In Hindu Dharma, devotees worship the Sun or the Surya Devta for blessing them with an infinite source of light and heat. There wouldn’t be life without these on the Earth. And hence, anything that helps growth becomes a key contributor.
In the case of the Sun, the morning begins with its rise on the horizon. Devotees dedicate Sundays or Ravi-Vaar to the worship of the Lord Surya. Interestingly, the term Ravi from Ravi-Vaar is an extraction of the Sanskrit word Ravi, another name of the Lord Surya.
For most of us, Sundays are special because we take a break from routine professional life, to unwind and relax with our friends and family. This Sunday, start your day by chanting a Mantra dedicated to the Surya Devta, for not only making your day blissful but also refreshing.
Mantras have a unique intangible power, and when chanted with devotion, your mind and body get infused with positivity. You can chant this Mantra on any of the days during the week, but you can begin the activity on a Sunday to pay ode to the Surya Devta.
Surya Dev is one of the Hindu deities. Surya Dev is considered the life-giver and one who nourishes. Shri Surya Mandala ashtakam is from Aditya Hrudaya. Shri Surya Mandala Ashtakam is a Hymn in praise of God Surya.
Surya Mandala Stotram is also known as Surya Mandala Ashtakam. It is said in the stotra that the Surya Mandala vanishes poverty and sorrow of people’s life. Surya dev is the only Navgraha that is easily visible to the naked eye. Many scriptures uphold his importance as the chief among these nine planets. All life generates from the heat and light of the Sun.
Without Surya, the entire universe would be covered in deep darkness and creation itself wouldn’t have any meaning. According to Vedic Scriptures, Suryadev is the God of light, power, energy and wisdom.
Worshipping the Lord Surya brings strength, mental peace, energy and success in life. Arghya is offered to the Lord Surya both at the time of rising and setting. If the Lord Surya is worshipped then it is said that all kinds of sufferings of a person are destroyed.
