The temple erupted in Kirtan, dancing and joyous cries of Krishna’s holy names as devotees celebrated the divine appearance of the Lord.

🚩 The beauty of Sundar Kand is not that Hanumanji encounters no obstacles. It is that no obstacle becomes greater than his remembrance of Prabhu Shree Ram.

The ocean is vast. Lanka is unknown. Mata Sita must be found. Yet Hanumanji’s consciousness remains fixed on one thought: this is the work of my Prabhu.

And therein lies the secret of his extraordinary strength.

When the heart belongs completely to Prabhu Shree Ram, fear loses its hold, difficulties become opportunities for seva, and even the impossible can be crossed.

Perhaps this is why devotees have turned to Sundar Kand for generations. We hear of Hanumanji’s extraordinary strength, but discover its true source: his unwavering love and complete surrender to Prabhu Shree Ram.

🌺 रामहि केवल प्रेमु पिआरा।
Prabhu Shree Ram cherishes only love.

Join us this evening as we come together in satsang for the sacred recitation of Sundar Kand.

🚩 Jai Shree Ram • Jai Hanuman 🙏
