Sundarakanda : It is a time less story read a million times in a million houses and will continue to be read by millions as indeed we ourselves do !!
Sundarakanda is a story of single minded pursuit ! It is a story which converts a mood of despondency to a mood of optimism and hope ! The mood at the end of Kishkindha kanda in Ramayana was of despondency of Vanaras as well as Rama too. By the end of Sundarakanda there is hope ! It is a story with many highs and lows in the moods of the chief protagonist Hanuman. But he , the Hanuman, never wavers from his objective ! That is probably the most important lesson for all !
It is a story that can convert a non believer into a believer !
We started on this 68 week celebration of one chapter of Sundarakanda every week, way back in in July 2012 on Guru purnima day ! This attempt was more like a Sundarakanda Yagnyam - सुंदरकांड यज्ञ / సుందరకాండ యజ్ఞం / - or put in another way a celebration of Sundarakanda ! The 68 Chapters have been completed with the October 18th 2013 Issue of kasarabada.org ! With that our Sundarakanda Yagnyam too is completed. We also have the traditional Ramapattabhisheka too in Telugu and Kannada for the pleasure of our readers !
While presenting Sundarakanda chapter wise, we also had a few articles separately presented under Ramayana pages or under One more thing pages !
We thought of consolidating all articles related to Sundarakanda on one page for ease of access for the readers.
Here we are also listing all other articles which appeared over the last three years on the pages of kasarabada.org .
