Sun (Surya)

All the lives on earth is dependent on the energy of Sun. It is a symbol of spirit that provides lives to many creatures on the earth. A fruit can not ripe until it get the sunlight. In Hindu Mythology, the Sun or Surya holds a great significance. The followers worships Surya and seek its blessings on every auspicious occasion. They even offer water to the Sun as an attempt to impress the god.

Sun is also worshipped because it provides life, force and energy in Hinduism. In fact, there is a culture of ‘Surya Namaskar’ where people greets the Sun by doing exercise and thanking the god for everything it offers to human.

People believe that the time when Sun enters into any Zodiac Signs is the most auspicious one. They use this time to perform religious activities or start up a new career.

According to Panchang (Hindu Calendar), a solar month ends when the Sun enters from one sign to another. The whole calendar is based on movements of the Sun.

If you go towards the Western Culture, you will find out that the Sun is known as ‘Apollo’ who is a son of planet Jupiter and ‘Latona’.

The Sun also considered as the soul of Kaalapursha. Many call it the King or a dominant star that rules every planet in the system.

Surya represents Lord Brahma and his four faces. Brahma’s four faces are all the four seasons as well as the vital elements (Fire, Air, Earth, Water). Surya provides us with resistance and vitality. It governs our perception and consciousness and strengthens our willpower to make us more resolute and decisive.
