HISTORY BEHIND CELEBRATION OF HANUMAN JAYANTI

Once, a great saint named Angira went to visit the heaven king, Indra and welcomed there through the dance presented by a damsel named, Punjiksthala. However, saint was not used of that type dance and started meditating on his God. After the end of dance, he was asked by the Indra about the performance of dance. He was silent and said that I was in deep meditation to my Almighty because I have no interest in such dance. It was very ashamed to the Indra and damsel; she started disappointing the saint and then cursed by the Angira that “Behold! You shall degrade to earth from Swarg. You will be born as a female monkey in the mountain forests”.

She then felt sorry and regretted to the saint then a merciful saint supported her through blessings like, “A great devotee of Paramatma will be born to you. He will forever serve Paramatma”. She became the daughter of Kunjar (king of the monkeys on earth) and got married to the Kapiraj Kesari of the Mount Sumeru. She gave birth to the Hanuman with the help of five divine factors such as curse and blessings of the saint Angira, her prayers, blessings of Lord Shiva, blessings of Vayu deva and Putreshti Yagna’s fruit. It is considered that Lord Shiva had to rebirth as a human being on the earth in his 11th Rudra avatar in the form of Hanuman as He could not serve to the Lord Rama by being in His real form.

The whole Vanara community including all the human fraternity was happy and celebrated his birthday with great enthusiasm and joy by dancing, singing and lots of activities. From then, it was started celebrating as a Hanuman Jayanti by his devotees to get strength and wisdom like him.

Hanuman Mantra:

Manojavam Maruttulyavegm

Jitendrium Buddhimatam Varishtham

Vatatmajam Vanarayuthmukhyam

Shri Ramdutam Sharanam Prapdye.

Hanuman Aarti

Aarti Kije Hanuman Lala ki, Dustdalan Raghunath kala ki

Jake bal se giriwar kanpe, Rog dosh jake nikat na jhanke

Anjani putra maha bal dayee, Santan ke prabhu sada sahayi

De beera Raghunath pathaye, Lanka jaari seeya soodhi laye

Lanka so koti Samudra Si khaayi, Jat pawansut bar na layee

Lanka Jaari asur sanghare, Seeya Ramjee ke kaaj saware

Lakshman murchhit pare Sakare laye Sajeewan pran ubaare

Paithi patal tori jam kare, Ahiravana ki bhuja ukhare

Baaye bhuja asur dal mare, Dahine bhuja sant jan tare

Sur nar muni jan aarti utare, Jai jai jai Hanuman uchare

Kanchan thal Kapoor lou chhayi, Aarti karat Anjana mayi

Jo Hanuman ji ki Aarti gawe, Basi Bakuntha parampad pawe.

Doha:

Shri Guru charan saroj raj, nij man mukur sudhari

Varnau Raghubar vimal jasu, jo dayak phal chari

Buddhihin tanu janike, sumiro Pavankumar

Bal buddhi vidya dehu mohi, harahu kalesh vikar.

Jay Hanuman gyan gun sagar, jay Kapis tihun lok ujagar.

Ramdut atulit bal dhama, Anjani putra Pavansut nama.

Pavantanay sankat haran, Mangal murati rup

Ram Lakhan Sita sahit, hriday basahu sur bhup.

Hanuman Chalisa

Mahavir vikram Bajrangi, kumati nivar sumati ke sangi

Kanchan baran viraj suvesha, kanan kundal kunchit kesa

Hath vajra aur dhvaja biraje, kandhe munj janeu saje

Shankar suvan Kesrinandan, tej pratap maha jagvandan

Vidyavan guni ati chatur, Ram kaj karibe ko atur

Prabhu charitra sunibe ko rasiya, Ram Lakhan Sita man basiya

Sukshma rup dhari siyahi dikhava, vikat rup dhari Lanka jarava

Bhim rup dhari asur sanhare, Ramchandra ke kaj sanvare

Laye sanjivan Lakhan jiyaye, Shri Raghubir harashi ur laye

Raghupati kinhi bahut barai, tum mam priya Bharathi sam bhai

Sahas badan tumharo yash gave, asi kahi Shripati kanth lagave

Sanakadik Brahmadi Munisha, Narad Sarad sahit ahisha

Yam Kuber Digpal jahan te, Kavi kovid kahi sake kahan te

Tum upkar Sugrivahin kinha, Ram milai Rajpad dinha

Tumharo mantra Vibhishan mana, Lankeshvar bhaye sabh jag jana

Jug sahasra yojan par bhanu, lilyo tahi madhur phal janu

Prabhu mudrika meli mukh mahi, jaladhi langhi gaye achraj nahin

Durgam kaj jagat ke jete, sugam anugraha tumhare tete

Ram duare tum rakhvare, hot na agya binu paisare

Sab sukh lahai tumhari sarna, tum rakshak kahu ko darna

Aapan tej samharo apai, tino lok hank te kanpe

Bhut pisach nikat nahin ave, Mahabir jab nam sunave

Nase rog hare sab pira, japat nirantar Hanumat bira

Sankat te Hanuman chhudave, man kram bachan dhyan jo lave

Sab par Ram tapasvi raja, tinke kaj sakal tum saja

Aur manorath jo koi lave, soi amit jivan phal pave

Charo jug partap tumhara, hai parsidh jagat ujiyara

Sadhu sant ke tum rakhvare, asur nikandan Ram dulare

Asht siddhi navanidhi ke data, us var din janki mata

Ram rasayan tumhare pasa, sada raho Raghupati ke dasa

Tumhare bhajan Ram ko bhave, janam janam ke dukh bisarave

Antakal Raghuvar pur jai, jahan janma Hari bhakta kahai

Aur devta chit na dharai, Hanumat sei sarva sukh karai

Sankat kate mite sab pira, jo sumre Hanumat balbira

Jai Jai Jai Hanuman gusain, kripa karahu gurudev ke nai

Jo shat bar path kar soi, chhotahin bandi maha sukh hoi

Jo yah padhe Hanuman chalisa, hoi siddhi sakhi gaurisa

Tulsidas sada Hari chera, kije nath hriday mahan dera.

A story Together

A story Together

                                  I am sharing the story which really made me think.

In a breezy March day, the Magistrate of the Thorpe decided to take a stroll across the park. He ran into a small boy who was flying the biggest and most beautiful kite he had ever seen.

It soared high  and gently across the sky that the magistrate was sure it could be seen in the close town. This little Thorpe didn’t have very many things that were spectacular, so the Magistrate decided to award a “key to the city” to the one liable for such a beautiful thing.

The Magistrate asked,“Who is responsible for flying this kite?” 

“I am,” said the little boy holding with all his might to the beautiful big kite. He said, “I made this huge kite myself, with my own hands. I painted all of the colourful

pictures on it, and I fly it!”

“I am,” said the wind. “It is my breeze that keeps it in the air flying so big and beautiful. Unless I blow on it, it will not fly at all. I fly it!”

“Not so,” claimed the kite’s tail. “I make it sail and give it stability against the wind’s blowing gusts. Without me the kite would spin out of control and not even the boy could save it from crashing to the earth. I fly the kite!”

So, who flies the kite?

They all do, don’t they?

In the day-to-day haste and bustle of work it easy to forget that everyone flies the kite. Without the team, the leader would never be successful. Without a good leader, the team would never fail. Both need each other. And each person on the team needs one another as well. They all fly it!

Let's work together.
