In Honor of Hanuman Jayanti
































































































A few days ago, passing by an antique shop, I saw in the window a small brass statuette of Lord Hanuman set on a plinth. I had seen it in that window before and was struck by it, but this time my niece, who was with me, encouraged me to go into the shop and have a better look. It was unusual: half the statuette was of Lord Hanuman and the other half was of Lord Ram. As soon as I held it in my hand, I felt a tingle, like an electric current in my heart—a definite connection. I bought it!
At home, I washed the statuette, cleaned the brass till it gleamed, applied heena oil, and then set it on my puja altar. Later that evening, I opened the Siddha Yoga path website and saw that Shri Hanuman’s birthday was the very next day. It was such a beautiful coincidence. On his birthday, I offered puja to Lord Hanuman and played Shri Hanuman Chalisa. It feels very special!
