Surya Worship in Hinduism: Importance and Benefits

The Sun holds a revered position in Hinduism, where it is known as Surya and is considered the visible Reality, Brahman. Lord Krishna himself composed a hymn to Surya and emphasized its importance before the Mahabharata war. Surya worship is so significant that it is one of the Six systems of Hindu worship. The Surya Mandala Ashtakam, though less known, is said to be highly effective in combating depression and crises, granting the power to overcome challenges. The hymn 'tatsaviturvareNyam.h' is a recurring motif in this context, being a hymn to the Sun. Additionally, it is associated with the Gayatri mantra.
