With the profound objective of awakening unwavering devotion, instilling inner strength, and guiding seekers towards the realization of their true spiritual potential, a divine ‘Sunderkand Katha’ was organized in Panchkula, Haryana on 14th March 2026 by DJJS Chandigarh. This sacred discourse aimed to illuminate the path of devotion, courage and surrender as exemplified by Lord Hanuman, inspiring individuals to overcome life’s challenges through faith and Guru-guided wisdom.
The event witnessed the enthusiastic participation of devotees from all walks of life and spiritual aspirants each drawn by the magnetic pull of Lord Hanuman’s unwavering devotion and the promise of inner peace. The spiritually charged discourse was eloquently delivered by the revered orator, Sadhvi Vaishnavi Bharti Ji, a disciple of Divya Guru Shri Ashutosh Maharaj Ji (Founder & Head, DJJS). The Katha was interspersed with soulful bhajans and devotional chants, which elevated the spiritual fervour of the gathering. As the atmosphere resonated with the holy chants of Lord Ram’s name, devotees were immersed in the timeless essence of ‘Sunderkand’, experiencing both spiritual upliftment and inner transformation.
Sadhvi Ji explained that ‘Sunderkand’, a pivotal chapter of the Ramcharitmanas, is not merely a narration of Lord Hanuman’s heroic journey to Lanka; rather, it symbolizes the soul’s quest to reunite with the Supreme. Through her profound discourse, Sadhvi Vaishnavi Bharti Ji beautifully elucidated that ‘Sunderkand’ depicts the beauty of unwavering faith, selfless service, and the ultimate victory of devotion over ego. She explained that Hanuman Ji represents the ideal disciple, one who is endowed with immense strength, yet remains rooted in humility. His journey across the ocean signifies the crossing of the turbulent mind, while the discovery of Mata Sita reflects the realization of the lost inner peace within the human soul.
Drawing parallels with contemporary life, Sadhvi Ji emphasized that today’s human struggles be it anxiety, insecurity, or dissatisfaction stem from a disconnection with the divine self. Just as Hanuman Ji needed the reminder of his latent powers from Jambavan, similarly, every individual requires the awakening of their inner consciousness through the grace of a true Guru.
DJJS representative highlighted that merely listening to scriptures is not sufficient; what is essential is the application of their teachings in daily life. A central theme of the discourse revolved around the indispensable role of the Guru. Sadhvi Ji passionately conveyed that just as Hanuman Ji’s actions were guided by the remembrance of Lord Ram, similarly, a seeker’s life finds direction only under the guidance of an enlightened master.
She elaborated that the Guru is not merely a teacher of rituals but a bestower of ‘Brahm Gyan’, the divine knowledge that enables one to experience God within. Without this experiential knowledge, devotion remains incomplete and superficial. Sadhvi Ji explained that Hanuman Ji’s strength did not merely lie in his physical prowess but in his constant awareness of the divine presence within him.
Similarly, ‘Brahm Gyan’ empowers a devotee to establish a direct connection with God, transforming mechanical prayers into heartfelt devotion. It bridges the gap between the seeker and the sought, making spirituality a living experience rather than a theoretical concept.
To conclude, Sadhvi Ji urged the devotees to embody the virtues of Hanuman Ji in their daily lives, serve selflessly without expectation, and remain fearless in the face of challenges. She beautifully stated that true devotion is not confined to temples or rituals; it is reflected in one’s conduct, compassion, and commitment to righteousness.
Verily, the ‘Sunderkand Katha’ at Panchkula stood as a beacon of spiritual light, reminding that the true essence of Sunderkand lies in awakening the ‘Hanuman’ within us.
