Sundara Kandam Tamil
Sundara Kaanda is the fifth book in the Hindu epic, the Ramayana. This remarkable chapter of the Ramayana, composed by Valmiki in Sanskrit, highlights the adventures of Hanuman, who is the central character here. Unlike most of the Ramayana, where Rama is the main focus, Sundara Kanda showcases Hanuman’s selflessness, immense strength, and unwavering devotion to Rama. The name “Sundara,” which means beautiful, was lovingly given to him by his mother Anjani. It is also the reason why Valmiki chose this title, as it perfectly captures Hanuman’s remarkable journey to Lanka.
Reading Sundara Kandam provides peace of mind and courage to those who engage with it. It is a deep-rooted belief among Hindus that those facing difficulties, like the sick or those worried about children’s marriages, will receive blessings by reading or listening to it.
Sundara Kandam Tamil – சுந்தர காண்டம்
In this beautiful text, a group of monkeys, led by Angada, sets out towards Lanka to search for Sita. While resting on Mahendragiri Mountain, they receive guidance from the wise elder, Jatayu. Following this advice, Hanuman soars through the skies and crosses the ocean to reach Lanka.
In Ashoka Vanam, where Ravana has imprisoned Sita, Hanuman, in his small monkey form, meets her. To announce himself as Rama’s messenger, he presents her with Rama’s signet ring. Sita, in turn, gives Hanuman her necklace, urging him to tell Rama to wage a war against Ravana and rescue her within a month.
Later, Hanuman finds himself captured by demons, and they set fire to his tail. Undeterred, he uses the fire to his advantage, flying around Lanka and setting a large part of it ablaze. He bravely fights off those who try to capture him, including the mighty sons of Ravana and other fierce demons.
After his adventure, Hanuman eagerly presents Rama with news of Sita, bringing her message along with the precious ring back to him. Following this, the monkeys, led by Nala and Neela, built a bridge over the sea to help Rama’s army reach Lanka.
