Surya, also known as Aditya, is the Hindu god of Sun, celebrated as the creator of the universe and the source of all life. He brings light and warmth to the world, traveling across the sky each day in his golden chariot pulled by seven horses, driven by Aruna, the personification of Dawn. The most famous temple of Surya is in Konark, Orissa, but it is worshipped across the Indian subcontinent and is also a minor deity in Buddhism.

Mythology and Origins

Surya first appears in the Rigveda, one of the oldest Vedic texts, dating back to between 1500 and 1000 BCE. It is depicted as the bringer of the Sun, riding his chariot across the sky and defeating the demons of darkness. According to myths, Surya is the son of Kasyapa, a Vedic sage, and Aditi, representing the infinite heavens. In other tales, his father is Brahma or Dyaus.

Surya had three children with Samjna (Conscience), the daughter of Visvakarma: Vaivasvata (one of the original men or Manu), Yama (god of the dead), and Yami (goddess of the Yamuna river). Samjna, unable to bear Surya’s brilliance, left him and lived as a mare in the forest. Surya, disguised as a stallion, mated with her, resulting in the birth of Revanta and the twin Ashvins, who accompany Surya in his chariot.

Surya’s Many Names

Surya is known by numerous names and epithets, reflecting his various aspects and powers. Some of his names include:

Vivasvat (Brilliant)

Savitr (the Nourisher)

Bhaskara (Light-maker)

Dinakara (Day-maker)

Lokacaksuh (Eye of the World)

Graharaja (King of the Constellations)

Sahasra-kirana (Of a Thousand Rays)

God of the Sun: Exploring the Role of Surya dev in Hinduism

Surya art by Mahaboka

[proudhinduforever]

I have been wondering about this for a while now.

So there are 12 Adityas, not all of them are the Sun but what if they are. Like we know, Surya Dev is the sun in our solar system and that there are other solar systems in our galaxy and the universe, so what if the other Adityas are also the Sun in their solar systems?

They are not similar to sun. It's because they have been mentioned as rulers of different nakshatras in Jyotish which has different characteristics.

For example, Varuna rules shatabhisha nakshatra. Shatabhisha is closely associated with scientific invention/innovation or breaking boundaries whereas Sun ruled nakshatras are related to authority/power.

We Hindus use aditya as synonymous to sun. I guess that's where this misconception comes from. Adityas are simply the children of aditi. They all have different characteristics.

Also, solar system and galaxies are modern scientific constructs. Our Hindu scriptures doesn't mention galaxies. So adityas are universal.

Watched KALANK for the first time. Loved the plot, loved the cast [God bless Aditya Roy Kapur], loved the music, loved the entire movie but please will someone tell what the fuck happens in the end?!? Did Dev and Roop build their relationship? Or did they part ways? Did Zafar and Satya not die? Did Zafar's mummy stay in heeramadi? What about their dad?

FEEDING ANIMALS AS ASTROLOGICAL REMEDIES

In vedic astrology there are various remedies in order to minimize the negative effects of the malefic planets and it is suggested to needed people as per their horoscope.

There are many types of remedies in vedic astrology like gemstone ring, mantra, yantra, homa, puja etc etc. Among these remedies there is a remedy that is very popular in India is animal feeding remedy.

There are few animals that represents God and planet and feeding them is considered as a sacred act.

Among the animals are given below :

COW FEEDING : Cows are one of the most sacred animals in Hinduism. It is believed that a person can get rid of any problem present in the horoscope by feeding and serving a cow. There are many other astrological benefits of feeding a cow besides this.

As per shastra there are 33 koti ( crores ) devtas ( Gods ) in a Cow and by feeding Cow one can minimize the negativity of maximum planets and troubles in their life.

Here koti also means 33 Supremes, as in the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, chapter 3, Yājñavalkya has said that in reality there are only 33 gods and goddesses. Of these 8 are Vasus, 11 Rudras, 12 Adityas, and Indra and Prajapati.

8 Vasus + 11 Rudras + 12 Adityas + 2 Heaven and Earth ( 8+ 11 + 12 + 2 = 33).

So in Hinduism Cow is seen as Goddess as she represents all the Supremes in her and importance of Cow in Hindu mythology is depicted in many scriptures in olden granthas ( sacred books ) also.

The aura of Cow has power to clean our negative auras and thus we will feel energized after being sometime with Cows.

When we are near a cow while feeding, our tension and anxiety are subsided by the energy / aura of the HOLY COW and achieve positive thoughts and mindset.

Issues pertaining to every planets has got remedy of healing from Cow feeding.

For example : A person suffering from depression and other psychological issues cause due to moon, mercury and Saturn, can minimize it by feeding cows and being with them for some time, every day.

DOG FEEDING : Dogs are one of the most caring, loving animals on the planet earth that fills our home with love and happiness. We all love dogs, and they are one of the most loyal animals. They will love you more than they love themselves.

They bring positive energy to your house and one of the Vedic Astrological benefits of feeding Dogs is that, it makes your planet KETU stronger and calmer and thus save one from the wrath of RAHU AND SATURN also.

CROW AND PIGEON BIRD FEEDING : One of the remedy of the Lord Saturn / Shani dev is feeding birds like Crow and Pigeon. It is said that by feeding these birds with grains will minimize the wrath of Saturn of his negativities.

ANT FEEDING : This remedy is widely performed for minimizing the wrath of Rahu and Saturn. Feeding ants with sugar or flour balls will help one in pacifying the negativity of the planet rahu and Saturn.

FISH FEEDING : This is a good remedy to pacify rahu from spreading its negativity and thus minimizing it. Feeding fish is not always possible for people living in town and so people prefer keeping fish tanks at home and feeding them.

Fish has power to absorb the negativities and impart luck to the native and so many people keep fish tank at home which add as a decorative piece at home and there by imparting luck to the native.

WANTED CONNECTION SPOTLIGHT

Afet Turhan is looking for her siblings (0/2 brothers) (0/1 sister)

CHARACTER NAME: Afet Turhan

TYPE OF CONNECTION: Siblings; 2 brothers & 1 sister

INFO ABOUT THE CONNECTION: The Turhan family are your filthy rich, quintessentially terrible but somewhat bearable family (depending on tolerance level). They stay at arms length from the six families, but are cordial to all. However, if there came a point where they had to pick sides in the current conflict, they would align with the six due to their own historical/traditional sensibilities. The four siblings are out-of-touch, surrounded by 'yes' men and enablers— think of the Roys ala Succession HBO, minus the backstabbing for company clout. So, genuine affection masked by snark. Personalities are utp but entitlement seeps through them, be it a minute amount, or gallons. The three requested siblings are all also in involved in the family business in some sort of capacity.

AGE/FC SUGGESTIONS: #1 = 32/33, #2 = 35-37 and #3 = 39-43. Any suitable Turkish fcs but I have added some options to consider: Bensu Soral / Cansu Dere / Hazal Filiz Küçükköse / Beren Saat / Fahriye Evcen / Melike İpek Yalova / Saadet Aksoy / Ayça Ayşin Turan / Berk Cankat / Serkay Tütüncü / Yiğit Kirazcı / Halil Babür / İlhan Şen / Çağatay Ulusoy / Ekin Koç / Alperen Duymaz

DO YOU WANTED TO BE CONTACTED BEFORE THE CONNECTION IS PICKED UP?: Yes, @afcts

Surya Talon Abraxas

Surya, the Sun, is God incarnate in solar form, a glorious, shining golden orb visible every day. He is Astamurthi, one of the eight forms of Shiva. The Sun alone is the pivot of the entire Universe, the dispeller of darkness, and root cause of the three worlds. He is the deity of great brilliance and is considered the Supreme Soul. There are many names of Lord Surya and each name refers to a particular quality of consciousness - Aditya, Savita, Surya, Mihira, Arka, Prabhakara, Martanda, Bhaskara, Bhanu, Chitrabhanu, Divakara and Ravi.

Surya is the chief of the Navagrahas and is often depicted riding a chariot harnessed by seven horses which represent seven solar rays, seven chakras of the body and seven days of the week.

Surya’s sons, Shani and Yama are responsible for the judgment of human life. Shani provides the results of one’s deeds during life through appropriate punishments and rewards while Yama grants the results of one’s deeds after death.

In Vedic astrology Surya is considered a malefic on account of His hot, dry nature. Surya represents soul, will-power, fame, the eyes, general vitality, courage, kingship, father, authority figures, benevolence, generosity, grandeur, dignity and friendliness.

Surya has the following associations:

Animals: Deer, Tiger, Lion Bird: Goose Gem: Ruby Metals: Copper and Gold Direction: East Food: Wheat Sign: Leo Day: Sunday

In Tantra yoga, Surya, the planetary deity of the Sun, represents the Universal male principal, while Chandra, the Moon, represents the Universal female or shakti principle. Surya is also associated with Agni, the god of fire.

Jai Surya Dev!
