Hanuman Jayanti

Hanuman Jayanti is celebrated to commemorate the birth of Hanuman Ji, the monkey God. He is the symbol of strength and energy.

Lord Hanuman is worshipped for his unyielding devotion to Sri Rama and is remembered for his selfless dedication to the God. Hanuman is considered the living embodiment of the Karma Yogi (one whose meditation and devotion are demonstrated through hard work or service).

Hanuman said “I am a humble messenger of Sri Rama. I have come here to serve Rama, to do His work. By the command of Lord Rama, I have come here. I am fearless by the Grace of Lord Rama. I am not afraid of death. I welcome it if it comes while serving Lord Rama.”

In return for his unconditional love, Lord Rama promised Hanuman that he would be worshipped alongside Rama and that his idol would be placed next to his.

On this day, special Pujas are performed and the sacred text, Hanuman Chalisa, devotional hymn is recited. It is a 40-verse prayer composed by the poet Tulsidas, praising the qualities and deeds of the son of Anjana and Kesari, a prominent deity of Hinduism and a highly revered one who is known for his unwavering devotion to Lord Rama.

Devotees recite this song in order to ask for blessings, protection and strength from God Hanuman.
