Hanuman Jayanti

History

Lord Hanuman was born on the chaitra Shukla Purnima (Full moon day on the Hindu Calendar Month of Chaitra). Hanuman Jayanti is an important festival for Hindus. Hanuman is the symbol of strength and energy. Hanuman is said to be able to attain any form at will, with his power he can shift rocks, move mountains, dart through the air, seize the clouds and travel to any place with a speed even more than Garuda. He is worshipped in folk tradition as a deity with magical powers and the ability to conquer evil spirits.
Lord Hanuman is one of the most worshiped gods in India. He is believed to be an incarnation of Lord Shiva. Lord Hanuman is known for his devotion to Lord Sri Ram. He was born to Vayudeva (Wind-God) Kesari and Anjani. He is an ideal karma yogi for his fearless, selfless service, humility, and devotion to Lord Ram. It is said that Lord Hanuman is the only deity that cannot be troubled by negative energies.
People across the country celebrate Hanuman Jayanti by observing fast, reading the Hanuman Chalisa, and spending the day singing bhajans and hymns devoted to Lord Hanuman.

Significance:

According to the legend, once Lord Hanuman saw Goddess Sita applying sindoor on her forehead. On seeing this, Lord Hanuman enquired Mata Seeta about the reason for applying Sindoor. Goddess Sita then replied that this would ensure a long life for her husband. Hanuman then smeared his entire body with sindoor, in an effort to ensure Rama’s immortality. So, on this day, devotees visit temples and apply tilak of sindoor to their foreheads from the Hanuman’s body as this is considered to be good luck.
