Moreover, he is also a Chiranjivi, which means he is immortal. But here, a question arises: is Hanuman Ji still alive in this era of Kalyuga? 

If yes, then where is he now? There are a lot of questions like this in people’s minds. 

Is Hanuman Still Alive in Kaliyuga?

Yes, Hanuman Ji is still alive. Even in this period of Kaliyuga, he is alive because he says that as long as the name of Ram remains on earth, he will not go anywhere. Also, in this blog, you will see the 6 evidence that proves that he is still alive.

Furthermore, in Kaliyuga, he is waiting for the last Vishnu avatar, i.e., Kalki. He will teach him about Asht Siddhi and Nav Nidhi. Also, six immortals will join them, and together, they will fight against Kali Purush. Apart from this, let us show you these 6 proofs.

6 Proofs that Hanuman Ji is Still Alive in Kalyuga? 

So, here are the 6 major proofs that will answer our question. These are as follows: 

Boon of Immortality From all Gods and Brahma

In Hanuman Ji’s childhood, Hanuman Ji mistakes the Sun (Surya) for a ripped mango. Also, he was very strong too. So, to protect Surya dev, Devraj Indra hit him with his thunderbolt. Then, his father, Vayu, stopped the flow of oxygen in the world, and living organisms started to die. So, to stop this destruction, all Devtas asked for an apology from Hanuman. Then, they granted Hanuman so many boons to him. Eventually, Brahma Ji came and gave him the boon of immortality. So that he will always remain alive and Vayu will not get angry again. 

Boon of Immortality From Sita Maa

During the Ramayana, Shree Ram sent Hanuman Ji to Sita Maa with a message. He also asked Hanuman Ji to give Sita Maa his ring as proof that he was still alive. So, Hanuman Ji went to Lanka and met Sita Maa. He gave her the ring and the message of Shree Ram. Seeta Ji was so happy and impressed by Hanuman Ji’s determination. So, Sita Maa gives him the boon of immortality as a blessing, just like a mother gives to her child. 

Hanuman Ji as the Rudra Avatar of Shiv Ji

Hanuman Ji is the 11th Rudra Avatar of Shiv Ji. However, some people do not agree with this. The Satarudriya Samhita of Shiva Purana mentions that Hanuman Ji is an Avatar of Shiva. Moreover, when Brahma Ji gave Ravana the boon of invincibility, he realized that he had made a mistake. So, he asked Shiv Ji for help, and he decided to be born as a Vanar or Monkey. Later, he was destined to help Shree Ram in defeating Ravana. So, it also proves that Hanuman Ji is immortal because he is an incarnation of Shiv Ji. Also, in the Hanuman Chalisa, the term Shankar Suvan is used to describe Hanuman Ji. It means the avatar of Shiva. 

Controversial Photo of Hanuman Ji

In 1988, a group of pilgrims went on a trip to Manasarovaar Lake in the Himalayas, India. One devotee in this group saw a white light coming from a cave. When he went into the cave, he saw a monkey who appeared to be Hanuman Ji himself. So, he immediately took a picture of the monkey. Unfortunately, he died due to an unknown cause. Later, his friends recovered the camera roll and printed the picture. Below, you can see this picture.

Mathang Community Have Seen Hanuman 

Mathang is a Sri Lankan tribal community. As per Ramayana, they are believed to be the offspring of sage Matanga. The people of this group claim that Hanuman Ji visits them every 41 years. Moreover, the most recent visit of Hanuman Ji occurred on 27 May 2024. But why does Hanuman visit this group every 41 years? Well, this is because when Shree Ram took samadhi, Hanuman Ji went to Pidurutalagala mountain of Sri Lanka to do the dhyana of Shree Ram.

So, the group who lived there took good care of Hanuman. Later, when the time came for Hanuman Ji to go, he promised them that he would visit them after every 41 years. Furthermore, it is said that the next visit of Hanuman Ji will occur in 2055.

Foot Marks of Hanuman Ji 

Hanuman Ji has the ability to manifest his size. He can expand or shrink his size of will. So, when he was all set to go to Lanka, he expanded his size and took a huge leap to cross the ocean. Due to his massive size and weight their feet stamped on the ground. These footprints are small and big in different places, which proves that Hanuman Ji could adjust his shape to big or small. In fact, not only in Sri Lanka, his footprints are present in all of Asia.

You can find some of them in Andhra Pradesh (India) and Ashok Vanam (Ashok Vatika or Ramayana). Moreover, no artificial tool or technology is capable of creating such impressions. So, it proves the existence of Hanuman Ji.
