CELEBRATING 75 YEARS OF CHINMAYA MISSION

In 2026, we will mark a historic milestone – 75 years of Chinmaya Mission’s divine service. To honour this occasion, we are organising the largest Hanuman Havan ever held in Melbourne – a spiritual and cultural offering that brings together 30,000 devotees in an unforgettable experience of faith, devotion, and unity.

WHY A HANUMAN HAVAN?

Millions of people around the world know the benefits of Hanuman Chalisa and Hanumanji. Hanuman Chalisa chanting individually has its mystical powers and spiritual benefits. We plan to chant Hanuman Chalisa around the globe in a short period of few months for the Supreme good of the Totality. The chanting of this magnitude had unimaginable benefits of to one and all. Come and join us in this global endeavor by Chinmaya mission and benefit your family and yourself.

Havan has its own special place among the Hindu ritual. Invocation of the Deity through the spiritual fire is well known to bring auspiciousness and purity of the mind from time immemorial. We are performing this ancient and sacred fire ceremony for the benefit of all.

We have demonstrated the power of such an undertaking already in the Hanuman Havan in 2009 in India. This auspicious act had brought about the peace of India and protected it nationally for more than a decade.

Anecdotes are shared of Hanuman Havan brings about miracles in people’s lives. Hopeless health issues find cure on such a Havan performance. Tormenting marriage sagas gets resolved by Hanuman Havan’s endeavor.

Protection cast by these sacred chants in Hanuman Havan are unbelievable on hearing. People share stories of surviving major motor vehicle accidents without a scratch by its grace. Fear and anxiety seem to dissolve in those sacred fires. Difficulties in life melt away in its warmth. For a spiritual seeker, the Supreme devotion and Spiritual enlightenment is the promise to the chanters of Chalisa.

The funds raised in this massive undertaking goes towards some the celebrated work of Chinmaya mission worldwide. Chinmaya International Residential School is leading the world in its International Baccalaureate scores. Chinmaya Vishwa Vidyapeeta (CVV) is a university structured to revolutionize the minds of next generation with the foundation Indian Knowledge System

Life of Lord Hanuman

Cursed to Forget His Powers

Due to his constant mischiefs as a child, sages cursed Hanuman to forget his powers until someone reminded him. This humility helped shape his service-oriented nature.

Meeting Lord Rama

Hanuman met Lord Rama and Lakshmana while they were searching for Sita. Disguised as a Brahmin, Hanuman introduced himself and instantly became Lord Rama’s most devoted follower.

Hanuman’s Journey to Lanka

When Jambavan reminded Hanuman of his powers, he leapt across the ocean to reach Lanka. There, he met Sita in Ashoka Vatika and gave her Lord Rama’s ring to assure her rescue.

Burning of Lanka

After delivering Lord Rama’s message, Hanuman allowed himself to be captured. When his tail was set on fire, he used it to burn down large parts of Lanka, showing both his strength and devotion.

Bringing Sanjeevani Booti

During the war in Lanka, Lakshmana was mortally wounded. Hanuman was sent to bring the Sanjeevani herb from the Himalayas. Unable to identify the exact herb, he lifted the entire mountain and brought it back, saving Lakshmana.

Witnessing Rama’s Coronation

After the war, Hanuman returned with Rama to Ayodhya. He was honored during Lord Rama's coronation, and Rama declared that Hanuman would live as long as his name is chanted.

Refusal of Heaven

When offered great boons and heavenly pleasures, Hanuman humbly declined them, asking only to remain devoted to Lord Rama and serve him eternally.

Immortality and Eternal Service

Hanuman is one of the Chiranjivis (immortals). He continues to live on Earth, invisible, helping devotees of Rama and protecting righteousness.

Birth of Hanuman

Hanuman was born to Anjana (an apsara cursed to be born on Earth) and Kesari, a vanara chief. He was blessed by Lord Vayu (Wind God), which gave him immense strength and speed. His birth is considered divine and purposeful for aiding Lord Rama.

Childhood Mischiefs and Sun Incident

As a child, Hanuman mistook the Sun for a ripe fruit and leapt toward it to eat it. Indra struck him with his thunderbolt (Vajra), injuring his jaw. Lord Vayu, enraged, withdrew air from the universe. To appease him, the gods blessed Hanuman with various divine powers.
