Esther Chilton’s writing prompt this week is faith. Faith is something close to my heart and here it is.

I have always been religious but the faith gets tested so many times.  It is my second attempt at learning Sundara Kandam. A section of the epic Ramayana. I am attending a class learning meaning and the class does have some in depth analysis with multiple references.

This has definitely made me more emgrossed in it.

The study of Sundara kandam is recommended for people who are experiencing problems in life and reading it brings positivity . In the thirteenth chapter Hanuman who is in Lanka in search of Sita was feeling dejected. The entire chapter goes in a way he think what bad would happen if he returns empty hamded and his mind turns into committing suicide. Then there are some powerful prayers he does which makes him leave that decision and continue his search. 

Yes, there are days I want to throw in the towel or feel bad about so many things and I have found reading this chapter helps me. I really become fresh and move on with my activities for the day. Faith can move mountains and I think it is true here for me. Are there any scientific research on my experience? I don’t think that matters. Faith can’t be put under analysis and all scientific rules. 😊
