On the insistence of Vayu, Indra and the other Gods came together to bless Hanuman with immortal life. Hanuman's blessings include:

• no fear of or harm from the Brahmastra,
• no harm could befall him from weapons, fire or water.
• He could overcome death and
• he could transform his body to take the smallest form or attain the biggest form of life.

Blessed with divine powers Hanuman grew up to be powerful. He helped Lord Ram and Laxman in their search for Sita. Hanuman burned the golden city Lanka and with his super powers helped Lord Ram and Laxman defeat Ravana and secure the release of Sita.
