Lord Hanuman Message for Hanuman JayanthiSwamini Jai Sathya Teachings16:02, 3 May 2013 (UTC)Devi Haywood (talk)

One of the most observed day in the hindu calendar is the birth of Lord Hanuman or Hanuman Jayanthi. Our story began in the heavenly, divine realm Punjikasthala who was an attendant to Brihaspati on one occasion insulted a sage. The sage placed a curse on her to be born on earth as a female monkey which could only be removed by giving birth to a son who would be an incarnation of Lord Shiva. Punjikasthala took birth as Anjana and later married Kesari. Anjana prayed to the God of the wind, Vayu to grace her with a son. Vayu fulfilled this wish and blessed with Hanumanji. The life of Lord Hanuman is filled with feats of courage and displays of immeasurable strength. He is worshipped for his bravery but more so for his humble devotion. Whenever Hanumanji is given praise for his conquest and questioned on the source of his strength, his answer was always the same, Jai Shri Ram, jai Shri Ram, Jai Shri Ram! Faith in God gave Pawn Putra Hanuman the courage to attempt these deeds and also the physical strength to accomplish them. We all face challenges such as sickness, loss and disappoint. We must remember however that no one gets through life without experiencing challenges. Just as Lord Hanuman, we must always remember that faith and devotion to God are the greatest sources of power. Lord Hanuman acted immediately, he never put off his actions for another day. Likewise, we should live like tomorrow will not come. Take some risks. Open your heart a little wider and show your respect for the gift of life that has been given to you. Don’t let this day and all other days go wasted! Shine brightly! Chase your dreams and then wake up tomorrow and reach even higher. Just as Hanumanji we should live our lives in such a way that we too can be a light, an example to others! Jai Bajrangbali Hanuman!

Swami Jai Sathya did not only leave with us her footprints engraved in our hearts but more so she left with us a gem in the form of a message, “Live life confident, Make life confident for Confidence is God”.
