Hanumanji is one of the most beloved deities across the length and the breadth of the Indic land. He has travelled beyond the subcontinent with the Ramakatha and his vanara (monkey or simian) form with supernatural strength is loved and revered in equal measure.
Hanuman is a fearless and valiant warrior. He is also a spiritual master. He is the best of bhaktas or devotees and he in turn blesses all his devotees. His multiple forms are endearing for the pure-hearted and frightening for the evil-minded. He can cross every ocean to accomplish that which he sets out to achieve and it is these very qualities what makes him not only divine but a superhero who has endured through the ages.
Hanuman Janmostava (also referred to as Hanuman Jayanti by some people – हनुमान जन्मोत्सव | हनुमान जयन्ती) is celebrated on multiple days depending on the region. Chaitra Poornima (March-April) and Naraka Chaturdashi (the day before Deepawali or Diwali) are some of the days on which people celebrate his arrival. Team Cultural Samvaad has put curated a collection of famous Sanskrit shlokas and mantras and some verses from the Hanuman Chalisa (हनुमान चालीसा) that you can use as greetings.
