Hanuman Birthday | What is Hanuman Jayanti? | Hanuman Jayanti Meaning

Jayanti is derived from the Sanskrit words Jaya and Anta which mean ‘victory’ and ‘end’ (in the end); the one who triumphs in the end. Jayanti is a feminine form of Jayanta. In the Mundaka Upanishad, a verse satyamev Jayate underlines the essence of Truth. Sat Evem Jayte. Truth (sat) alone (evem) triumphs (jayate). The one who stands victorious despite odds is worshipped on their day. Lord Hanuman who assisted his master Lord Ramachandra in a ghastly battle against the evil forces of Ravana emerged victorious because, he was with Sat (Lord Ramachandra). The Bhagvad Gita calls the Absolute Lord as om tat sat. He is the Truth and one who treads the path of the Righteous Transcendence emerges victorious. Therefore we worship Lord Hanuman on his jayanti.

Hanuman Story

Legends of Hanuman Born in a Vanar (Monkey) community, Lord Hanuman is the son of Kesari and Anjana. His birth name was Anjneya (Son of Anjana), but throughout his life he was addressed by names derived from his heroic acts. In his childhood, Lord Hanuman was very playful.

It is mentioned in the Vedic scriptures that once the child Hanuman saw the Sun and thought it was a ripe fruit. He began following the Sun with the intention of eating it. Lord Surya was scared of this little child, who insisted on having him. Finally Lord Indra intervened and attempted to convince him to let go of Surya. But Hanuman was adamant, and finally Indra decided to teach this child Hanuman a lesson and hit him on his cheeks and he fell on the ground. This infuriated Lord Varun, the God of Air and he decided to suck out all air from earth. This caused a great havoc on earth because people, trees and animals began dying due to lack of air. Finally, the other gods came to the rescue. Each of them blessed Hanuman with many powers and Lord Indra too gave him a boon of immortal life.

Hanuman Jayanti SignificanceDuring the war against the evil forces of Ravana, Lord Hanuman was one of the chief warriors in Lord Rama’s army. He visited Lanka and gave a ring to Sita to reassure Her that Lord Rama was coming to rescue Her. On the battlefield, when Lord Rama’s brother, Lakshmana was injured and fell unconscious, Hanuman lifted the whole Dronagiri Mountain and brought it home when he could not find the Sanjivani herb that grew there. It is believed that Lord Hanuman was also a part of the epic battle, Mahabharata. Although he did not participate in the war but he imprinted his presence on Arjuns flag on his chariot. It was due to Lord Hanuman’s and Krishna’s combined power and protection that Arjuna’s chariot could sustain numerous attacks in the war.

How to Worship Lord Hanuman?

Lord Hanuman birthday is celebrated on Full Moon day during Chaitra month (April). There are a number of ways to worship Hanuman. On this festival day, people visit Hanuman temples to worship him with religious offerings. The temple priests or pujaris distribute prasadam such as flowers, sweets, coconuts, udi (sacred ash), Ganga Jal (holy waters of River Ganga) to the devotees assembled for worship.
On his Jayanti, we worship the auspicious birth of Lord Hanuman. The essence of worshiping his divinity, his childhood pastimes, heroic acts and ultimate surrender unto the lotus feet of his master Ramachandra remains the same in all states. There are two ways to worship Lord Hanuman; traditional worship and meditating on the qualities of Hanuman.
Deity Worship (traditional)

  • Light up a mustard oil lamp and chant: Om shree Ramdut Hanumate Namah: Deepam Darshayami
  • Offer mustard oil, a coconut and a garland of betel leaves (21, 31 or 51).
  • Offer some sindoor to Lord Hanuman with the mantra: Om Shree Ramdut Hanumate Namah: Gandham Samarpayami.
  • Offer some flowers (hibiscus, jasmine or dhatura flowers) with the mantra: Om Shree Ramdut Hanumate Namah: Pushpam Samarpyami.
  • Offer dhoop and chant: Om shree Ramdut Hanumate Namah: Dhoopam Agrapayami
  • Circumambulate the idol reciting the Hanuman Chalisa. If this is not possible then circumambulate with a mantra Om Hanumante Namah. Then take a seat and recite the Chalisa from your prayer book.

The greatest quality of Hanuman is his surrender unto his master Lord Rama. Lord Hanuman epitomized both humility as well as punishment to the miscreants. Whenever challenged by enemies, Hanuman left no stone unturned while beating them else he always protected sages and the saintly-minded.
