Religious Significance of Hanuman Jayanti Celebration
Lord Hanuman was basically sent on earth to help Lord Rama (One of the Avatars of Lord Vishnu), the divine son of King Dashratha, Ayodhya. The war has to be done between Lord Rama and the demon king of Lanka- Ravana. Hence, the Lord Brahma ordered some gods and goddesses to take avatar on earth as ‘Monkey’ or ‘Vanara’. Hence, the Anjani Mata and the Pawana, the God of Wind, gave birth to Hanuman. The others who were to accompany Hanuman as a formation of Vanara Sena were Sugriv, Angad, Bali and others. Finally, Lord Hanuman met Rama when he was searching for his wife Sita who was abducted by Ravana.
Lord Hanuman is the only all in one mysterious, powerful, humble, and supernatural character who is epic in both – Ramayana & Mahabharata.
