- Hanuman Chalisa recitation, bhog & prasad distribution planned; focus on reconnecting youth with Sanatan Dharma and strengthening social harmony
JAMMU: The Management Committee of Shiv Mandir Sector 7 Trikuta Nagar has extended a heartfelt invitation to all devotees to participate in the auspicious celebration of Hanuman Jayanti on April 2, 2026. The event will be held from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM within the temple premises with deep devotion and spiritual enthusiasm.
The programme will feature collective chanting of the sacred Hanuman Chalisa, creating an atmosphere of positivity, faith, and inner peace. Bhog will be offered, followed by distribution of prasad among all devotees. The temple committee has made elaborate arrangements to ensure that the celebration is conducted smoothly and leaves a lasting spiritual impact on all participants.
In the present era, marked by rapid technological advancement, changing lifestyles, and increasing stress levels, such religious programmes have become more of a necessity than a choice. The committee highlighted that todayâs generation is often exposed to distractions, material pressures, and a fast-paced routine that can lead to disconnection from cultural roots and moral values. In this context, celebrations like Hanuman Jayanti serve as a vital platform to reconnect individualsâespecially the youthâwith the principles of Sanatan Dharma, which emphasize righteousness, discipline, humility, and selfless service.
Participation in such spiritual gatherings plays a crucial role in shaping character and fostering a sense of responsibility among individuals. When people come together for collective prayers and chanting, it not only strengthens personal faith but also builds a sense of unity and belonging within the community. Active participation encourages mindfulness, reduces stress, and promotes emotional well-being, which is increasingly important in todayâs demanding lifestyle.
For the younger generation in particular, such events provide an opportunity to learn about their rich cultural heritage in a meaningful and engaging manner. The teachings and ideals associated with Lord Hanumanâcourage, devotion, loyalty, and unwavering dedicationâserve as powerful guiding principles that can help youth navigate modern challenges with strength and clarity.
For residents, the initiative is expected to strengthen neighbourhood bonds, encourage positive social interaction, and create an environment of harmony and mutual respect. For society at large, these gatherings contribute towards preserving cultural identity, promoting ethical values, and fostering collective consciousnessâelements that are essential for building a balanced and progressive society.
The Management Committee has earnestly appealed to all devotees, especially the youth, to actively participate in the celebration and take a step towards spiritual growth and cultural awareness. Their participation will not only enrich their own lives but also contribute to strengthening the moral and cultural fabric of society.The event promises to be a spiritually uplifting, socially unifying, and culturally enriching occasion for all.
