Jai Veer Hanuman! Om Namo Hanumate Namaha! Bajrang Bali Ki Jai!
Hanuman Jayanti is one occasion that I like many other devotees the world over look forward to!
This was how the day began:
Hanuman Jayanti Greetings from Appaji- His Holiness Sri Sri Sri Ganapathy Sachidananda
This year I was able to be present at places I hold quite dearly and I was able to celebrate it with those who are extremely dear to me at firstly- the Coromandel Shiv Mandir in Coromandel Village Cedros, and later in the day at the Sri Dattatreya Yoga Centre at Orangefield Road in Carapichaima!
I was able to spend time with my family-immediate family, Coromandel Shiv Mandir family and our Datta family- a true blessing you will surely agree!
It was not only a day of singing praises to Lord Hanuman but it was a day of Hanuman Chalisa Chanting! All in all it was a blissful day and a day filled with devotion!
The day was filled with being there while pujas were being conducted, bhajans were being sung and the highlight of the day was spending it with people who I value! During puja at the Coromandel Shiv Mandir there was rain at one point and it was welcomed in the midst of the dry spell and soaring temperatures we have been experiencing in Trinidad and Tobag0.
When we arrived at Sri Dattatreya Yoga Centre puja was in progress. Being at the feet of Lord Hanuman was a blessing and I enjoyed every moment thoroughly. The view of the moon was very inviting and capturing the pictures you see below together with the view of the stars were the final touches to an already perfect day!
Here are some pictures I took while I was at the Coromandel Shiv Mandir on Hanuman Jayanti:
Puja to Lord Hanuman was in progress! My Mom (Mrs Doris Thomas) is the one in red kneeling at the Bedi!Offerings were being made to the Shiva LingamThe bedi-the flowers, sacred leaves, the tulsi tree, the fig tree, the kalsa, the lota-a beautiful sight!The murtis on the stage-Coromandel Shiv MandirThe singhasan -Coromandel Shiv MandirLord Ganesh, Hanuman Baba and Lord Shiva
I am grateful that both events did not occur at the same time as in the morning I was at the Coromandel Shiv Mandir and in the evening I was at the Dattatreya Yoga Centre to witness puja at the 85ft Karya Siddhi Hanuman Murti.
While those were the morning pictures these were the evening pictures:
Puja was in progress and devotees were participating in Puja
A View of Karya Siddhi Hanuman Ji from where I was sitting!A beautiful sight- Guru Paduka Puja was performed as well as Puja to Lord Satyanarayana- the light, the flowers, the coconut, the decorations of the Padukas, Hanuman Ji, Lord Satyanarayana and Appaji-0ur beloved Sri Sri Sri Ganapathy Sachidananda Swamiji of Mysore IndiaSuch a beautiful sight- both Murtis of Lord Hanuman are beautifully decorated. Look at them adorned with flowers. Look also at the Malas of paan leaves, the lights, the parrots, the vada! Karya Siddhi Hanuman Ki Jai! Jai Veer Hanuman!This is another view of the beautifully decorated Lord Hanuman! Jai Veer Hanuman!
This was such a mystical sight! There was a full moon for Hanuman Jayanti 2016! I am happy I was able to get this picture!
So beautiful! So mystical! Look at how brightly the moon was shining and I am pleased I was able to get this photo of Lord Hanuman and the Moon.
The greatness of Hanuman Ji is evident! For those who do not know Hanuman Ji is the 11th incarnation of Lord Shiva! Bajrang Bali Ki Jai!This picture like the others tells a thousand words!

It was indeed a great and blessed day! Felt like being India by the 85ft Sri Karya Siddhi Hanuman! Through out the whole day from early morning 6am to late night there was a continuous flow of devotees arriving to seek blessings and make offerings!! Jaya Sri Hanuman!
Jaya Guru Datta! I cannot say that I have experienced being in India but it is something I most certainly look forward to! Thank you for your comment and for letting all who read this post know of the high level of devotion present! We are fortunate to have Guru’s Grace and Lord Hanuman’s blessings and Divine presence. Blessed and intense it most certainly was and a sure sigh that God’s presence is great! Jaya Sri Hanuman!
