Hanuman ji Vs Bheema

Hanuman ji and Bheema were both sons of the wind God, Pavan. So, when Hanuman ji sensed his younger brother becoming too proud of his physical prowess, he decided to teach him a lesson in humility. 

Once during the Pandava’s exile Hanumanji appeared on the path of Bheema, disguised as an old monkey. The old monkey was resting on a narrow path in the jungle, with his tail blocking the way. When Bheema was passing through, he asked the monkey to remove his tail from the path so that he can cross. The monkey told Bheema to do it himself.

Bheema tried his best but despite using all his strength, he could not move the tail even by an inch. It is then the monkey revealed himself as Hanumanji and taught Bheema a lesson in humility. Bheema learned his lesson and sought blessings from his elder brother.

Bajarangbali blessed Bheema and promised to grace the chariot of Arjuna with his divine presence in the form of a monkey banner.
