On the auspicious occasion of Shri Hanuman Jayanti on 1 January 2022, a Samashti Shri Hanuman Chalisa Maha Parayana Homa was organized by Chinmaya Mission Hosur, under the guidance of Swami Shashvatananda. The divine celebration was held with great enthusiasm and devoted participation from all members as well as the public.
Since Shri Hanuman Jayanti came with the beginning of the year 2022, sevaks felt that the prayer should be “the new year should bring more good health and get rid of all negativities”. It was also decided to do the prayer collectively by involving the public.
The owner of nearby land Shri Thiagarajan and Smt. Vasanthi Thiagarajan came forward to support by providing the venue. This was much appreciated. Arrangements were made with temporary roofing and sufficient gap for each Homakunda.
Feedback from the public was good and 81 families registered with 45 families finally having participated. Each family was given a Homakunda and all necessary materials. Shri Krishna Sharma from Chinmaya Mission Salem conducted the Homa. Brahmachari Saravanan also graced the occasion.
The Homa started at 8.30 AM IST. Shri Hanuman Chalisa was chanted continuously 27 times. For every two shlokas, offerings were made in the Homa. Participants devotedly chanted and made offerings in the Homa. Along with them, members and other volunteers also chanted.
After Purnahuti, the Kalashas kept in the Homa were brought inside Chinmaya Upasana. All those who participated were requested to assemble inside the Centre. Then, a special abhisheka was offered to Shri Hanuman with “Abhisheka Dravyams” and “Kalasha Teertham”. During the time of Alankaram, members rendered a few Bhajans and Swami Shashvatananda had a satsang on Shodasha Upachara Puja, quoting from “Shri Kambha Ramayanam”.
To conclude, Maha Arati was done and Prasadam given to all. Everybody felt happy and thanked Chinmaya Mission Hosur for organizing such a beautiful celebration. The entire programme was planned with Covid-appropriate behaviour and was concluded satisfactorily. Swami Shashvatananda and members thanked all those who contributed to this memorable event.
