“Rigveda declares that ‘Surya is the soul, both of moving and unmoving beings. Sun salutations, that is series of prostrations to Sun performed at dawn and dusk facing the rising Sun brings you divinity, wealth, health, position and ultimately Moksha.” Those who want to have health, knowledge, wealth and good life should worship Sun irrespective of caste, creed, age and gender.

A deep dive into Indian sages profound philosophical comprehension, modes of worship, divine teachings, and vast literature of scriptures, treatises, hymns, and mantras reveal that ‘Sun’ i.e. Aditya is the epicenter of this gigantic spectrum of Sanatana Dharma. At a physical level, Sun is a blazing inferno.

Scientifically, He is the primary source of direct and indirect energy and nerve center of all the life in all creatures. But, scriptures describe Aditya as the effulgent supreme light i.e. ‘Supreme Parabrahman’. Many creatures originate deriving their life from Sun. Hence, He is termed as ‘Brahma’. Because of His expansive nature, He radiates brilliant light spreading energy all around. So, He is known as ‘Vishnu’. He is also called ‘Rudra’, because He torments with His tremendous heat. He is known as ‘Siva’, the auspicious one.
