Hanuman Jayanti 2024: Four Ways To Honor The God Of Strength, According To An Expert
Tuesday, April 23, is quickly approaching: Hanuman Jayanti, an auspicious Hindu festival commemorating the birth of Lord Hanuman, the personification of strength and devotion. This auspicious day happens on the full moon day of the Shukla Paksha in the lunar month of Chaitra, according to Hindu custom.
In order to commemorate this auspicious day and invoke the blessings of Bajrangbali, devotees may follow these wise rituals shared by Bhopal-based astrologer and Vastu expert Pandit Hitendra Kumar Sharma:
1. Taking note of Brahmacharya
During his life, Lord Hanuman promoted brahmacharya, or celibacy. Therefore, it is said that on Hanuman Jayanti, keeping purity and self-control by abstaining from wants and upholding brahmacharya for the duration of the day’s devotion, would bring about particular rewards.
2. Provisions
Devotees might choose to present Hanumanji with garlands of fragrant roses and sweets like Bundi or gram flour laddus in place of the traditional Charanamrit, a concoction of milk, honey, and water used in devotion. Such gifts are said to strongly appeal to Hanumanji’s tastes and draw his heavenly favor.
3. Reciting the mantra Ramdutaya
It is said that chanting the powerful mantra “Om Ramdutaya Namah” 108 times while wearing a Rudraksha rosary and worshiping an idol or picture of Lord Hanuman—ideally one made of mercury—will ease life’s problems and call forth Hanumanji’s protective blessings.
4. Charitable Deeds
On Hanuman Jayanti, doing charitable deeds is seen as very auspicious, in addition to fasting and reciting mantras. Giving to charity organizations, feeding the hungry, housing the homeless, or supporting other causes with a pure heart may bring great joy and success to the family.
Devotees are urged to embrace these unique customs with sincerity and devotion as they get ready to celebrate Hanuman Jayanti. May the devoted performance of these rites bring benefits to each individual as well as cultivate compassion, unity, and goodwill among all devotees. Let us ask Bajrangbali for his heavenly grace and wisdom so that we may face life’s obstacles with bravery and humility.
