Sundara Kãnda: Hanuman's Odyssey

WhileMahabharata's Bhagvad-Gita is taken as a philosophical guide, Ramayana's Sundara Kãnda is sought for spiritual solace; many believe that reading Sundara Kãnda or hearing it recited would remove all hurdles and usher in good tidings!
Miracles apart, it's in the nature of Sundara Kãnda to inculcate fortitude and generate hope in man for it’s a depiction of how Hanuman goes about his errand against all odds.
Besides, it portrays how Seetha, on the verge of self-immolation, overcomes despair to see life in a new light?
With rhythm of its verse and the flow of the narrative this sloka to sloka transcreation of the canto beautiful of Valmiki's adi kavya - the foremost poetical composition in the world, Hanuman's Odyssey that paves the way for Rama to rescue his kidnapped wife is bound to charm the readers and listeners alike.
Interestingly, as the following verse illustrates, it was the forerunner of the magic realism of our times – “Gripped she then him by shadow / Cast which Hanuman coast to coast, Recalled he in dismay then / What Sugreev said at outset / That one fiend had aptitude / To grip its prey by mere shadow.”
On a personal note, my paternal grandfather, Bulusu Thimmaiah-garu, like many in his time, was a life-long practitioner of Sundara Kãnda parayana (the epic’s daily recital in part or full), whose spirituality could have providentially guided me in this, rather an effortless, trans-creative endeavour.

Most of you might have come across this name Shravan Kumar when you were growing up. Especially if you have seen the Ramayana episode then there will be an episode on Shravan Kumar.
Well if you have not heard this name then don't worry, I will give you a very small brief introduction about Shravan Kumar and why he is relevant in the chapters ahead.
This book is not about repeating what is already written in the history but to awaken you to the reality of what history has missed.
India has a rich and grand history but there is a great discovery that has gone unnoticed in every story that we read from the history of this great country.
The story of Shravan Kumar is also one such classical example and in this book you will have the privilege of noticing the unnoticed. [more]

I visualize
in every YES, NO, WISH and CONFUSION
His visage with glowing beams
and mocking grins.
