On the sacred occasion of Hanuman Jayanti, Ramcharitmanas Akhand Paath was held from 11th April to 12th April 2025 at the Dasturi Hanuman Mandir (Borghat Police Chowki), Mumbai-Pune Expressway, Maharashtra. This 24-hour uninterrupted recital of the revered Ramcharitmanas brought together devotees, spiritual seekers, and well-wishers in a deeply devotional environment dedicated to Lord Hanuman and the eternal values of the Ramayana.
The Inspiration Behind the Event
Organized with heartfelt devotion by me, the Akhand Paath was not just an offering of prayers but a celebration of faith, culture, and community.
My belief lies in the power of collective devotion and the timeless wisdom of the Ramcharitmanas.
Through this Paath, I wanted to create a space for people to pause, reflect, and realign with spiritual values that ground us — devotion, truth, strength, and service — all of which Hanumanji embodies.
The Significance of Akhand Ramcharitmanas Paath
The Akhand Paath is an age-old tradition that involves the non-stop recitation of the Ramcharitmanas, a 16th-century epic composed by Tulsidas, which narrates the story of Lord Ram. The vibrations created by this continuous chanting are believed to purify the atmosphere, bring peace and prosperity, and invoke the blessings of the divine.
Hanuman Jayanti, being the birth anniversary of Lord Hanuman, holds special significance as Hanuman is considered the greatest devotee of Lord Ram. Hosting the Paath during this occasion enhanced the spiritual power of the event and deepened its meaning for everyone involved.
Community and Celebration
The event saw the participation of dozens of devotees from nearby regions and beyond, who came together to listen, sing, and immerse themselves in the divine verses. The prayer atmosphere, diya lighting, and bhajan sessions created an aura of tranquility and reverence.
As part of the celebration, a special Prasad Vitaran (distribution) was organized for all the attendees. Simple yet soul-satisfying meals and sweets were offered as Prasad, ensuring that no devotee left without blessings, nourishment, and a smile.
Faith in Action
Events like this are a testament to the enduring strength of our spiritual roots. For me, it was an opportunity to give back to the community and honor the values passed down through generations.
My hope is that this becomes a recurring tradition and inspires others to reconnect with their roots, celebrate the richness of our texts, and embrace the calm and courage that devotion brings.
In Gratitude
To everyone who participated, contributed, and offered support – your presence made this event a beautiful, shared spiritual experience. Here’s to many more gatherings that celebrate faith, devotion, and unity.
