Sundarakanda – Pocket Edition A6

Summary

Sundara-kāṇḍa, the fifth section/canto of Śrīmad Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa of Bhagavān Vālmīki, shines as a beacon of eternal light. Within its 2800 verses lies enshrined, many an invaluable lesson, personified in the one perfected soul – Hanumān. Hanumān, the protagonist of the Sundara-kāṇḍa, is a paradigmatic Bhakta (devotee), model emissary, warrior redoubtable, saviour supreme, preceptor peerless, and scourge paramount. Every endeavour Hanuman engaged in was profundity incarnate. Consequently, is this section of Śrīmad Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa named ‘Sundara-kāṇḍa;’ the term Sundara meaning beautiful/right. Hanumān of the Sundara-kāṇḍa exemplifies ‘Perfect Perfection.’

Our Editorial Philosophy

Vedic Cosmos has a panel of prominent Sanskrit scholars from different philosophical schools, such as Dvaita, Advaita and Viśiṣṭhadvaita, who are well versed in Sanskrit literature, Agamas, Dharma-śāstras, Purāṇas & Itihāsas, Nyāya, Vyākaraṇa, linguistics etc. We with our board of editors and researchers carry out an in-depth analytical and editorial research for all the editions that we publish. As such, we do not follow a particular school of thought or philosophy. We rather take into account various commentaries belonging to the different schools of thought and present the content in our books from an authentic, non-sectarian standpoint.

Our ancient seers and sages have preserved the treasure of transcendental knowledge of sacred scriptures for generations, which are available to us even today. Our mission is to provide the future generation with the authentic interpretation of these scriptures without losing their true essence. We therefore give the credit of authorship to the original revealers of these sacred texts such as Maharṣi Vyāsa/Maharṣi Vālmīki and not to any individual or translators.
