[Giraldo Allain]

Inthe Sundara Kanda, or 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 Kanda?

Sundara Kanda is the only chapter of the Ramayana in which the hero is not Rama, but rather Hanuman. Hanuman's selflessness, strength, and devotion to Rama are emphasized in the text. Hanuman was fondly called Sundar by his mother Anjani and Sage Valmiki chose this name over others as this kand deals mainly with Hanuman's journey to Lanka

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.

Some scholars think that some Sargas of Ayodhya Kanda were separated and together with some interpolated Sargas like Viswamitra story (16 Sargas), Ganga, Sagara, stories (15 Sargas), etc, a new Kanda with the name Baala Kanda was formed. this issue is debatable. Let us leave it for the time being.

If Valmiki Bhagwan wanted to tell the beauty of Sri lanka, He should have named it as Lanka Kandam. Coz when things happened in ayodhya is called as Ayodhya kandam and Kiskintha is called as kiskintha kandam, y not lanka as lanka kandam.

The characters are so beautiful in it as said by valmiki. Apart from that, when lava and kusa sang ramayana, after kiskintha kandam, they read the title as Hanumantha Kandam. when hanuman heard it, he stopped and objected for the title. He said rama katha should praise only sri rama and sita. when valmiki said without hanuman, rama couldnt have find sita. Hanuman said, without Rama, i couldnt have strength to move and their discussion moves on. Valmiki stopped and thought for a while. He named it as sundara kandam. He said Rama is beautiful, sita is beautiful and so on. Hanuman was so much happy.

After the songs are over, hanuman went to his home. seeing his son after very long time, anjana called him Sundaraaaaa, how r u?. Hanuman stunned for a while and asked his mom why she called so. Anjana said, before his birth, Lord shiva said that we will get a beautiful (sundara) baby. When the baby was born, ofcourse he was so beautiful. before they name him as maruti, they called him as sundara. Valmiki, knew abt this, named the kandam as Sundara Kandam.
