Happy Hanuman Jayanti. On this day, Lord Hanuman ji’s birthday is celebrated.
Lord Hanuman ji is known for his intelligence, bravery and is one of the powerful deities in Hinduism. Lord Hanuman ji protects good against evil. Devotees sing Hanuman Chalisa. Hanuman ji is also referred as “Bajrang Bali”.
Hanuman ji is an ansh of Lord Shiv ji (one of the trinities in Hinduism) in the vanar form. He is also known as “pawan putra” which means son of the wind god (Vayu). On earth, Lord Hanuman ji is the son of Anjana and Kesari.
One of the aspects of Lord Hanuman ji that fascinates me is his devotion to Lord Shri Ram. In carrying out even the most difficult tasks in Ramayan, his devotion to Shri Ram makes everything possible. In all his endeavours he takes Lord Shri Ram’s name and says, “Jai Shri Ram!”.
Shri Hanuman ji plays a prominent role in Ramayan. For example, he sincerely carries out his role as Shri Ram ji’s messenger and delivers Lord Shri Ram’s message to Mata Sita in Ramayan. He also gets Sanjeevani booti called divya aushadhi (divine medicine) to revive Lord Shri Lakshman (Lord Shri Ram’s brother) when he was injured in Ramayan.
Shri Hanuman ji demonstrates intelligence, courage, commitment, protection and sincere devotion to Shri Ram. He is also known as the protector of saints and sages!
Jai Bajrang Bali!
