Sundarkand is the fifth kand of Shri Ramcharitmanas, telling of Hanuman Ji's journey to Lanka. Pandit Mohit Tiwari Ji arranges the path with Hanuman pujan, Hanuman Chalisa and aarti, in person in Ujjain or online in your name.
Significance
Sundarkand is the fifth kand of Shri Ramcharitmanas by Goswami Tulsidas, and a similarly named kand appears in Valmiki Ramayana. It narrates Hanuman Ji's leap across the sea, his meeting with Mata Sita in Lanka and his return with her message. Many devotees see in it a story of courage, humility and unwavering faith.
Families recite Sundarkand on Tuesdays and Saturdays, at the start of a new home or work, before a journey or in a time of worry. It is traditionally believed to bring the calm that comes from remembering Hanuman Ji, the one who dispels fear.
Ujjain is a city of many Hanuman shrines and of daily bhajan on the ghats. Pandit Mohit Tiwari Ji recites the path with Ramcharitmanas chaupais and conducts Hanuman pujan, Hanuman Chalisa and aarti. Devotees may ask for blessings of strength and steady confidence, but no result is promised.

Questions about this pujan
Why is it done on Tuesdays and Saturdays?
These two days are traditionally dedicated to Hanuman Ji, so devotees prefer them. The path can, however, be recited on any day.
Can we sing along as a family?
Yes, in person or on the live link. Families often join the chaupais and the Hanuman Chalisa together.
Is any prior preparation required?
Only a clean mind and, if you wish, a light fast. For online participation, keep a diya and a picture of Hanuman Ji ready. Guruji shares simple instructions.
