HANUMAT JAYANTHI – 12TH APRIL 2025


This festival, celebrated on April 12th (Saturday), marks the birthday of Lord Hanuman.

Hanuman Ji in scriptures was stated to have born in Treta Yuga. 


According to traditional Hindu calculations, the four yugas follow a cyclical pattern:


Kali Yuga – 432,000 years (Started in 3102 BCE, ongoing now)

Dwapara Yuga – 864,000 years

Treta Yuga – 1,296,000 years

Satya Yuga – 1,728,000 years


When Was Treta Yuga?


To estimate Treta Yuga in BCE, we work backward:


Kali Yuga began in 3102 BCE


Dwapara Yuga lasted 864,000 years → So, it started: 3102+864,000=867,102 


Treta Yuga lasted 1,296,000 years → So, it started: 867,102+1,296,000=2,163,102 


📌 Treta Yuga timeline (Traditional Calculation):


Started: ~2,163,102 BCE Ended: ~867,10


Modern Astronomical Estimates: Treta Yuga (~15,000 BCE – ~5,000 BCE)


But  some researchers use planetary positions from Valmiki Ramayana to estimate that Lord Rama lived around 12,000–17,000 years ago, based on astronomical simulations. This makes Hanuman’s birth closer to that period.


Hence if we follow Modern Astronomical Estimates, Hanuman could be presumed to have born around 5000 BCE.


Hanuman’s birth is mentioned in the Kishkindha Kanda of the Valmiki Ramayana.His mother Anjana was a celestial apsara who was cursed to be born as a Vanara (monkey).


She prayed to Lord Shiva for a divine son, and through Pavana Deva (Vayu - the wind god), she conceived Hanuman.


Hanuman is considered an incarnation or Rudra aspect of Lord Shiva.


The Hanuman Chalisa is a powerful hymn  of 40 verses written by Goswami Tulsidas in praise of Lord Hanuman, highlighting his strength, wisdom, devotion, and service to Lord Rama.
