    Sri Hanumad Vratha - Significance

    bhargavasarma.blogspot.com /2014/12/sri-hanumad-vratha-significance.html

    Dedicated to Lord Hanuman, sukla Trayodasi


    (13th day) during the sacred lunar month
    Margasira masam is reckoned as Hanumad
    Vrata. This we find being observed mostly in
    South especially in Karnataka and Andhra
    Pradesh states.

    According to the legend behind it is said that, it


    was due to Arjunas overlooking (neglect) Lord
    Hanumans significance [who was sitting in the
    form of a flag (emblem) on his chariot].
    Pandavas had to struggle for 13 years (12+1) in
    forests during exile. Perhaps this may be the
    significance behind worshipping Lord Hanuman on this day with a yellow coloured thread having
    13 knots known as Thora and worn by devotees after the pooja.

    On the advice of Lord Vedavyasa who had narrated the significance of this vratha to Dharmaraja,
    Draupadi Devi performed this Vratha under the guidance of Lord Sri Krishna. It is believed that
    Lord Sri Rama Himself had performed this Vratha. On this day, Lord Hanuman is exclusively
    worshiped by one and all for good health, peace, relief from struggles and overall prosperity.
    Hanumad Vratha Vs Hanuman Jayanthi

    There is some confusion among the public as they assume Hanumad Vratha as Hanuman Jayanthi (the
    day Hanuman was born). But, both are different. Chaithra Sukla Pournami (full moon day) in the lunar
    month Chaithra is purported to be the day Lord Hanuman was born celebrated as Hanuman Jayanthi.

    Whereas, Hanumad Vratha (Margasira Sukla Trayodasi) is the day exclusively earmarked for worshiping
    Lord Hanuman. A reference to Hanumadvratha is believed to have been made in Bhavishyottara Purana
    scripted by Lord Vedavyasa.

    Worship of Lord Hanuman is prevailing in Hindu religion since Ramayana days and Lord Hanuman is one
    of the best known and most widely worshiped Deity of Hindu Religion. All walks of people worship Lord
    Hanuman regardless of affiliations. Lord Hanuman, the personification of true and resolute devotion to
    Lord Sri Rama is known for his righteousness, courage, strength, valor, discriminative intelligence etc.

    He is considered as an all powerful Deity capable of eradicating grief and providing solution to the
    mundane problems and sufferings of the individuals.

    Lord Hanuman is as swift as the mind and as fast as the Wind God (Vaayu); He is the one who has
    conquered the senses; a master of Senses who keeps them always under his control; foremost among the
    intelligentsia, honoured for his learning, intelligence and wisdom; who is the son (Pavana Puthra) and
    incarnation of the Wind God (Vaayu); who is the chief of the army of Vanaras (Monkeys); who is the
    messenger (emissary) of Lord Sri Rama; I surrender to such mighty God Lord Hanuman.

    Tathra Tathra Kruthamasthakanjalim
    Bhashpavari Paripoorna Lochanam
    Maruthim namatha Rakshasanthakam

    Above prayer sloka of Hanuman says that wherever RAMA naama is sung, he is present though not
    visible, with his eyes full of tears and with his hands folded in prayer to His Lord Sri Rama.

    Hanuman undoubtedly the greatest devotee of Lord Sri Rama continuously chanted this Tharaka manthra
    (RAMA NAMA) that helped him to accomplish several extraordinary feats during epic Ramayana and also
    endorsed him the status of Bhavishya Brahma, going to be the future Brahma in the coming Ages.

    Buddhir balam yaso dhairyam


    Nirbhayatvam arogata
    Ajaadyam vaak patuthvam cha
    Hanumath smaranaath bhavet...


    Above sloka from Aanjaneya Stuthi is just an example of the benefits one derived by praying Lord
    Hanuman. One will be blessed with wisdom, strength, fame, valor, fearlessness, good health, dearth of

    lethargy and speech vigor by worshiping Lord Hanuman.

    There is nothing that Lord Hanuman cannot bestow upon his true devotee. He is also capable of
    revitalizing the spiritual qualities in an individual and putting him on the right track towards the ultimate goal
    of salvation. Lord Hanuman the living God is easily accessible by chanting of Sri Rama Nama.
