Although anyone can worship Hanuman ji, but there are some special rules for women to worship Bajrangbali. Under these rules, women are forbidden to touch the statue of Mahavir Bajrangbali. Why so? Let’s know. Premanand Maharaj of Vrindavan has given detailed information about this.
Why do women not touch the idol of Hanuman ji?
According to Premanand Maharaj, Hanumanji, the beloved devotee of Lord Rama, was Brahmachari and he followed this rule throughout his life. He considered every woman a mother. So women should not touch their image. Neither touch their feet. Now if it is only a matter of perceptions, then we should accept it. However, women can worship Hanuman ji if they want.
Premanand Maharaj told that women can offer offerings to Hanuman ji. His aarti and mantras can also be chanting. Only their mind can remember. But the idol should be avoided. Keeping these some of these rules in mind, any woman can worship Bajrangbali with full legal practice on this Hanuman Jayanti.
