Hanuman Jayanti 2023: This time Hanuman Janmotsav will be celebrated on 6 April 2023. This is the matter of consideration that many people are also calling it Hanuman Jayanti, which is completely wrong. However, there is a vast difference between Jayanti and Janmotsav and they should be used properly. Let us know what is the main difference between Jayanti and Janmotsav.
According to the literature, both the words are used for birthday. But the biggest difference between Jayanti and Janmotsav is that one is used for a dead person and the other for a living person. That is, the birthday of those who have died is called Jayanti. Similarly, the birthday of those who are alive is called Janmotsav. Thus the meaning of both words are same but its use is completely different.
Gods and Goddesses have Janmotsav, not Jayanti
According to Indian scriptures, Gods and Goddesses are considered immortal. At the end of the world, they get absorbed in Paramshiv Tattva. In such a situation, his birthday is called Janmotsav or Prakatyotsav. If there is a person who is no longer alive then his/her birthday will be called Jayanti, for example Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti, Rabindranath Tagore Jayanti etc.
Bajrang Bali is one of the eight Chiranjeevis
According to Jyotishacharya Pandit Ramdas, Hanumanji has been considered one of the eight Chiranjeevis. The names of the eight Chiranjeevis are (1) Ashwathama, (2) Daityaraj Bali, (3) Ved Vyas, (4) Hanuman, (5) Vibhishan, (6) Kripacharya, (7) Parshuram and (8) Markandeya Rishi respectively. It is believed that as long as the universe exists, all these people will also remain alive and young.
