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?
