Jai Bajrang Bali
Lord Hanuman symbolizes strength and unparalleled devotion and selfless service. He is the greatest devotee of Lord Ram and he is a Brahmachari (celibate) and humility is his hallmark.
The greatness of Hanuman is explained by Lord Ram in the Ramayan
Lord Ram said to Hanuman, ‘I am greatly indebted to you, O mighty hero. You did marvelous, superhuman deeds. You do not want anything in return. … you have not asked for anything at any time. You threw away the precious garland of pearls given to you by Sita.How can I repay my debt of gratitude to you? I will always remain deeply indebted to you.I give you the boon of everlasting life. All will honor and worship you like myself. Your idol will be placed at the door of my temple and you will be worshipped and honored first. Whenever my stories are recited or glories sung, your glory will be sung before mine. You will be able to do anything, even that which I will not be able to!’
Devotees chant Hanuman Chalisa and Hanuman Ashtak on the day. Most Hindu devotees also fast on the day or on the previous day. Hanuman Jayanthi Vrat is observed on April 17, 2011 in some regions.

APRIL 9, 2009 HANUMAN JAYANTHI DOES NOT FALL ON A TUESDAY. IT FALLS ON A THURSDAY
Thanks very much for pointing out the error and it has been corrected. Thanks once again
This must be why we can't reach anyone at Campus EAI today....
The reason for the difference between the Hanumath Jayanthi dates between the North Indian Calender - Chitra Pournami date and the Tamil date is the following :-
Rudra (shiva) made a sankalpa to be born as the eleventh Rudra to Kesari and Anjana Devi . He entered Anjana's womb when it was carried by Vayu deva and dropped in Anajana devi's hands when she was meditating on lord Shiva.
This was the Chitra Pournami day . Nine months later i.e December during the Marghai month on the Moola Nakshatra and Amavasya day Lord Anjaneya was born to serve Shri Rama the incarnation of Lord Mahavishnu.
