Mr. Manasvi Thakkar was appointed a representative for booking, promoting and propagating Sunderkand at Baroda.Mr. Thakkar use to regularly visit Baroda for Sunderkand and under his guidance the mission got blossomed.
Formation of team:
A team of likeminded Hanuman follower was formed.
|
Development of Cassette/CD Sunderkand path
|
|
Although the team was formed, the awareness was developed but the recitation was a problem. Those days there were few recieter and our recieter wasgetting booked for the year. So Mr. Thakkar developed a concept of “CASSETTE PAATH”. As per this, the team accumulated some fund and purchased:
1) A CD/DVD player
2) A sound system.
3) Books of Sunderkand as a stock.
4) Dipak, ghee, prasdam.
5) SEVA having Hanumanji and Ram Darbar photo.
The team would undertake “Sunderkand Recitation” at the Host‘s premises by playing it on CD. The condition was it was Free of Cost but the host will have to call the neighbors, sit in front of Hanumanji and read Sunderkand while it is being played on the DVD player. To make it more effective Mr. Thakkar introduced a system of keeping mum during the first verse of Sunderkand and speak loud during the second verse ( Mr. Thakkar started recitation). As a result there was tremendous involvement and people started getting the effect of mental peace. At the end of Sunderkand Paath Mr. Thakkar would explain one Doha in Gujarati, its meaning and benefits.
Resultantly more and more CD path started booking in and around Baroda.
(TODAY THERE MUST BE ATLEAST 50 SUCH NUKKAD PAATH GOING ON IN BARODA EVERY TUESDAY AND SATURDAYS)

Arranging Sunderkand path at Salangpur
|
|
Mr. Thakkar always dreamt of undertaking path in front of Salangpur Baba, so on the occasion of his father’s 25th death anniversary, he planned a Sunderkand Paath (Reciter Ashwin Paathak)at Salangpur taking about 800 satsangis from Baroda, Ahmedbad and Mumbai all sponsored by him.
Resultantly more and more bookings came surprisingly from Mumbai also.
|
|
Promoting more and more reciters
|
|
It was in the year 2005 when one fine morning during meditation Mr. Thakkar got a signal to do something to increase the number of recieter or start recitation on his own. As Mr. Thakkar was already employed involving the trip outside city, hence it was ruled out. He thought of promoting someone. Mr. Dhavalkumar Chudsama who was playing Tabla with recieter Ashwin Pathak, was very young and wanted to make a career in Sunderkand whereby he can meet financial needs of the family. He was studying in 10th standard and was not interested in studying further. He hailed from a very low income family –father having a roadside cart of ‘Dhokla’.
Mr. Thakkar motivated him first for studying further and helped him in all aspects. (Later Dhaval went on to complete BA (Sanskrit) with First class, MA gold medalist and M.Phil first class with 24x7 support from Mr. Thakkar). Later they decided to commence Sunderkand Recitation at nominal cost + basis to empower Dhaval financially. The team of Baroda joined and group blossomed and Gujarat had one more recieter.
Resultantly we grew to such an extent that we converted our group into a CHARITBLE TRUST in the year 2010. Further now there are about 15 Sunderkand Reciters in Ahmedbad and 20 in Baroda who undertake Sunderkand Recitation in public.

Many First by Mr. Thakkar/Trust
|
|
SUNDERKAND IS A SCIENCE:
|
Mr. Thakkar undertook a study and came out with a startling conclusion on SUNDERKAND
“SUNDERKAND IS A SCIENCE –A PHONETIC SCIENCE”
He started giving presentation in general public and already uploaded on YOU TUBE as
“Scientific Presentation of Sunderkand by Prof Shailesh Thakkar”. He gave presentation in corporate, Colleges etc.
Resultantly young generation and also businessmen started booking and practicing SUNDERKAND |
|
REMOVE WRONG NOTION OF NO MOON DAY (AMAS):
|
|
Mr. Thakkar propagated of Amas being the finest day for doing Aradhana and if Sunderkand is done on Amas it yield maximum benefit and fulfills your wishes as this is the best Aradhana .Full Moon day is also one of the finest day. He and his team would wear black clothes on No moon day and recite Sunderkand in public.
Resultantly young generation and also businessmen started booking and practicing SUNDERKAND. |
|
|
SUNDERKAND IN CEMETARY (Smashan Ghat):
|
|
Mr. Thakkar helped remove superstition of Cemetery of housing ghost. Although it was met with lot of resistance, finally it was highly successful when we did Sunderkand in presence of 7”Agni dah “ ,and a presence of 1500 satsangis (50% ladies).Mr. Thakkar also propagated that hence forth if you come to cemetery for funeral come with a Sunderkand book. Recite Sunderkand. This will not only fasten the “Atma” journey toward “param atma” but also make that Atma pious as Sunderkand has positive vibrations-energy helping the “Atma”-energy to move fast in space. Resultantly more and more Reciters are doing Sunderkand at cemetery.
|
|
SUNDERKND ON THE BANK OF RIVER:
|
|
Mr. Thakkar also propagated that reciting Sunderkand on the bank of river in early morning yield maximum benefit; hence we planned out doing Sunderkand at 5 AM on the bank of river Mahi. The response was tremendous where about 800 satsangis participated. Resultantly more demand have been pouring for doing Sunderkand on the bank of river Narmada and also Ganaga, by self-getting half submerged in the water. |
|
SUNDERKAND KATHA:
|
|
During 2004-2006, there were some reciters developed as an “ART OF SINGING” rather than a spiritual inclination. While everything is a welcome development, the masses did not know the meaning of the verses as it was in a Avadhi language.Mr. Thakkar decided to work out the translation of the verses by referring some books, meeting saints and developed own Granth titled SUNDERKAND MAHATMAY. Luckily we got the sponsorer and a one day SUNDERKAND MAHATMAY and later a 3 day SUNDERKAND KATHA was organized (with a vyaspith of Dhaval)Resultantly, now you will find 50 % of the satsangis reciting Sunderkand without book and many knowing its meaning and enjoying with closed eyes. |
|
SUNDERKAND HAVAN:
|
|
Havan is one of the most effective ways of yielding benefit of any Aradhan. Mr. Thakkar introduced concept of “Sunderkand Havan “in public that too as per individual’s problems. |
|
TO GO FOR WEBSITE:
|
|
With lot of material ready some based on own research and some gathered through referring granths, Mr. Thakkar decided to host a website www.sunderkandsatsangsamuh.org. , the material totally drafted by him. The idea was to look at the future and also the mission, for which adopting technology becomes a mandatory requirement. Further he always wanted young one to get attracted toward Sunderakand who can only be drawn by science and technology and not mere spirituality. Resultantly lot of interaction is taking place with an anxious Hanuman Devotee and the trustees on many matters. |
|
TEAM SUNDERKAND RECEITERS:
|
|
While the reciters themselves might be feeling threaten by new comers in the field of Sunderkand Recitation, Mr. Thakkar is one of the happiest person on earth having contributed to the call of SHREE HANUMANJI. However he does not forget his duty towards them hence he planned out a SUNDERKAND GYANGOSTHI in the year 2012 with sole aim of having harmony and exchange of spiritual knowledge on SUNDERKAND. 19 Reciters participated and it was a grand function. The vision is to have a SUNDRKAND KUTUMB where Mr. Tha kkar would like to be mentor, big brother and the Trust as a fatherly organization. Resultantly, Sunderkand Reciters do not hesitate in moving in each other function. Further when Katiyani channel wanted Sunderkand Recieter for their 108 Sunderkand Abhiyaan ,we not only provided but also coordinated. |
|
BIMONTHLY MAGAZINE “HANUMAT DHARA”:
|
|
Mr. Thakkar always wanted to share whatever little he has on “SUNDERKAND”. To get article published in daily is difficult hence he floated an idea of having a bimonthly “Hanumat Dhara” where he Dhavalkumar and many other writers, writes and the editing work is of Dhavalkumar. Resultantly, there have been many more writers and all recieter feel of getting a platform for sharing views on SUNDERKAND. |
|
SUNDERKAND FOR INDUSTRY/CORPORATES:
|
|
Knowing Sunderkand having tremendous power, Mr. Thakkar thought of helping industry understand the mystical power and help perform better. Examples of having Sunderkand in a Japanese firm “Hitachi” and also a Comed Chemical are few such examples. Mr. Thakkar does power point presentation on..
1) Team Building through Sunderkand
2) Enhance Productivity through Sunderkand
3) Remove roadblocks through Sunderkand
4) Withstand Pressure through Sunderkand The vision is to take the same to college students also to Schools.
|
|
PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL:
|
|
Developing CD/DVD/Blue ray is of course a mandatory need, however Mr. Thakkar thought of unique thing known as a “Memory Card” which can be fitted to mobile and if a person is travelling he can complete Sunderkand Shravanam especially he is not getting time kto sit in front of Baba.Similarly a brochure highlighting the activity is one of unique ideas. For those NRI s who are not well versed with Hindi or even Gujarat, he came out with an idea of having a book in English Sunderkand. |
|
TAKING IT ABROAD:
|
|
In the year 2012 we planned out a trip to Australia (Sydney) and join Ram Mandir’s abhiyaan of doing 108 SUNDERKAND. Mr. Thakkar could make NRIs moved by giving presentation on “The power of Mantras” especially chopais of Sunderkand. The best part was the presence of young couples who thronged in huge numbers. We could also do Sunderkand Havan in groups. |
|
OTHER INITIATIVE FOR PROPOGATING RAMCHARITMANAS
|
|
Mr. Thakkar motivated all for undertaking AKHAN RAMCHARITMANAS .Due support of media and our propaganda we could get 70 participants for AKHAND RAMCHARITMANS which took 24 hours.
Bhajan is one of the media through which propagation can be done. Mr. Thakkar always dreamt of having Bhajan Sandhya in a very organized manner. We could do RAM AND HANUMAN bhajan Sandhya at Ganghinagar Gruh hall with a fullest capacity.
Hanuman Chalisa Mahima and Hanuman Charit are the next activity for the promotion in the coming years. RAMKATHA is always an ultimate activity on a way of propagation. We could to first RamKatha in the year 2013.

Removing misinterpretation of Chopois of Sunderkand
|
|
When some of the recieter tried to twist the interpretation of some chopais especially “DHOL GANVAR…… Mr. Thakkar approached Dwardish Sankrcharya and sought real interpretation to remove wrong spread of Tulsidas Ramcharitmanas.
