Meerut, India (CHAKRA) – Hanuman Jayanti greetings to everyone as it is the date of birth of Lord Shri Hanuman and is celebrated on the full moon (Purnima) day in the Hindu month of Chaitra (March – April) as per the  traditional lunar Hindu calendar.  Lord Hanuman is also known as Bajrang Bali and Anjaneya and is one of the most popular gods in Hinduism. He is a Chiranjeevi meaning the one blessed with immortality.

In Maharashtra, Hanuman Jayanti is celebrated on the full moon day (p?rnima) of the Hindu lunar month of Chaitra.

On this day, in a Hanuman temple spiritual discourses are started at dawn. Hanuman was born at sunrise. At that time the spiritual discourse is stopped and the offering of food (Prasad) is distributed to everyone.

Spiritual discourses are organised in most of the Hindu temples on this day.
