Frequently Asked Questions
Q.Who is Vayu Dev in Hindu mythology and what is his significance?
Vayu (also Pavana or Maruta) is the Vedic god of wind and the life-breath (Prana). He is one of the eight Ashta Dikpalas (guardians of the eight directions), ruling the northwest direction. He is the father of Hanuman (hence Hanuman's epithet Pavanputra — son of Pavan/Vayu) and Bhima (in the Mahabharata). In Vedic cosmology, Vayu represents Prana — the animating life-force present in every breath taken by every living creature.
Q.Is there a specific puja or ritual for Vayu Dev?
Vayu Dev is primarily worshipped as part of Pancha Bhuta (five elements) pujas and Navgraha rituals. He is also venerated during Vata Savitri Puja by women. Yogis and pranayama practitioners traditionally invoke Vayu Dev before their practice. Some communities in Rajasthan and Gujarat perform Vayu Puja during storms or for relief from respiratory illness.
