Contact Shatrughan Das Maharaj on 8085511940 and donate on UPI code 8085511940@axl In the heart of India’s spiritual landscape, few figures command as much devotion and awe as Lord Hanuman . Known as the epitome of strength, loyalty, and selfless service, Hanuman Ji is revered as the eleventh Rudra avatar of Lord Shiva and the greatest devotee of Lord Rama. Every year, millions of devotees celebrate Hanuman Jayanti (also known as Hanuman Janmotsav) to mark the auspicious day of his birth, seeking his blessings for protection, wisdom, and courage.

Silence of Diwali

Today is Choti Diwali and everyone's excited. There's happiness in everyone's minds but there's sickness in the air. Sickness not due to physical illness but due to a spiritual one. The lack of Ram Naam (Lord Ram's name) is deafening. My mind wanders through the streets of Ayodhya today where Lord Ram's name was loudly said. The name that purified the people of Ayodhya can no longer be heard amongst the common folk. 



Today I don't hear this name often. Only on the back of vehicles and on the flags and shirts of people claiming to be "Hindus". Today it is mentioned only for the sake of earning money and not to find inner peace. I yearn to hear it as a greeting. I yearn to hear it in a satsang on the tv like dadi used to hear it.

As midnight is nearing, I turn on YouTube and turn to Rajendra das ji maharaj who is a pioneer in Ram Katha. He's talking about Yudh Kand and how fierce he became when Hanuman ji was demeaned. Listening to how Ram ji shot an arrow every time Ravan was about to shoot any weapon and it was destroyed, was pure nectar of ramkatha.
