Ash­ta Sid­hi Nav Nid­hi Ke Daataa, pre­sent­ed by the Shi­va Gana Or­gan­i­sa­tion to cel­e­brate Hanu­man Jayan­ti, the birth­day of Shri Hanu­man was held at the Di­vali Na­gar in Ch­agua­nas last Sat­ur­day.

The cel­e­bra­tions in­clud­ed 108 Shri Hanu­man pu­jas, the singing of the Hanu­man Chal­isa, Ra­mayana Sto­tras and 108 Hanu­man Gay­a­tri mantras.

The num­ber 108 is sa­cred, ac­cord­ing to Vedic cos­mol­o­gy, as it is the ba­sis of cre­ation and rep­re­sents the uni­verse, cos­mic en­er­gy and di­vine con­nec­tion’

Known as a Har­shad num­ber, it is an in­te­ger di­vis­i­ble by the sum of its dig­its. 1+0+8 =9. It is al­so di­vis­i­ble by 9. In as­trol­o­gy, that num­ber can be no­ticed with the ap­prox­i­mate re­la­tion­ships of the Sun, Earth, and Moon.

The di­am­e­ter of the Sun is 108 times the di­am­e­ter of Earth. The dis­tance from the Sun to Earth is 108 times the di­am­e­ter of the Sun. The dis­tance from the Earth to the Moon is 108 times the di­am­e­ter of the moon.

Hanu­man’s spir­i­tu­al fa­ther is Vayu, the wind god, hence he is called the son of the wind and is rep­re­sent­ed by the colour red.

Of­fi­ci­at­ing pun­dit Iswar Mad­ho Ma­haraj was joined by Pun­dits Je­w­an, Narindra,Mahin­dra, Satesh, Satyam, Sarveshm and Lu­ka Ma­haraj.
