Hanuman Jayanti 2025: History, Significance, and Celebrations

According to the Uttara Kanda of the Valmiki Ramayana, Sri Hanuman first appeared at the beginning of the Treta Yuga of the sixth Manvantara of Vaivasvata Manu, around 2.59 million years ago.

Anjana, the wife of Vanaraja Kesari (the King of Monkeys), prayed to Lord Shiva to break the Muni Vishwamitra’s curse and begged him to be a part of the kid in her womb, which is why it is widely believed that Lord Hanuman was born to them as the 11th Rudra avatar of Lord Shiva.

An ardent devotee of Lord Ram and Sita, Lord Hanuman is considered a protector from negative energies, representing devotion, strength, humility, and selfless service.

Since Lord Hanuman was born in the early morning, devotees start their day early in the morning with a holy bath, followed by the rituals that must be performed before dawn. Devotees also pray to the Lord for protection, blessings, and signs such as the Hanuman Chalisa and Sundar Kaand.
