Sundara Gaandam

Indha postla Sundara Gaandam la enaku pudicha sila vishayangala solla poren. Ellaarum Sundara Gaandam pathi kelvi patrupeenga nu nenaikaren. But still for those who don’t know, Ramayanam a 7 part aa pirichirkaanga.
Bala Gaandam- Describing the childhood days of Lord Rama
Ayodhya Gaandam- Rama as Prince of Ayodhya, helping Vishwamitra with his Yagna and marrying Seetha
Aaranya Gaandam-Rama, along with Seetha and Lakshmana goes on 14 yrs vanavaasam and Ravana takes Seetha to Lanka
Kishkintha Gaandam- Rama meets Sugriva,Anjaneya and helps Sugriva to be crowned as King of Kishkindha by killing Vali and in turn Sugriva agrees to help Rama find Seetha
Sundara Gaandam- Lord Anjaneya goes in search of Seetha to Lanka, finds her, warns Ravana, tells Rama the good news of finding seetha
Yudha Gaandam- Rama kills Ravana and the Pattabishekam of Rama as King of Ayodhya
Utthara Gaandam- Story of Rama’s sons(have no clear idea abt this)

Out of all these, my favourite is Sundara Gaandam. Anjaneyar seethai ya thedi kadala thaandi Lankai ku povaaru.Anga poi thedi Seethai ya kandupudichi avangalayum thethitu, Ravanan oda balam enna nu therinjitu, avara warn pannitu, lankaiya erichitu thirumbi poi Ramar kitta “Kanden Seethaiyai” nu solli avarayum sandhosha paduthuvaar.

First thing I like about it is Lord Anjaneya’s commitment to the work assigned to him. Avar endha kaaryathukaaga poraaro adhu neraiverarthuku munnaadi thirumbi vara koodaadhu. Adhu neraivera varaikum engayum rest eduka koodaadhu. Tempt aaga neriyaa vishyam irundhum avar adhai sattaiye panna maataar.

Next thing is his presence of mind and sensible thinking at all stages which brought immense happiness to everyone. Modhalla Lanka la poi erangum bothu evening time. Odane he feels that he shouldn’t go at this time as he might get spotted and all his efforts would be futile. So he waits till the night. Adhu mattum illaama, romba chinna roobathula ulla enter panraaru so that he is not spotted by anyone.Best part is when he decides to talk to seetha. Already seetha va andha raakshasigalum ravananum serndhu bayamurthi vechirkaanga. Adhula ivarum seetha kitta sudden aa poi enna pesinaalum keka maataanga. Adhuvum avarodadhu manushya roobamum illa, so sure aa bayapaduvaanga. So avar oru marathula maranji irupaar. Ingendhe seethai ku piriyamaana Ramaroda past pathi sonna avangaluku nambikai varum. Adhuku approm avanga munnaadi polaam nu seivaaru and it will prove fruitful. In fact this act will save Seetha from committing suicide as she would be on the verge of extreme frustration.

Seetha va pathi solliye aaganum. Indha gaandam la thaan avangaloda full perumaiyum paakalaam. Anjaneyar Ravananoda aranmanaila thedi pogum bothu there will be description of what all luxuries they have. Food lendhu, dress, cosmetics,other assets, adha thavira he is the King of Lanka and avar nenacha anna venaalum kadaikum. Avar nenacha evlo azhagaana roobam venaalum edukalaaam. Seethai ya patta maharishi aa aakaren nu vera Raavanan solvaaru. Ivlo vishayam irundhum Seethai oru kizhinja vasthratha potundu oru alangaaramum illaama, ashoka vanathula Raamaraye nenachitu eppo avaroda seruveno nra ore ennathoda irupaanga. Raavanan varum bothu seethai, avalo kooni kurugi utkaandhirupaanga,covering herself(purushana thavira vera oruthan avala endha vidhathulayum paaka koodaadhu nu) .Chance e illa. Ippo laam paatheenga naa kalyaanam aanavangale short skirt, short top, sleeveless nu ennanamo pottu varaanga. I was seriously amazed at her and respect her for her “padhi viradhaa dharmam”.

Innuru pudicha part of Sundara Gaandam is when Anjaneya is searching for Seetha in Ravana’s aranmanai, avaroda andhapurathula(where Ravana’s wives stay) nozhaivaaru. Anga Ravananoda wives ovvoru range la thoongitrupaanga..ellaarum sooooo beautiful and aadai velagirkardha kooda kandukaama thoongitrupaanga..aana anjaneyar avar vandha velai anga seethaiya thedradhu..anga avanga iruka maataanga so vella vandhuduvaar theditu…manasula endha sanjalamum irukaadhu..in fact varutha paduvaar..maatraan manaivi thoongum bothu paathutome nu. Approm avare thethipaaru saying that ladies irukara edathula thaana seethaiya theda mudiyum nu.I just love this part.

Innunu ennanaa Ramar adayaalathukaaga kudutha choodaamani ya Seethai ku Anjaneyar mela nambikai vandhona thaan kudupaaru. Because modhallaye kuduthu, bayathula thooki potaanganaa kashtam la. Adhe maadhiri avaroda modesty. Seethai kepaanga nee oru balasaali. Adhanaala onnaala indha kadal a thaandi inga vara mudinjidhu. Epdi mathavangalaam varuvaanga nu. He’ll say, enna maadhiri oru thoodhane indha lankai ku vara mudinjaa, mathavangalaam romba easy aa vara mudiyum nu(the truth is that, except for four of them no one else in the vaanara kootam can cross the ocean).

Adhe maadhiri thirumbi vandhu, avar poytu vandha vridhaanthatha matha friends kittayum solvaaru, ramar kittayum solvaaru. Aana the difference is that Ramar kitta sollum bothu, he will concentrate on what Seetha said more than how he found her..aana friends kitta sollum bothu avar sandai pottadha pathi,kadala eppdi thaandinaaru adha pathi neriyaa solluvaar. Yaar yaaruku edhu mukhiyamo adha correctaa solluvaaru.

I think I have listed some of my favourite parts of Sundara Gaandam. I read it every weekend(thanks to my dad, I got the habit from him).

P.S: Many of u might feel(even I feel) that indha post tamil la type pannirndha innum better aa irundhurkum but tamil la naa type panna there will be lot of spelling mistakes. Adhaan try panla. So kindly adjust.
