Hanuman Jayanti 2026 : Hanuman Jayanti is considered a very sacred and powerful festival in Hinduism. Worshiping Lord Hanuman on this day can eliminate the effects of Shani Dosh, the evil eye, and negative energy from one's life. According to astrology, Hanuman is considered the deity who removes the sufferings of Shani Dev. If worshiped on this day, with the correct method and time, immediate benefits are obtained.
Effective Remedies to Relieve Shani Dosh
If you are experiencing Shani Dosh, Sade Sati, or Dhaiyya in your horoscope, Hanuman Jayanti is a special occasion for you. On this day, bathing in the morning and lighting a mustard oil lamp under a Peepal tree is considered highly auspicious. One should chant the mantra "Om Hanumate Namah" 108 times. Offering vermilion and jasmine oil to Hanuman is also very beneficial. It is believed that this appeases Shani Dev and removes obstacles in life. Donating black sesame seeds, black urad dal, and black clothes also reduces Shani Dosha. This remedy is considered more effective if performed on Saturdays.
Right Time to Recite Hanuman Chalisa
Hanuman Chalisa can be recited every day, but its significance increases manifold on Hanuman Jayanti. According to astrology, reciting the Chalisa during Brahma Muhurta, i.e., between 4 a.m. and 6 a.m., is most fruitful. Reciting it in the evening after sunset is also considered auspicious. If you are suffering from Shani Dosha, recite the Hanuman Chalisa 11, 21, or 51 times on this day. Keep your mind calm and focused while reciting. Reciting the Chalisa while sitting in a temple or lighting a lamp in your home's prayer place increases positive energy and dispels negative forces.
Easy Ways to Avoid the Evil Eye
Some simple steps can be taken to protect yourself from the evil eye on Hanuman Jayanti. It is considered auspicious to place a picture of Hanumanji at the main entrance of the house, especially one depicting him holding a mace. This prevents negative energy from entering the house.
Taking a lemon and seven green chilies and striking them seven times over oneself and then throwing them at a crossroads also wards off the evil eye. Applying a black mark on the forehead of young children is also beneficial for protecting them from the evil eye.
Which day and time is most powerful?
Hanuman Jayanti is very powerful in itself, but if it falls on a Tuesday or Saturday, its effect is even greater. Worshiping Hanumanji on these days quickly alleviates the effects of Shani Dosha. The best time for worship is after sunrise and before sunset. Worship and meditation performed during these times yield immediate results and bring happiness, peace, and security to life.
