We have to worship SUN for perfect health. Worshipping SUN also

gives us the effect of worshiping Sri Maha Vishnu as SUN is the

PRATYAKSHA NARAYANA SWARUPA. Worshipping SUN also gives us the

effect of worshipping the Goddess GAYATRI.

 

The SUN in male form is called as SAVITRU or SURYA and in female form

as SAVITRI. He is also called as SAVITA in nutral form. He

is 'trigunatmaka' and 'Trimurti swrupa' also. As such worshipping

SUN amounts to the worshipping of TRIMURTI i.e. Brhama, Vishnu and

Maheswara,in which the upasaka shall make a way for his eternal goal.

 

If any one wants to perform Puja, he has to go to a temple of

particuler daity and he has to take strain to see the Lord or Goddess

waiting in a que for his turn duly spending money to offer flowers

and fruits etc.

 

" Alankara priyo vishnuhu Abhisheka priya ssivaha " In worshipping

VISHNU the devotee has to spend money for decoration of Lord and in

worshipping Lord Siva he has to take strain to get water for

ABHISHEKAM etc., But the devotee need not take strain to go to a

temple nor spend money in worshipping SURYA (SUN). The SUN shall be

happy by a simple action such as offering PRANAMS whole heartedly by

his devotee.That's why the SUN is called as NAMASKARA PRIYO BHANUHU.

 

Any day when the SURYA is not visable due to clouds etc., that day

is called as DURDINA (very bad day) as SURYA is 'lokabandhava'

(related to each and every one)

 

Only two persons are eligible to cross SURYALOKA after their death

enroute to their destination MOKSHA. The first person is YOGI and the

next person is the soldier who died in battle field duly fighting

with his enemy.

 

There are several names to Lord SURYA as Dyumani etc., But only

twelve names are prominent and those names are considered highly

importent in SURYA UPASANA.

 

1. MITRA

2. RAVI

3. SURYA

4. BHANU

5. KHAGA

6. PUSHA

7. HIRANYA GARBHA

8. MAREECHI

9. AADITYA

10.SAVITRU

11.ARKA

12.BHASKARA

 

When Lord SRI RAMA was tired in the battle with Ravana, the great

Maharshi " AGASTYA " came to Lord Sri Rama and asked him to worship the

Lord SUN by AADITYA HRUDAYAM. Then Srirama worshipped SUN and got victory over

Ravana. The Storam " AADITYA HRUDAYAM " is capable to give victory to those who

strive even today.

 

The SUN may showers His blessings on all of us.
