In the Ramayana, there are six parts of the bal gandam, ayōtyā gandam, kiṣkintā gandam, Sundara gandam, war. Among the gandams, Sundara gandam is very famous.
Sundaram means beautiful. This is the phase in which Hanuman succeeded in finding Seetha for Rama.
Hanuman is the best of the Rama
devotee, quoted by Rama himself. He has dedicated himself to the service of
Rama.
In this phase, Seetha listens to the
good news that the 'winning man Rama is coming to the Ashoka van to fetch her'
through Hanuman and feels peace in mind. This is also the phase where the Pride
of the Lord Hanuman is proven after letting the entire Lanka reigned by Ravana
in the fire with his tail.
Ramayana is not just the legend. For
years, there have been many shreds of evidence uncovered strengthening the
religious belief immensely. Ashoka Vatika, the then Ashoka van is situated in
the island country of Sri Lanka.
The place is a garden of great beauty
and a site of great mythical importance. The instances and mention of the Ashok
Vatika are found in the legendary epic of Hindu mythology the Ramayana. The
mention of Ashok Vatika is not only there in the Ramayana but also in Vishnu
Purana and other various versions of Rama tales by different authors over the
timeline of Indian literature. It is spiritual and divine to feel standing at
that place where once Hanuman, Seetha, and Rama lived and had their days. It’s
worth the while to visit there once in our lifetime.
Jai Sree Ram
