“Dharmasamsthapana celebrated Hanuman Jayanti globally in lockdown: 8-4-2020”

It is heartwarming to hear about Dharmasamsthapana's initiative to help devotees worship Lord Hanuman on HANUMAN JAYANTI 08-04-2020, during the lockdown. With the world facing the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic, finding solace and spiritual support becomes even more crucial.

The idea of conducting Archana and offering prayers on behalf of devotees who cannot physically visit the temple is a beautiful way to connect with them and extend the blessings of the Lord Hanuman. Reciting the "Hanuman Chaleesa" a certain number of times as chosen by each devotee and performing Archana on their Name and Gotra adds a personal touch to the worship, making it more meaningful for the individuals involved.

It is remarkable to see how this initiative has gained so much traction, with over 1.8 lakh devotees participating from various countries around the world, including Abu-Dabi, Iran, Iraq, Dubai, Denmark, Italy, Australia, US and other countries.

The efforts put forth by Sri Rangarajan ji, the Chief priest of Chilkuru Balaji Temple, and Sri Suresham Aatmaram Mharaj, along with other archakas, to complete the puja for each devotee is truly commendable.

In times of uncertainty and despair, acts of devotion and collective prayer can bring comfort and strength to people. This initiative serves as a reminder that even in challenging circumstances, faith and spirituality can unite people across borders and offer hope.

Let us hope that this collective prayer and worship bring positive energy and well-being to all the devotees involved and the world at large during these trying times. May their efforts serve as an inspiration for others to find innovative ways to support and uplift one another, even in times of crisis.

Some devotees, driven by a deep sense of devotion, meticulously kept track of the number of times they recited Hanuman Chalisa and shared their counts with us.

Engaging in Bhagavath aradhana and practicing Bhakti entails more than just tallying the number of times we perform these acts. It's about immersing ourselves in the service of the Lord, where the remembrance of the Lord's name takes precedence and other worldly matters fade into the background.

In this sense, this practice can be considered a form of meditation – a pathway to attaining God realization. Yoga serves as the stepping stone to this profound spiritual connection.

Together, we achieved our goal of reciting with unwavering devotion on Sri Hanuman Jayanthi. One Crore Hanuman Chalisa
