SURYA SADHANA

The whole life system on this earth survives due to the vital life energy of the Sun, called Surya dev in Indian scriptures.In fact,sun is a manifestation of the Ultimate power,the Param Brahm and is a unique confluence of divine powers and radiance which is capable of making a person total in respect of all four essential aspects of life i.e - Dharma (Righteousness),Arth(Wealth),Kaam (Pleasures) and Moksh (Salvation).All living beings whether Gods,humans,animals,microorganisms or plants,depend on the energy from the sun in order to subsist.All the realms of this solar system exist and thrive due to the energy received from it.Hence the sun is an incomparable source of vital energy.

In the Padm Puran,it has been expounded that a person is absolved of all sins by the Darshan or the glimpse of Surya Dev at the time of sunrise,and he can attain salvation by worshipping the Sun.Brahmins while carrying out Sandhya(morning and evening prayers) raise their hands and thus worship Sun.

It is said that a sinful person becomes pious just by the contact of the sunrays with his body.A person can even get rid of all diseases by worshipping Sun.Many great boons are obtained from the Sun because although one cannot have the Darshan of Lord Vishnu,Shiva and other Gods so easily,every life form
can see the sun.

History of India reveals that much stress has always been laid on the worship of Sun and several temples have been raised in his honour.Even in other countries sun has been worshiped for ages.Temples of sun have been found in Iran,Afghanistan,Egypt,Greece and many other countries.


Among the nine planets in Astrology sun is the most important.Sadhana of Sun promises fame,respect,power and success to the Sadhak.

Before commencing the sadhana procure a Divya Surya Yantra.On any Sunday get up in the Brahm Muhurat (4.30 am to 6 am)and go upto your terrace or to some open space where you can see the sun rising.You should arrange for sweets and fruit, a bananaleaf,red sandalwood paste,vermilion and flowers

Wash the sadhana place.Lay down the Banana leaf on the floor and on it draw a circle with vermilion,and place Surya Yantra in the circle.Apply a mark of red sandalwood paste on the Yantra and offer sweets,fruit and flowers before it.

Fold your hands and bow down before the sun and pray to him

"O lord! You are pure,sacred and the preserver of the whole world.You are the life force present in all life forms and you are the protector of all life on this earth.You are vanquisher of all ailments,diseases,darkness,sorrows and poverty.You are the best friend in this world and you always keep a vigilant eye on all life in this solar system.Hence O Lord! Please vanquish all diseases present in my body and bless me with a healthy life"

Then Chant the following Divya surya mantra 108 times with a Sfatik mala,sitting before the Yantra,facing the morning Sun.

Mantra  : OM GHRINNIM SURYA PHAT

Now offer water to Sun god.The right way to do this is to take water in a copper tumbler and stand facing the rising sun.Then slowly pour out the water onto the ground before you,with your eyes directed at the Sun.After this, pick up the Yantra and touch it to the disease-affected parts of your body.

Continue this practice every day till next Sunday.If you cannot do the sadhana in open place you can do it in a sacred place inside your house.

Before starting the sadhana,worship Guru and chant atleast one mala of Guru mantra.The water offered to Sun god should contain the following articles. Ganga water or pure water,honey,unbroken rice grains,red sandalwood paste,milk,curd and a red flower.
