The first Avatar of Sri Vayu is Hanuman son of Anjana Devi. His wonderful feats and
service to Rama Devaru are described in RAMAYANA.
The second Avatar is Sri Bhimasena, in Dwapara Yuga, Sri Vayu Deva appeared as Bhimasena
and played the most important part in the destruction of the enemies of God. In the whole
of Mahabharata, Bhimasena is the most important person who never slipped from the path of
righteousness and served Sri Krishna.

is the story of Avtara Traya.
