News India Live, Digital Desk: The full moon day of Chaitra month has special religious significance for the devotees who believe in Hindu religion, because on this auspicious day, the birth anniversary of Anjani’s son Bajrangbali is celebrated with great pomp and joy. This year, this great festival of Hanuman Janmotsav will be celebrated across the country on Thursday, April 2, 2026. On this auspicious occasion, special worship of Ram devotee Hanuman is done. It is believed that any devotee who worships Maruti Nandan with true heart on this day, all the troubles of his life go away. Let us know how to please God on this day and what are the two mythological stories related to his birth, without reciting which this fast is considered incomplete.

How to get Bajrangbali’s special blessings and desired boon? On the holy festival of Hanuman Janmotsav, devotees should wake up early in the morning before sunrise and take bath. After this, first of all one should pay obeisance to Sankatmochan Hanuman ji while meditating on Maryada Purushottam Lord Shri Ram. In the auspicious time, do special worship of Hanuman ji with rituals. During the puja, offer Bajrangbali his most favorite offering i.e. ‘Boondi’. The most important thing is to listen or read the story of the birth of Hanuman ji during the puja. According to religious beliefs, pleased with the true faith and devotion of the devotee, Anjani’s son showers his immense blessings on the entire family and fulfills all the wishes of his devotee in a moment.

The mysterious ‘eagle story’ of Hanuman Jayanti The first and most interesting story related to the birth of Bajrangbali is related to King Dasharatha of Ayodhya. According to mythology, when Agnidev provided divine kheer to King Dasharatha to have a son, he distributed it among his three queens. When this kheer was being given to Queen Kaikeyi, suddenly an eagle swooped down and snatched the kheer from her hand and flew into the sky. When the eagle passed over Mata Anjana’s ashram while flying, at that time Mata Anjana was looking towards the sky above and her mouth was open. Coincidentally, the pudding slipped from the eagle’s claws and fell straight into Mother Anjana’s mouth, which she swallowed. According to the scriptures, the Rudra incarnation of Lord Shiva i.e. Hanuman ji was born from the part and effect of this divine kheer.

Second story related to Mohini form of Lord Shiva and Vishnu Another story regarding the birth of Hanuman ji is also described in the Puranas which is very interesting. This story is related to the period of churning of the ocean. During the churning of the ocean, when Lord Vishnu had shown his charming ‘Mohini form’ to the demons and the gods, Lord Shiva desired to see that form. To fulfill this wish of Mahadev, Shri Hari Vishnu again took the form of Mohini and appeared before him. Being attracted by that extremely attractive Mohini form of Lord Vishnu, Lord Shiva ejaculated. After this, Pawandev placed the semen of Lord Shiva in the womb of Anjana, the wife of monkey king Kesari. As a result of this, Mahabali Hanuman ji was born from the womb of Mother Anjana as the 11th Rudra incarnation of Lord Shiva.
