Speech on Hanuman Jayanti in English

ॐ हनुमंते नमः

Om Hanumante Namah

I bow to Bhagwan Hanuman, who embodies strength, devotion, and divine energy

Greetings to One and All!

Today, we have gathered here in honour of Hanuman Ji on the occasion of Hanuman Jayanti, a very special and joyful festival celebrated all over India. Hanuman Jayanti is the birthday of Bhagwan Hanuman, who is one of the most loved and powerful gods in Hindu mythology.

Hanuman Ji is a great devotee of Bhagwan Ram. He is strong and very kind. He has the body of a monkey, with a long tail and strong muscles. He is also called Bajrangbali, Anjaneya, and Maruti. He is admired for helping Shri Ram during the quest of Mata Sita and fighting the evil king Ravana.

As you all know that Hanuman Ji could fly across the sky, lift mountains, and change his size as he wished. But it was not just his strength—his humility, loyalty, and selfless service that made him truly great.

You must have heard various stories about Hanumanji's heroism and bravery, like how swiftly he flew over the mountains to find Sanjeevini Booty (a healing herb) to save Shri Ram's younger brother, Lakshman, who was hurt in the battle. With all his might, he lifted the whole mountain and brought it back to save Lakshman.

To help Bhagwan Ram find Sita Mata, Hanumanji jumped across the ocean to Lanka. There, he bravely faced demons and set the city ablaze with his fiery tail.

Of course! Here's another simple version, split into two sentences:

Shri Ram's army needed to cross the ocean to reach Lanka and rescue Devi Sita. Hanumanji and his army built a bridge over the ocean, and everyone crossed it easily.

So, we see how courageous Hanuman Ji was, we can also try to be brave like him by facing our fears, helping others, and doing tasks that may be difficult but not impossible.

Let me tell you when and how Hanuman Jayanti is celebrated.

Hanuman Jayanti is celebrated every year to mark the birthday of Hanuman Ji. It usually falls in the month of Chaitra (March or April) during the full moon. On this day, people go to temples, chant Hanuman Chalisa, and sing bhajans. Many people also fast on this day and tell stories of Hanumanji's bravery and devotion. His stories are not just exciting but also teach us important lessons.

Now, let me tell you about the lessons we can learn from Hanuman Ji.

Be Brave: Even when things are hard, never be afraid. Hanuman Ji crossed oceans and fought demons fearlessly.

Be helpful and selfless: He always helped others without thinking of himself and showed true devotion to Ram Ji.

Be honest and kind: Hanumanji always spoke the truth and cared for everyone.
Believe in yourself: He did not know his powers at first, but once he remembered, he did amazing things!

We all have a little Hanuman inside us. If we are kind, brave and do the right thing, we can also be heroes in our own way.

Let us celebrate Hanuman Jayanti by remembering his inspiring stories and following his qualities of courage, devotion, and selflessness in our everyday lives.

Thank you and Jai Bajrangbali! Jai Shri Ram!
