Of the six sections of the Ramayana, the present volume comprises the fifth. Consisting as it does of 2885 Sanskrit verses, the Sundarakandam deals with the heroic exploits of Hanuman in one day and night, during which he crossed over to Sri Lanka, discovered Sita, inflicted crushing defeat on Rakshasa forces, set fire to Lanka and flew back to convey the news of Sita to Rama. Text in Sanskrit with English translation.
The less passion there is, the better we work. The calmer we are, the better for us and the more the amount of work we can do. When we let loose our feelings, we waste so much energy, shatter our nerves, disturb our minds, and accomplish very little work.
-Swami Vivekananda
