Overview
Sundarkand Path for families in Shamshabad
Sundarkand Path is the recitation of Sundarkand, the fifth book of Goswami Tulsidas's Ramcharitmanas, which describes Hanuman's leap across the ocean, his search for Sita in Lanka, his meeting with her in the Ashok Vatika and his return to Shri Rama with news of her. It is a chapter of courage, devotion and hope.
Shamshabad lies on the southern edge of Hyderabad, best known as the location of Rajiv Gandhi International Airport. Once a small town on the Bengaluru highway, it now has new residential layouts, apartment projects, farmhouses and hotels serving travellers.
मनोजवं मारुततुल्यवेगं जितेन्द्रियं बुद्धिमतां वरिष्ठम्।
वातात्मजं वानरयूथमुख्यं श्रीरामदूतं शरणं प्रपद्ये॥
Manojavaṁ mārutatulyavegaṁ jitendriyaṁ buddhimatāṁ variṣṭham, vātātmajaṁ vānarayūthamukhyaṁ śrīrāmadūtaṁ śaraṇaṁ prapadye.
Planning your puja in Shamshabad
If you are flying in or out, share your flight timings so the ritual can be planned with enough buffer.
The ORR and airport road are usually quick, but allow extra time for Pandits coming from the city.
Farmhouses and open plots suit homams; arrange shade, seating and water.
Share a pinned location, as newer layouts and farmhouses can be hard to find.
Hotels usually restrict open flames, check with the hotel before planning a homam there.
A full path takes about two and a half to three hours; plan dinner or prasad for guests afterwards.
Share how many people will join so the Pandit can bring enough copies of the path.
