NEW DELHI, INDIA (GaeaTimes.com)-Lord Hanuman, the greatest devotee of Sri Rama is worshiped all over India as the all powerful devotee, who had accompanied and helped Sri Rama in his battle against Ravana. In the month of Chaitra according to the Hindu calendar, Hanuman Jayanti or the birthday of Sri Hanuman is celebrated with ardent devotion by religious people all over India. This year too is no different as people are celebrating Hanuman Jayanti on March 30. This has increased the demand and search for Hanuman Chalisa, Hanuman mantra along with Hanuman wallpapers and sms.
Apart from following the prayer rituals and chanting the Hanuman mantra, people are also searching for Sri Hanuman wallpapers to decorate their prayer rooms. Some also celebrate Hanuman Jayanti by sending messages to friends and family members. There are special websites on internet that provide ready-made Hanuman Jayanti sms, which could be sent to friends along with a personal note. Websites are also flooded with Hanuman Wallpapers to mark the occasion.
However, the occasion is not restricted to sending Hanuman Jayanti sms, or downloading wallpapers or indulging in prayers of the lord. The festival has a deeper significance. Hanuman was a desire-less devotee, a karma yogi, who found pleasure in serving and wanted nothing in return. He is according to many, the embodiment of “Ram Nam”- courageous, honest and wise man. Hanuman never thought about himself. He is the embodiment of divine virtues that man should try to cultivate within and thus the occasion becomes all the more important. On the occasion of Hanuman Jayanti, people visit temples and put on their forehead tilak with the vermilion smeared on the Hanuman idol.
