Hanuman Jayanti (hanuman jayanti) has special significance for Hanuman devotees. According to the scriptures, Hanuman Ji is considered as a devotee. Hanuman is considered a symbol of strength, intelligence, learning, bravery, and fearlessness.
When any problem arises in front of it, Pawansut is remembered first. They are also called by many names like Chiranjeevi, Bajrangbali, Pawanasut, Mahavir, Balibima, Anjaneesut, Sankatmochan, and Anjaneya, etc. Hanuman Ji spent his entire life in Ram bhakti and Shriram gave him the blessing of being immortal. Bajrangbali, immersed in Ramabhakti, remained a Brahmachari for all his life.
According to the legend, once the great sage Angira reached the heaven of Lord Indra. There Indra arranged for a dance performance by Apsara named Punjikasthala, but the sage was not interested in Apsara’s dance so he went into intense meditation. In the end, when asked about his nymph’s dance, he honestly said that he was not interested in watching the dance.
Hearing this, Punjikasthala became enraged at the sage. In return, the sage Angira cursed the dancer, saying that she would be born on earth as a monkey. Punjikasthala apologized to the sage but the sage did not withdraw his curse. The dancer went to another sage and the sage blessed Apsara that an incarnation of Lord Vishnu would appear in the Satyuga. In this way, Punjikasthala was born as Anjana, daughter of Vanar Raj Kunjar in Satyuga and was married to Kapiraj Kesari.
The birth anniversary of Hanuman Ji, considered the 11th incarnation of Lord Shiva, is celebrated with great pomp as Hanuman Jayanti. This festival is a major festival of Hindus and it is celebrated on the full moon of Chaitra month. Hanuman Ji’s mother’s name is Anjana and her father’s name is Kesari. There is an interesting story about the birth of Bajrangbali.
According to the calculations of astrologers, Bajrangbali was born 58 thousand 112 years ago on Chaitra Purnima on Tuesday, at 6 am in the yoga of Chitra Nakshatra and Aries Lagna. It is said to have occurred in a cave in a small hill village called Anjan in Gumla district of Jharkhand state, India. When Mahavira was born, his body was like a thunderbolt.

According to the mythological story associated with the birth of Hanuman Ji, in the Satyuga, King Dasaratha performed a son Kameshishti Yajna under the guidance of Guru Vashistha to get children. Which was performed by the sage Ringi. As soon as the Yagya was completed, Agnidev himself appeared with the character of Kheer from the Yagya Kund and distributed it to the three queens.
At the same time, an eagle snatched the pudding from Queen Kaikeyi’s hands and flew into the mouth. When the eagle flew, the goddess passed through Anjani’s ashram, and at that time Anjani was looking up. The partial portion of Kheer fell on Anjani’s face and she swallowed Kheer spontaneously. Because of which she became pregnant and she gave birth to Bajrangbali on full moon day of Chaitra month. Azar Amar Bajrangbali was an ardent devotee of Lord Shri Ram and always remained a Brahmachari.
