The Secret of Hanuman Pataka
According to Hinduism, Ram Lala was born on the 9th day of Shukla Paksha at 12:00 pm, in the Chaitra month.This year, on 17 April 2024, there is a unique ‘Ravi Yog’ in the Hindu calender which makes Rama Navami 2024 even more auspicious.
Lord Hanuman’s flag is also known as the ‘Victory flag’. Here is the mysterious secret behind Lord Hanuman Vijay Pataka:
“During Mahabharat, when Lord Krishna directed Arjuna to fight against the Kauravas, he had to use all of his divine weapons and Brahamastra. After the fight when Lord Krishna and Arjuna got off the chariot, the chariot was on fire by itself. That was when Lord Krishna explained to Arjuna that the chariot could have burnt much before due to the fierce powers of Arjuna’s weapons, it was the presence of Lord Hanuman in the flag on the chariot which kept them going and protected them.”
So, when you hoist Lord Hanuman flag at your house on Rama Navami, Lord Hanuman and Lord Ram live in your house and protect you from the evil.
