Why Hanuman?
Lord Hanuman embodies the three pillars this celebration stands upon.
Freedom
Hanuman broke the chains of Sita's captivity. He leapt across the ocean without hesitation. True freedom is the courage to serve without limit.
Strength
He carried the Sanjeevani mountain to heal the fallen. Our Sanjeevani Center carries the mission of nourishing bodies, minds, and souls.
Devotion
"Dasa-ham Kosalendrasya" — I am the servant of Lord Rama. The highest freedom is found in surrendered service to Sriman Narayana.
