILDING???


Question Description:
Whenever ancient statues, idols and other Hanuman related remnants are excavated, the physique and body structure of the hanuman imagery is muscular and built to such an extent that he must have been advaned in bodybuilding. The ancients must have been aware of the effects of bodybuilding on the body structure to be able to build statues so accurate in so far as the physique. Moreover, when carbon dating is used to ascertain the age, the age is classed as being thousands of years old - a time when bodybuilding didn't even exist.Moreover, the ancient vedic civilisations was believed to be advanced in sports and fitness and the hindu texts encourage wrestlers and bodybuilders to worship Hanuman. In Greek Mythology there is a deity that is described in terms strikingly resembling Hanuman and the Greek deity was also renowned for his bodybuilding prowess. Is HANUMAN the TRUE FOUNDER of BODYBUILDING???

Answer#1: HANUMAN IS AN INCARNATION OF SHIV HIMSELF. HE DOESN'T CAME TO INVENT BODY BUILDING. HE HELPED RAMCHANDRA. MODERN PEOPLE CONSIDER HIM AS SO BUT HE DIDN'T CAME TO DO THAT. BELIEVE ME ITS NOT FALSE.


Answer#2: Hanuman is symbolic for Strong bodybuilding and a great Bhakta chanting Rama Namam and did many miracles in Tretha Yuga and is Chiranjeevi doing penance to achieve godhood and next Brahma. In order to make people follow such personality in their lives, Hanuman is reverred from times immemorial and even in all Great Civilization throughtout world from Tretha Yuga till date.


Answer#3: It seems, as you described.


Answer#4: i think garuda had a better body......even lord ram was spotted in a well toned body.. hanuman was more of a beefy hairy types..thts not the in thing....oh man bali we missed...now what is that yu are looking for .. i am sure the one posted this will have a monkey like body with a bend and al......................


Answer#5: This is all Hindu mythology and tales of Hindustan (India). The world existed beyond India also; people lived there also with every art, craft, skill, expertise and knowledge of body building and wrestling, etc. much prior to Ramayana and Hanuman. A frog confined in a well, innocently believes that well is the whole world.


Answer#6: NO OFFCOURSE NOT


Answer#7: the other vayu putra in dwaparayuga bheema was also had a great frame. In those days people would contemplate a lot before doing even one exercise or one muscle building, it has an impact on your nature. angath in threta yuga and the son of vali also had very strong legs. the air they breathed was fresh, the food they had was great and they had time to contemplate before reacting. plus the building of the body as in the hindu way would mean least side effects. about hanuman being the father of bodybuilding, i think he must have worked on his inner spirit before building the body in a predetemined fashion.


Answer#8: No, you are mistaken. It was King Kong who taught men how to body-build.


Answer#9: Hanuman is famous because of his devotion to lord rama. He used his strength in the service of his lord, and fought for the rights of his lord. He is not the strongest person of his time. Maybe vali, the king of kishkinda was stronger than hanuman.Hanuman was strong (but may not be the strongest), but he used his strength to serve his lord and king, Rama, his bhakti and devotion to the lord makes him great.


Answer#10: Oh yeah, man!!! But... isn't he being too hairy?By the way, I've been seeing very muscular Shri Ganesh statues in Thailand lately. You might want to be interested in them. They're SEXY, man! No joke!
