Sunderkand,The Healing Therapy- Discover Its Transformative Power
Feeling lost or burdened with problems or plunging into the quagmire of anxiety, its a situation where you are not the only one. We all go through such phases in life – not once but several times. Life can be overwhelming. But ancient Indian wisdom offers something timeless and healing through the holy and pious Sunderkand.
This is not just a religious text. It is a healing therapy, especially when nothing else seems to work.
What is Sunderkand?
Sunderkand is the 5th chapter of our great holy scripture – Sri Ramcharitmanas by Sri Gosawami Tulsidas. It’s a true story of Lord Hanuman’s journey to Lanka in search of Mata Sita. But it’s more than that — a symbolic quest of courage, faith, devotion, clarity, and divine guidance. Every verse is said to have vibrations that cleanse the mind, melt fear, and empower the soul.
In Sanskrit, Sunder means “beautiful” and Kand means “section.” This section is “beautiful” not only in language but in the way it changes your mental and emotional state.
How Sunderkand acts as healing therapy?
- Vibrational healing: Chanting, reading, or listening to Sunderkand creates a high-vibrational sound field. These vibrations calm the nervous system and uplift mood, working almost like sound therapy.
- Emotional cleansing: People going through depression, anxiety, heartbreak, or grief often find comfort in Lord Hanuman’s strength. His courage becomes your own, helping you sail through turbulent times.
- Mental clarity: The repetition of verses creates focus. If your mind feels scattered or you’re caught in overthinking, Sunderkand works like a gentle mental detox.
- Faith activation: Healing requires faith. Lord Hanuman’s revered devotion to Lord Rama awakens a sense of purpose and surrender, helping you trust the process of life again.
- Energetic protection: It’s widely believed that regular recitation removes negative energy, black magic, and bad luck, surrounding you with divine protection.
Real-Life Experience: A Story
Rita (name changed), a corporate executive in her late 30s, faced intense stress after a family loss and work burnout. Therapy helped a little, but didn’t bring peace. I, as an astrologer, recommended reciting Sunderkand every Tuesday and Saturday. Within a few weeks, Rita found herself feeling lighter, sleeping better, and more hopeful. The text gave her inner strength she never knew she had.
This is not an isolated story. Many people across generations use it for solace during difficult times or just as a part of daily routine worship for strength and power.
How to Start Reading Sunderkand for Healing
- Choose a time: Early morning or evening is ideal.
- Listen or Recite: Start with audio if you’re new.
- Set an intention: Before reading, perform puja of Lord Hanuman and Sri Ram Darbar, offer prasad, flowers, dhoop and incense sticks. Start with a prayer or request to the Lord for healing.
- Be consistent: Do it weekly or even daily if possible.
- Offer gratitude: Always close with a prayer of thanks and Hanuman aarti and Ram Lalla aarti (available on Spotify/YouTube) or you can just use an Aarti collection book.
Conclusion
Sundarkand isn’t just a holy chapter. It’s a spiritual lifeline. In times of stress, fear, or hopelessness, it reconnects you to your strength, your purpose, and your peace.
