Hanuman ji is the most awakened god in Kalyug and even today, he protects his devotees in times of crisis.
There is a lot of excitement and enthusiasm currently, all over India, as the festival of lights aka Diwali is right around the corner. Diwali is celebrated in the country because it is believed that Lord Ram reached Ayodhya after conquering Lanka during this time. That’s when the people of Ayodhya welcomed him by lighting diyas and burning crackers. Lord Ram returned after 14 years of exile and brought back his wife, Goddess Sita, from Lanka. Now, it has been found that Hanuman Jayanti is also celebrated around Diwali. This year, the birth anniversary of the great devotee of Ram will be celebrated a day before Diwali, that is today, on November 11. Usually, Hanuman Jayanti is celebrated twice a year. Earlier this year, it was celebrated on April 6. This year, it will coincide with Narak Chaturdashi.
