<p>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt; Yesterday, I spent some time going through different pieces of information, stories, and lesser-known details about Hanuman Jayanti and Lord Hanuman.&lt;br&gt; There is so much written. So many interpretations. So many layers.&lt;br&gt; Somewhere in all of that, I felt the need to pause.&lt;br&gt; So I did what I usually do.&lt;br&gt; I took each of those pieces of information, one by one, and checked them with my pendulum.&lt;br&gt; Not to decide what is right or wrong.&lt;br&gt; But to see what feels right to share today. These are the few that stayed.&lt;br&gt; Lord Hanuman stands for courage, discipline, intelligence, devotion, and selfless service.&lt;br&gt; He carried the Sanjeevani mountain not because he was strong, but because someone needed saving.&lt;br&gt; He learned from the Sun itself, a reminder that strength without knowledge is incomplete.&lt;br&gt; In some parts of India, this is not just a day, but a 41-day observance. A quiet reminder that devotion is not an event, it is a practice.&lt;br&gt; We offer simple things on Hanuman Jayanti. Sindoor, oil, flowers, laddus. Not for ritual, but for connection.&lt;br&gt; Many read the Sundara Kanda, the part where Lord Hanuman steps into the unknown and returns with hope.&lt;br&gt; And there is a temple in Varanasi, the Sankat Mochan Hanuman Temple, where people still go with one simple belief.&lt;br&gt; That their burdens will feel lighter. If there is one thing that stayed with me, it is this.&lt;br&gt; Lord Hanuman did not become powerful and then devoted.&lt;br&gt; His devotion made him powerful.&lt;br&gt; Maybe that is what this is really about.&lt;br&gt; Not asking for strength.&lt;br&gt; But aligning with something deeper, and letting strength follow.&lt;br&gt; God bless.&lt;br&gt; K Sharad Haksar&lt;br&gt; Dowser | Photographer | Creative Director&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</p>
