Chinni Paati - Part 4 - sundara kANDam

Today (25th June, 2026 in India), my mother's first maasikams got over. A  lot of good things happened today by God's grace, particularly Lord Hanuman's. Vidya and I recited the shloka "अपराजित पिंगाक्ष नमस्ते रामपूजित" which Triplicane Periyava has advised for daily recitation (336 times daily). 

Before my mother passed away, I had started reciting Sundara Kandam with a plan to complete it in 9 days, but that didn't happen. So, by His grace, I hope to restart the parayanam and complete it as soon as possible.  Amma was very fond of Sundara Kandam, and had several parayanam books, all of which she read regularly. The one I plan to read (in addition to the Valmiki Ramayanam [samskritam] version) while I am here, and Sriram wants to keep is the one below

I also found the beautiful book below titled "ஸ்ரீ ராம புஜங்க அஷ்டக ஸ்தோத்திரமும்  ஸ்ரீ ஹநுமதஷ்டகமும்" which I liked very much, and scanned, because I think it should go to Sriram. I post the scans and a compiled PDF below

PDF version.

In past years, I have saved and played many videos on Sunadarakandam for Amma, including 

• the harikatha by Smt. Vishakha Hari
  
  
  
• the set by Chaganti Koteerwara Rao gaaru 
  
  
• but the one I sent Mami to play for her most recently, just before she passed away, and which I think was among the last videos she listened to are the ones below

Sundara Kanda by M.S.Rama Rao  | సుందర కాండ 

and the Hanuman Chalisa | M.S. Rama Rao

We played both of these today and concluded with the beautiful Hanuman Chalisa by Kum. Sooryagayathri 

May Lord Hanuman always protect us, along with Lord Sita Rama.
