According to religious belief, Hanuman ji was born to Anjana Mata (who got the monkey form due to a curse) and Kesari, who was blessed by Lord Shiva. Lord Hanuman was born in the 11th Rudravataar of Shiva. According to mythological beliefs, Vanara was a unique species between man and monkey who lived in the forest. Hanuman ji is considered the king and protector of monkeys. Therefore, on the birth anniversary of Hanuman ji, feeding monkeys or serving them in any way is considered very auspicious.
In the same spirit, following the tradition, a langar was organized for the monkeys on Hanuman Jayanti in Akola, Maharashtra, so that Hanuman ji’s blessings remain and the message of service and compassion also reaches the society. On the day of Hanuman Jayanti, fasting, worshipping, reciting Sunderkand and Hanuman Chalisa along with feeding the needy and animals brings special virtue.
