Shubh Hanuman Jayanti!
What is Hanuman Jayanti?

Hanuman Jayanti celebrates the birth of a deva- Hanuman. Hindus may celebrate by visiting temple, reciting the Hanuman Chalisa, and distributing sweets.
Why is Hanuman Ji so Important?

As per an excerpt from the Hanuman Chalisa, Sita Ma blessed Hanuman Ji with the divine powers that were then used to rescue her.

"Mother Sita, daughter of Janaka, grants you this boon: you are the holder of the 8 Siddhis and the 9 Nidhis."
What are the Ashta Siddhis?
What are the Nav Nidhis?
If you could have any Ashta Sidhi or any Nav Nidhi, which one would you want?

@algalitsky shares on behalf of the Armenian community:

"We all have our unique stories as to how we came here. We all have the trauma. We express our solidarity."
"In 2015 on the 100 year anniversary of the Armenian genocide, we held a large protest in front of the Turkish embassy. This might be the US recognition."
"Denial of a trauma is to reinforce that Trauma. When you are told it didn't happen and these people miraculously vanished, how are we to move on and mourn. We owe it to our fore-bearers."

She shares her experience: "When I first started graduate school I wanted to research the high school curriculum that perpetuated bias and stereotypes."

Amongst the responses received were "This is how it was always taught."
"In order to eliminate the bias I had to find another route, I found the California texbook re-evaluation issue."
