Hanuman Jayanti

Jai Hanuman!

It's Hanuman Jayanti. Want to know why we celebrate this cutest monkey god’s birthday??

Hanuman symbolizes the aspect of us that is devotion and courage. He represents inner and outer strength. We need these qualities to overcome the karmas in our lives.

The main story featuring Hanuman is the great epic The Ramayana, which tells the tale of his devotion to Lord Rama.

The evil king had stolen Rama’s wife Sita and taken her far away, to an island mountain across the sea.

Hanuman not only helped to rescue her but was also able to leap across mountains and oceans, and even lift up an entire mountain to bring its healing herbs to Rama’s brother to save his life. His unwavering devotion, faith and commitment are just the qualities we need when facing hard times. He represents defiance against oppression.

Even if you do not follow astrology, Saturn is a planet whose influence you might want to have a look at in your life, and where Hanuman’s traits can help you.

Because Saturn, a planet of karma, brings the lessons of our lives forward for us to deal with. We may not be happy about it. There will be some pain. But even in the spiritual world there is a version of “no pain, no gain”. We can lessen the suffering significantly by adjusting our attitudes and creating the right environment to face our lessons with greater ease, and overcome the karmas. Jyotish astrology even gives us remedies to help.

Enter Hanuman.

Some of us are more excited about these cosmic tutorials than others. But Saturn is here to make sure we pay attention, no matter who we are. And his energy is shifting right now.

Saturn in Pisces asks us to align with spirituality, creativity and emotional depth. And we can lean into Hanuman’s qualities for some needed support.
