Every Tuesday and Saturday, a huge crowd of devotees gathers at Hanuman temples. To get relief from troubles, people offer a chola to Lord Hanuman, apply a paste of sindoor and jasmine oil, and offer elaborate prasad. These things have their own significance in religious beliefs, but according to the scriptures, Lord Hanuman is not concerned with external things or expensive offerings.
To please Lord Hanuman, there is one special thing that is more important than all these, and without doing it, every prayer and every worship remains incomplete.
Seventh Bada Mangal On 16 June 2026: Why Is It So Special?
Tomorrow, on 16 June 2026, is the seventh Bada Mangal (Budhwa Mangal) of the month of Jyeshtha. In Sanatan tradition, the results of worshipping Lord Hanuman on Bada Mangal are believed to be many times greater. On this day, bhandaras are organised across the country, especially in Lucknow and North India, and millions of devotees gather to seek Bajrangbali’s blessings. On this auspicious occasion, people make various efforts to please Lord Hanuman. But even on this sacred day, there is one thing you must do, without which your worship may remain incomplete.

What Is That One Thing Without Which Worship Remains Incomplete?
The most important thing is to bring ‘Ram’s character’ into your conduct meaning truth, dignity and honesty. Lord Hanuman is described as one who loves listening to the stories of Lord Ram (Prabhu Charit Sunibe Ko Rasiya). This directly means that Lord Hanuman loves the devotee who follows the path shown by Lord Shri Ram. If a person lies in life, cheats others, troubles the weak and then goes to the temple to offer expensive offerings, Lord Hanuman never accepts such worship. To receive Lord Hanuman’s true blessings, a person’s heart and intentions must be pure.
When Lord Hanuman Broke The Pearl Necklace
A famous episode from the Ramayana teaches us the same lesson. After the victory over Lanka, when Mata Sita gifted Lord Hanuman a precious pearl necklace, Hanuman Ji started breaking each pearl with his teeth and throwing it away. When Lakshman Ji asked the reason, Hanuman Ji said that a pearl which does not contain the name and character of his Lord Ram is like a piece of stone to him. When people questioned this, the mighty Hanuman tore open his chest and showed that Siya-Ram resided within him. This story tells us that Hanuman Ji only cares about devotion and conduct.

Conduct Also Holds Great Importance From An Astrological Perspective
According to astrology, worshipping Lord Hanuman helps reduce the negative effects of Mars and Saturn. In our scriptures, Lord Shani Dev is considered the ‘judge’ the one who gives the results of a person’s actions. Shani Dev is never influenced by anyone’s offerings; he only observes one’s deeds. If you treat people fairly in society, serve your parents and perform your duties honestly, only then can Hanuman Ji’s worship help remove planetary troubles. Simply offering sindoor does not wash away the sins of one’s actions.
Keep This In Mind While Worshipping On This Bada Mangal
If you truly want Bajrangbali to fulfil your wishes and remove your troubles on this seventh Bada Mangal on 16 June, then bring a small change within yourself when you visit the temple. While reciting Hanuman Chalisa, understand the meaning of its verses. Awaken courage, discipline and the resolve to help others within yourself. This Bada Mangal, if you feed someone hungry or help a needy person selflessly, you will not even need to offer sindoor; Lord Hanuman Himself will stand with you as your shield.
