Hanuman ji is believed to be the reincarnation of Bhagwan Shiv ji. For this reason, organising Hanuman ji Katha in the holy month of Savan holds great religious significance for devotees.
The current session of Hanuman ji katha started with the blessings of the Bageshwar Dham Sarkar ji and the hard work of all the organising committee members. There is so much desire among the devotees to participate in Baba’s Hanuman Katha recitation that the devotees are already rushing to get a seat and ensure their place.
The Hanuman Katha recitation by Baba Dhirendra Krishna Shastri (Bageshwar Dham) will continue for the next three days from the 6 to the 8th of July at Utsav Ground in Delhi’s I.P Extension.
