Jay Shree Ram Sundarkand Parivar

Sundarkand is the fifth chapter of the Hindu holy book called ‘Ramayan’.
The Ramayana has been divided into following chapters by Tulsidas as per the events andimportance of the life of lord shri Ram.
Balyakand
Ayodhyakand
Aranyakand
Kishkindhakand
Sundarkand
Lankakand
Utarakand

What does it contains ?

When Rama sets out for searching Sita towards lanka, they were at the bank of sea at
Rameshwar and were planning how to cross the sea.
Jamwant reminded Shree Hanumanji of having a divine power of flying, Shree Hanumanji
sets out towards lanka in search of Sitaji.
This is the commencement of sunderkand. On the way Hanumanji met lots of obstacles in
the form of she demon Sursa than lankini, however He successfully reaches lanka by over
powering them.
On reaching He meets Vibhishan [brother of Ravana] where he tells Hanumanji about the

critical situation of Sitaji and told about Ashok Vatika. Hanumanji meets Sitaji after
showing the proof of being the ambassador of Shree Rama.
He than destroys the Ashok Vatika [beautiful garden] upon which Ravan gets annoyed
and sent his sons to kill Him but in this process one of his son got killed.
However they could overpower Hanumanji who brought Him in front of Ravan. Ravan
orders his followers to lit a fire on his tail.
As a result of this the tail went on becoming bigger and bigger and the fire engulfed whole
lanka.
After doing this Hanumanji went to meet Sitaji and said He will come with lord Ram to
rescue her.
Hanumanji narrated total incident to lord Rama on returning from Lanka.
Upon this Rama started his journey towards lanka by creating Ram setu [BRIDGE] on the
sea and enters lanka.
This is the sunderkand being narrated in verses and poetry form.

Why it is supposed to have power ?

As you know this version of Ramayana has been written by shri Tulsidasji.
After completing the end verses of Kishkindhakand he felt that next portion should be
written in presence of Shree Hanumanji.
So he started sadhana and upasana and aahwan to which shri Hanumanji accepted and
came.
Sunderkand was written in front of shri Hanumanji and at the end of Sunderkand,
Tulsidasji requested to imbibe life in this kand by blessing the devotees who recites this
kand of freeing from the worldly worries.
This was done by lord Shree Hanumanji. Hence it is powerful.

Why it is named “Sundarkand” ? The Trikutachal mountains at Srilanka have three ranges.

Neel range on which the country people stay.
Suvel range which is the vast plateau.
Sundar range where Ashok Vatika is located and the total events of sundarkand took

place on this range, hence the sundarkand.

Further more shri Tulsidasji has said; “Sundere sundero ram sundere sunderi katha
Sundere sunderi sita sundere Kim na sunderem”
Meaning of this is, in sunderkand
everything is sunder that is beautiful. Rama is beautiful; Sita is beautiful the story
is beautiful. It is an upasana or a prayer of beautiful people hence the prayer has to generate a
power for the devotee or sadhak or the reciter. It contains a lovely hugging of lord Rama and
his devotee Shree Hanumanji showering the word of appreciation and indebt ness for all
good Hanumanji did to Rama while rescuing Sita. A devotee to whom Rama could not
reciprocate. He did as a sevak. This power percolates to the devotee who prays to lord
Hanumanji via sunderkand containing the praise of lord Shree Hanumanji.
