Category: Hanuman Jayanti: Birth and Worship of Lord

Hanuman Jayanti is a sacred Hindu festival that celebrates the birth of Lord Hanuman, the divine devotee of Lord Rama. In 2025, this auspicious day will be observed on Saturday, April 12, coinciding with the Purnima Tithi (full moon day) of the Chaitra month in the Hindu calendar.

The Story of Hanuman – The Devotee of Lord Rama

Hanuman was born to Anjana and Kesari and was blessed by the wind god, Vayu. This blessing gave him great strength, speed, and the ability to fly.

From a young age, Hanuman showed amazing powers. He once even tried to eat the sun, thinking it was a fruit! But more than his strength, he was known for his deep devotion to Lord Rama.

In the Ramayana, Hanuman helped Lord Rama find and rescue Sita. His courage, loyalty, and love for Rama made him one of the most respected and loved figures in Hindu mythology.

Why Hanuman Jayanti Is Celebrated

This day marks the birth of Anjaneya, also known as Maruti, Pavanputra, or Bajrangbali, who is revered for his immense power, unwavering devotion, and selfless service to Lord Rama. Lord Hanuman is believed to be an avatar of Lord Shiva and the son of Anjana and the wind god Vayu.

His life exemplifies devotion (bhakti), courage, and humility, making him one of the most worshipped deities in Hinduism.
