Here are 4 ways that devotees can adopt to mark this sacred day and seek the blessings of Lord Hanuman.
1. Observing Brahmacharya
Lord Hanuman advocated celibacy (brahmacharya) throughout his life. Hence, observing purity and self-restraint on Hanuman Jayanti by avoiding desires and maintaining brahmacharya for the day during worship is believed to invite special blessings.
2. Offerings
Devotees can opt to offer garlands of fragrant roses and sweets like Bundi or gram flour laddus to Hanumanji. It is believed that such offerings resonate deeply with Hanumanji’s preferences and attract his divine grace.
3. Chanting Ramdutaya Mantra
Reciting the potent mantra ‘Om Ramdutaya Namah’ while worshipping an idol or image of Lord Hanuman, preferably made of mercury, and using a Rudraksha rosary to chant it 108 times, is said to alleviate life’s troubles and invoke Hanumanji’s protective blessings.
4. Acts of Charity
Engaging in acts of charity is considered highly auspicious on Hanuman Jayanti. Donations made with a sincere heart, whether it’s feeding the needy, providing shelter to the homeless or contributing to charitable causes, can bring immense happiness and prosperity to the household.
