Hanuman Jayanti 2026
SAVE THE DATE! | April 1, 2026
On the auspicious day of Hanuman Jayanti, you are invited to offer prayers to Hanuman, who represents strength, power, loyalty and great knowledge, and who serves as the protector and the one who is victorious over all evils.
At Mount Madonna, this annual event celebrates the birthdays of both Hanuman and Baba Hari Dass.
The day’s events will include a parade, chanting of the Sundar Kanda from the revered epic Ramayana, and a yajna (Vedic fire ceremony) at the Sankat Mochan Hanuman Temple. A bhoj (feast) will conclude the festivities.
Hanuman is venerated throughout India and much of Southeast Asia as the embodiment of devotion, faith, valor, strength, and energy. In the epic Indian tale of the Ramayana, he represents the embodiment of perfect selflessness in his service to the Divine, in the form of Lord Ram. (Read Baba Hari Dass’ words on the topic of Hanuman, a deity representing prana, selfless service, and a broken ego.)
In most parts of India, the auspicious festival of Hanuman Jayanti (Hanuman’s birthday) is celebrated on the full moon day (purnima) of the Chaitra month which usually falls in March or April.
