SIGNIFICANCE OF HANUMAN JAYANTI.

Hanuman Jayanti is celebrated every year by the people in India to com-memorate the birth of Hindu Lord, Hanuman. It is celebrated annually in the Hindu month chaitra (Chaitra Purnima) on 15th Day of the shukla paksha.

Lord Hanumanth, a dedicated disciple of the Hindu Lord Rama, is worshipped all over the India by the Hindu people for his deep devotion to the god Rama on the day of Hanuman Jayanti celebration, all the Hanuman temples become full of crowd as people start Pooja from early morning after a holy bath Hanuman Jayanti is celebrated with great enthusiasm by the people of Hindu religion as an important festival of the Hindus. It is a great Hindu ritual celebrated in cultural and traditional way.

People worship Lord Hanuman as a symbol of devotion magical powers, strength and energy. People read Hanuman chalisa as it has ability to conquer the evil spirits and provide peace to the mind. The devotees of Lord Hanuman visit Hanuman temples on this day after a holy bath in the early morning, apply red tilak to the foreheads of Hanuman idol, read hanuman chalisa offer Prasad perform aarti by chanting mantras and aarti songs, circumnavigate the temple and so many rituals. As Lord Hanuman was form to the vanara community hav-ing reddish orange coloured body, that is why the Hanuman idol is seen reddish orange colour in all the Hanuman temples. After pooja, people apply red sindhur to their own foreheads as a Prasad and distribute the sweet Prasad among the people to get blessed with what they have prayed to their god Hanuman.

In Maharashtra, it is commemorated to the purnima in the Hindu Lunar month of chaitra. However, according to other Hindu calendar, it falls on 14th day (chaturdashi) of Ashwin month in the dark fortnight.

In Tamil Nadu and Kerala, it is celebrated in Margazhi month (Between De-cember and January) in the belief Lord Hanuman was born on amavasya in the Margazi month. In Odisha, it is celebrated on 1st day in the month of Baisakha (in April). In Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh it is celebrated on 10th day of Vaishakha month in the Krishna Paksha. It is the 41 days long celebration in Andhra Pradesh which starts from the chaitra purnima and ends at 10th day of the Krishna Paksha of Vaishakha month.

Hanuman Jayanti celebration indicates the balanced coexistence of the whole human fraternity with the nature’s incredible creature, Lord Hanuman from vanara community. People from the Hindu religion worship Lord Hanu-man as divine creature. This celebration has lots of importance to all however Brahmacharis, wrestlers and body builders are specially inclined towards this celebration. There are many names through which Lord Hanuman is famous among his devotees like Bajrangabali, Pavanasuta, Pavankumar, Mahvir, Bali-bima, Marutsuta, Anjanisut, Sankat Mochan, Anjaneya, Maruti, Rudra and many more.

Hanuman avatar is considered as the 11th Rudra avatar of the lord Shiva with great devotion, strength, knowledge, divine power, bravery, intelligence, spirit for selfless service and etc. He has devoted his life only for his Lord Rama and Mata Sita and never shows his bravery and intelligence without any pur-pose. The devotees of the Lord Hanuman always pray him for getting blessed with same for their bright future. He is worshipped in many ways by his devo-tees; some meditate by repeating his names many times to get the power, fame, success and etc, in the life whereas some read hanuman chalisa to get the same.

There is a history behind the celebration of Hanuman Jayanti. Let us know it.Once, a great saint named Angira went to visit the heaven king Indra and

was welcomed there through the dance presented by a damsel named punjik-sthala. However saint was not used of that type dance and started meditating on his god. After the end of the dance, he was asked by the Indra about the performance of the dance. He was silent and said “I was in deep meditation to my Almighty because I have no interest in such dance”. Indra and Damsel were very ashamed she started disappointing the saint and then she was cursed by the Angira he said her ‘Behold! You shall degrade to earth from swarg. You will be born as female monkey in the mountain forests’.

She then felt sorry and regretted to the saint, the merciful saint supported her through his blessings he said “A great devotee of paramatma will be born to you. He will forever serve paramatma”. She was born as the daughter of Kunjar (King of the monkeys on earth) and got married to the kapiraj kesari of the mount sumeru and gave birth Hanuman with help of five divine factors such as curse and blessings of the saint Angira, her prayers, blessings of Lord Shiva blessings of vayudeva and Putreshti Yagna’s fruit. It is considered that Lord Shi-va had to rebirth as a human being on the earth in his 11th Rudra avatar in the form of Hanuman as he could not serve the Lord Rama by being in his real form.

The whole vanara community including all the human fraternity was happy and celebrated his birthday with great enthusiasm and joy by dancing and sing-ing and lots of activities. Form then it was started celebrating as Hanuman Jay-anti by his devotees to get strength and wisdom like him.

Many people are unknown of the history behind the Hanuman Jayanti cel-ebration; hence SSK TIMES help to make them know.

Jai Bajrangabali !!!

India has always maintained various races, religions and culture. Unity in diversity is its spirit. Indians believe that, truth is the only one which is seen in various forms.

In recent days the democracy system has given equality to all the citizens of the country. It has supported to redress the disruptions like caste or sect and language, but still it has not solved several problems, one of those is, uniform equal civil law enforcement. The language an ordinance minorities living in this country are opposing this, but this law enforcement is today’s necessary for the development of the country. The democracy system of the country has given equal opportunity to all the religionists; it has given the religious freedom which is rare in other countries. It is supportive for all to grow in their opportunities. Peace is the basic spell of the country; the Hindus that are Indians are in the highest percentage. The neighbouring countries have claimed as religious nations but in India it isn’t possible to happen. The man’s freedom to be in every religion is its feature. Neighbouring are realising many problems of being Islamic countries. There is no adequate freedom for others religionists. There is no free atmosphere in Pakistan and Bangladesh as in Malaysia and Indonesia. But the report that Bangladesh nation is hopeful. There is heavy disturbance in marriages and in the matter of population, as the law of uniform citizen is not exercised in the country growth of population stands as an obstacle for the development of the country. Hindus are facing the spectre of themselves being minorities in the country that has grand heritage for 5,000 years. Someday the percentage of Hindus will go down and the percentage of other religions will increase and India will also face many problems. If so then there is the terror that the feature of Indian citizenship will rupture which has the previous history for 5,000 years. Not only this the neighbouring countries, Pakistan and China are making frequent border disputes. Indians are fed up of the

infiltration of terrorists at the border, terrorists’ acts and by the attacks on states of military border. We have to remember the saying of chanakya that neighbouring countries are the natural enemies. The purpose of wreckage acts by militants is that, Indians should always live under the shadow of the spectre. The people who are called as scholars give statements on the traitors pro. It is not exaggerating if we say that India is the only one country who gave the opportunity to give speeches. Recently a great discussion was held about the intolerance. The people who claimed that, they have difficulty by the intolerance are still living in this country. India is mostly liked by its attitude of tolerance by such people, because when India got Independence in 1947 India’s population was approximately 33 crores, out of this minorities were approximately 45 to 50 lakhs only, at that time, the population of others including Hindus was appox 32 crores 50 Lakhs. Now in the 69th year of independence, India’s population is 125 crores, in this including the subclass and the Christians of Hindu religion, the population is 102 crores 50 Lakhs (82% of the country’s population) and same surveys say that the population of minorities is 22 crores 50 lakhs which creates fear. The population of minorities has grown up to 18% appox (22 crores 50 lakhs) in these 69 years which was only 1.5% (50 lakhs) of the total population of the country in the year 1947, it means they have 45 times of growth and the population of Hindu religion during the 69 years is from 32 crores 50 lakhs (98.5%) of Hindus and others) to 102 Crores i.e it has come to 82% now. During this period there is loss of 16.5% in the growth rate of population and only 3 times increase can be seen. Due to the previous mistakes of thousands of year back. The whole of India has lost Gaandhar country which gave rise to Afghanistan and by giving opportunity for the rise of East Pakistan and West Pakistan in 1947 India has lost its both arms. But even today it is chanting for

peace spell continues then the patriots’ feedback that the day of lucklessness shouldn’t come to see the unluckiness lost of other parts of Mother India. By observing at this all, is the lead and majority status of Hindus religionist going to remain? If the percentage of other races continues by hand gallop in the same and undergo to effect of terrorists organisation, them what guarantee is the government going to give for the defence of Hindu religionists who live here. Not only this if the percentage of Hindu religionists of the country goes on decreasing then who is responsible for the protection of forthcoming Hindu races. Is it going to be a gift for the further Hindu generation saying them to be always in conflicts of racism? Are some of the questions that are rising naturally in the minds of Hindu religionists. During this the immediate intervention of the Hon Judiciary is essential to bring the enforcement of the law of equal citizens. The Hindu religionists that too those who historically sacrificed for protection of the country and those having a history of ruling the country, the entire kshatriya races, the kings of olden days and the races, should teach their children about the country and complex atmosphere of today’s world and making them physically and mentally strong individuals is the necessity of today’s era. Let the unrivalled adventurers like Ashoka Chakravarthy, Maharanapratap and Shivaji Maharaj the kshatriyas born in each home. In that regard a wish that let the country have martial brilliance and later growth. Let the people who call themselves as scholars engage with the country’s protection, worrying day and night for the unity only then, there is a good future for the country. In the same way the minorities should say that they are also Indians and they will give value for law and democracy of the country and also say that they are committed for the law of uniform citizen with resoundingly self inspiration which is necessary.

FELICITATION OF HON POLICE COMMISSIONER SHRI. PANDURANG RANE WHO WAS AWARD-ED BY THE PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL.

SUNEEL M. BEVINAKATTI CORPORATOR WIELDS BROOM EVERYDAY IN HIS WARD – MYSORE.

Mysuru- Dressed in a track suit and shoes and armed with a broom, this corporator is winning the hearts of local residents. The day starts with a difference for ward 10 corporator Suneel M. Bevinakatti, who dedicates one hour of his busy schedule to sweeping roads,

Faced with severe shortage of pourakarmikas and the government yet to take a call on recruiting, he decided to do it himself.

The population of the ward is around 12,000 and 23 pourakarmikas have been assigned for cleaning work in his ward, of which two or three will be on leave daily. His request for 10 more pourakarmikas is pending for two years.

For the past eight days Suneel, an LLB graduate, has been sweeping areas surrounding Chamundivana upto R a m a l i n g e s h w a r a temple, including parks and other areas in the neighbourhood. The local residents have begun to join hands with him by helping him collect the garbage and dump it in dustbins.

“Compared to the population of the city, the strength of pourakarmikas is very less.

With the city being declared the cleanest in the country, more pourakarmikas are required. We cannot pressurize them to

do more work. Until five more persons are appointed to my ward. I will continue the work,” adds suneel, a first time corporator.

P o u r a k a r m i k a Muniya said: “His initiative has made us happy. With shortage of manual labourers, there is extra pressure on us. Residents are also joining hands with him, which has helped us.”

R e s i d e n t Vanajalakshmi said: “I was surprised to see our corporator sweeping the road. He advises us to reduce the use of plastic and keep the city clean.”

This apart, he has taken initiatives to increase the green cover in the ward. He has planted more than 60 saplings and the guards for trees were sponsored by local businessman.

Distribution of cloth bags, filling potholes, removing shrubs and cleaning garbage are some his contribution towards swacch-Bharat.
