Devotee Talk
Harihi om,
Sanjeevini Peetam is a spiritual centre for propagating Hanuman Chalisa. Peetathipathi Mathaji is spreading great spiritual ideals. She is more devoted to Anjeneya and her chosen deity is Hanumanji.
She is humble and her words are simple. Her humility attracts everybody. It is very astonishing tonote that she has recited Hanuman Chalisa more than a lakh times. It is very admirable. The shining Hanuman idol worshiped at the Peetam captures the vision and heart.
In the Peetam, Sundarakandam Parayanam was scheduled for two days, 1st and 2nd March. The recitation of slokas was started at 8.30 a,m. on Saturday the 1st March. Mathaji recited melodiously
and the devotees, men and women accompanied Mathaji. The occasion was very interesting
and enjoyable. Everyybody who participated could feel the divine presence. On the concluding day, Sri Rama Pattabhishekam was read. Every participant was honoured by Mathaji. The intentioin of Mathaji is that to make all read Sundara kandam because the reading instils confidence and makes us live a meaningful life.

Sundara Kanda is a part of Srimath Ramayana Maha Kavyam which was written by Valmiki.
Valmiki named all the parts with relevant names like
“Ayodya Kanda” ==> explains when Rama was in Ayodya.
“Bala Kanda” ==> explains when Rama was a kid at Dasarada.
“Aranya Kanda” ==> Explains when Rama went to Aranya, the forest for 14 Yrs by following the words of his father.
“Kiskinda Kanda” ==> Explains about the time spent by Rama @ Kiskinda Rajyam
“Yuddha Kanda” ==> Explains the war between Rama and Ravana.
But Sundara Kanda has an irrelevant name …
What is Sundaram, the beauty in Sundara Kanda?
Valmiki expalined sundara Kanda’s beauty and the secret behind its name in one sloka
“sundare sundaro ramah sundare sundari katha
sundare sundari sita sundare sundaram vanam,
sundare sundaram kavyam sundare sundarah kapih
sundare sundaram mantram sundare kim na sundaram”
In the Sundara Kanda, the beautiful chapter, beautiful is Rama, beautiful is the story; Beautiful is Sita Devi, beautiful is the Asoka Vanam; Beautiful is the poem; beautiful is the kapi Hanuman; Beautiful is the mantra; what is not beautiful in Sundara Kandam?
Important sargas in Ramayana starts with the Sanskrit dhatu “TAT”.
As well Sundara Kanda also starts with TAT.
“Tato ravana neetaya seetayaah satru karsanaha
iyesha padamanvestum charana charite padihi “… is the first slokam in Sundara kanda.
Here valmiki never explained about hanuma as satru samharaka, the destroyer of enemies.
But here Valmiki calls Hanuma as Satru karshana, the destroyer of the enemies named “Arishadvargas”(Kama – Krodha – Lobha – Moha – Mada – Matsarya”.
Yes, infact these are the enemies which always make everyone as a slave of them. But Swami Hanuma destroyed them.
The letter VA is taken from the 12th letter of Gayatri Maha Mantra.
Bharga, one of the astamurthy of Lord Siva is the adhistana daiva for VA in Gayatri Mantra.
Hanuma finds Seeta in the Ashoka Vanam of kanchana lanka on the top of Trikutaachalam.
As we all know, trikuta means ” Vagbhava, Kamaraja and Sakthi” Kutamis.
Means Lalita Mata is the only one who resides on Trikuta.
Indirectly Valmiki indicates that Seeta is none other than Lalita.
There are many more hidden secrets in Sundara Kanda.
“Jaya Mantram, Hanuman raksha mantram(twamasmin..), all these mantras were embeded in Sundara Kanda..”
Read Sundara Kanda… Jai Bhajaranga bali – Hanuman Mathaji
