Sundarakandam

Ramayana is one of the greatest epics gifted to this world for the benefit of mankind originally composed in Sanskrit by Sage Valmiki, comprising of seven chapters called "Kandas".

Among these Kandas, Sundarakanda is considered the most important. It deals with the heroic deeds of Hanuman a mere monkey who rose to Divine Status and overcame each of the most insurmountable difficulties encountered by him right from the beginning of his journey over the sea, to Lanka which he undertook to find Rama's wife Sita who was abducted and kept captive by the evil Ravana, by his mere resolute determination, adventurous enterprise and total dedication to his Lord Shri Rama.

The reading and recital of Sundarakanda with faith and devotion will give happiness and hope. It removes all forebodings from the mind. It will also bring' success and prosperity.

Today, people are hard pressed for time for reading voluminous scriptural texts. Hence GIRI who are pioneers in publishing spiritual Books for the benefit of mankind, have brought out this special pocket version of Sundarakanda in prose order. We are sure even by reading this version with complete faith and devotion one can attain all successes in life.

We are extremely thankful to Shri. A. R. Parthasarathi who has composed this abridged version of Sundarakanda.

We pray to Lord Almighty that every- one reading this book would be richly benefitted .
