* Sun-Worship * It is customary to perform five deities worship (Panchaayatana Pooja) daily among the Hindu houses. Panchaayatana Pooja is a daily worship of five deities viz. Ganesha, Vishhnu, Shiva, Shakti (Durga) and the Sun. The Sun occupies a special status among these five divinities as He is the only deity visible to our naked eyes. The Sun is the center of our solar system, gives life and light to the whole system. Without the Sun there could be no life on the Earth. He gives light, produces day and night and generates time. The Sun bestows power, strength, energy and knowledge on the living beings. The Rig Veda declares the Sun as the soul of both moving and unmoving beings. The Vedas regard the Sun as the witness of all actions. The Sun is glorified in the Vedic hymns as an all-seeing God Who observes both good and evil actions. He expels not only darkness but also evil dreams, diseases and ignorance. The Sun is worshipped for His power, strength and glory. The Sun (Surya) worship (Pooja) is a very popular form of daily ritual in the Hindu culture. As per the Hindu religion, performing Vedic Sun worship and sacrifice (Yagya) are the most effective ways to bring all types of prosperity in our life. The Sun worship is a divine boon for those who face problems, hurdles and misfortune in their life. One should worship the Sun for peace, prosperity, sound health, strength, vigour, courage, knowledge and brilliancy. The Sun worship cures chronic diseases like heart ailment, leprosy, asthma, nervous weakness, tension, anxiety and depression. The Sun worship can solve problems like a decline in name and fame, loss of high position, loss of job/career/property, family conflicts, lack of self-confidence, skin diseases, eye problems, many physical and mental diseases, childlessness etc. Thus the Sun worship brings physical and mental health, happiness, harmony, memory, knowledge, brilliance, fame, prosperity, power, energy and success in our life. The Sun-worship mainly consists of Sun salutation, Sun-devotion (Pooja) and Sandhya ritual. All these limbs of the Sun-worship are explained in detail in three different booklets. They are very simple and anybody of any age (preferably above 15) can follow them without any difficulty.

Sun Salutation : The Sun salutation is a set of 12 Yoga poses. A Sun mantra (incantation) is chanted with each pose. The Sun salutation is known as the mother of all Yogic poses (Yogasana). The Sun salutation is the best among all Yoga poses. It produces miraculous effects on our body and mind. Almost all the benefits of all Yoga poses are derived by the Sun salutation. No special equipments are required to perform the Sun salutation. Anybody can perform the Sun salutation without much effort. It provides complete and systematic exercise to our entire body in just 5 to 10 minutes. Sandhya : Sandhya is the worship of the Sun god performed by the Hindus in the morning, in the afternoon and in the evening. It is a meditation in which one concentrates on the supreme power Sun god. While performing the Sandhya, the Sunrays fall on the practitioners body, which free the body of all ailments and the Ved mantras recited purify the mind. Actually, the Sandhya is an earnest prayer to the Sun god to forgive all sins committed during ones daily actions and attain self-purification, self-improvement and spiritual knowledge. Pranayama performed during the Sandhya improves both physical and mental health. It also relaxes both the body and mind. Sun Devotion (Pooja) : The Sun devotion (Pooja) is an act of showing reverence to the Sun god through various rituals like meditation, invocation, chanting verses (mantra) and offering flowers, water, fruits and food to the deity. The Hindu scriptures lay more stress on devotion than on physical rituals. Actually, the Pooja is a spiritual process for connecting our consciousness with the super consciousness through the medium of an idol or a portrait. While performing the Pooja very strong spiritual vibrations and forces are generated in the surrounding environment. This positive divine energy dispels all negative forces and miseries and brings peace, harmony and prosperity into the devotees life. The Pooja has the power to change the devotees fate or destiny. Sincere and earnest worship and prayer can soothe and avert evil misfortune destined to befall on the devotee. The Pooja cleanses the mind and removes grief and sorrow of life. The Pooja brings spiritual advancement to the devotee. Meditation and mantra(incantation) recitation done during the worship purify and harmonize the body, mind and spirit of the practitioner. Its benefits can permeate all facets of the devotees life and attitude. Similarly the pranayama performed during the Pooja has many physical and mental benefits. It removes stress, tension, anxiety, depression and bestows serenity and tranquility on the practitioner.

* Sun-Worship * - The first step for the worship (Pooja) is to make your home and the Pooja room neat and clean. It is equally important for you to be neat and clean and don fresh clothes. Start the worship in a quiet and placid environment in an unruffled mind. - Sit comfortably on a clean Pooja mat facing east or north or north-east corner either in Padmasana or in Siddhasana. - Begin your worship by reciting Aum ! Shree Ganeshya NamaH. - Keep your spine, neck and head erect and the body balanced. Rest both your wrists on respective knees and assume Gyan Mudra. Close your eyes, take a deep breath and chant long Aauumm smoothly while exhaling. Repeat this for 5 or 11 times. - Sound the bell for 5-10 seconds while chanting the following verse, Aum! Aagamaartham tu Devaanaam gamanaartham cha raakshasaam, Kuru ghante varam naadam Devtaa-sthaan sannidhau. Purport : I ring the bell to invite gods and invoke divinity so that the virtuous and noble forces may enter my home and my heart and the demonic and evil forces depart me and my home. - Lay a fresh red or white cloth on a raised platform and then place a fistful of wheat grains in the center of the cloth. Situate a copper pot on the top of these grains. - Fill three fourth of the pot with pure water. Arrange a bunch of five mango leaves inside the neck of the pot in the shape of a lotus. - Take a husked coconut with some fiber or choir on top and tie a red string around it. Put the coconut on the mouth of the pot vertically. - On the cloth place an idol or portrait of the Sun god in front of the pot. - Decorate the platform with plantain leaves if possible. - Light a lamp filled with pure clarified butter (ghee) and a cotton wick. Place it on your right hand side before the idol. - Light one or two incense sticks and place them on your left hand side before the idol. - Fold your hands in prayer pose, meditate on the lamp and chant , Aum ! Bho deep-dev roop-stawam karma-saakshee hya-vighnakrit, Yaavat-pooja samaapyeta syaat taavat tvam sam-sthiro bhava. Purport : O flame (lamp) deity ! You are the personification of the Sun god (witness of all our acts) and obstacle remover. Please stay here steadily and calmly until we finish our worship and remove all the obstacles that stand in our spiritual path.

Tat-sad Brahmaarpanamastu (We entrust our life unto the Lord and offer our works at His holy feet) - Take some water, flowers and Prasada from the Lord. Note : Prasada is the food offered to the deity and taken by the devotees after the worship is finished. It is the remnants of the food left by the deity. - It is traditional and most uplifting to meditate for a few minutes after the worship, rather than rushing for daily duties. There is great personal benefit in such internalized worship. Visualize that the divine presence of Sun god is now withdrawn back into your heart, and remember that it will remain with you throughout the day.

Please listen to this auspicious Sun shield. This divine shield brings us sound health, grandeur, prosperity and happiness. Dedipyamaan-mukutam sphuran-makar-kundalam, Dhyaatvaa sahastra-kiranam stotra-metad-udeerayet.__(2) Purport : Intone this hymn only after meditating on luminous Lord Sun Who has assumed a lustrous crown on His head and glittering crocodile shaped ear-rings in the ears. Shiro me BhaskaraH paatu lalaatam me-Amit-dyutiH, Netre DinmaniH paatu shravane VaasareswaraH.__(3) Purport : May my head be protected by Bhaskar (bright Sun), forehead by Amitduthi (of infinite splendor). My eyes may be protected by Dinmani (day-jewel Lord Sun) and ears by Vasareshwara (Lord of the day) Ghraanam Dharma-ghriniH paatu vadanam Ved-vaahanaH, jivhaam me MaanadH paatu kantham me SurvanditaH.__(4) Purport : My nose may be protected by Dharmaghrini (Sun of justice) and mouth by Vedvahana (carrying the Vedas). Let my tongue be protected by Maanada (arrogance destroyer) and throat by Survandita (extolled by deities). Skandhau Prabhaakaram paatu vakshaH paatu Jana-priyaH, Paatu paadau Dwadashaatma sarvangam SakaleshwaraH.__(5) Purport : Let my shoulders be protected by Prabhakara (light maker) and bosom by Janapriya (dear to all). My feet may be protected by Dwadashatma (appearing in twelve forms) and the whole body by Sakaleshwara (Lord of the universe). Soorya-rakshaatmakam stotram likhitwaa bhooj-patrake, Dadhaati yaH kare tasya vashagaaH sarva-siddhayaH.__(6) Purport : If this Sun shield hymn is written on a birch leaf and assumed over the hand by a person, he would acquire all supernatural powers. Su-snaato yo japet-samyak yo-adheete svastha-maanasaH, Sa rogmukto deerghaayuH sukham pushtim cha vindati.__(7) Purport : After taking bath whoever recites this shield properly with unruffled mind becomes free from all diseases and long lived with happiness, opulence and prosperity. Atha shreemad Yaagyavalkaya-muni-virachitam Soorya-kavachstotramSatyaa santu mama kaamaaH. Purport : May this Sun shield hymn created by sage Yagyavalkaya fulfill all my desires.
