Surya Arghya, Offering Water to Sun

The majesty of the Indian Culture can be evaluated by the fact that the health of the body and mind along with the spiritual illumination of the intellect has been equitably corroborated through the religion. Offering water to the sun god is also considered a significant component of our religion. The modern science has authenticated the fact that the sun is a significant multitude of the life force. Hence it is a powerhouse of positive energy.

During the process of offering water to the sun god, the spectrum of sun-rays refract through the water impacting us positively from head to toe. As a result we automatically gain through ‘the water therapy of sun-rays.’ This process helps us miraculously not only in the intellectual upliftment of the individual but it also reflects enhancement of his acumen in decision making, in eye-sight, digestion, luster as well as splendor. On the whole the physical body remains hale & hearty. This therapy also safeguards the body from the effect of defiled & deformed gases. The sun-rays refracting through the water of libation are a vital source of vigour and beauty. The green, violet or of the sun are considered rich sources of anti-bacterial energy.It is a proven scientific fact that the early morning sun rays are good for the human being, after all human body is also a bundle of energy. The human body is made up of five things, air (vayu), water (jal), earth (prithvi), fire (energy) and space (aakash) and the cure of all the ailments of the body is amongst these five things only and the rays of the rising sun are one of these things. Many diseases can be cured by the use of sun rays e.g. ailments of the heart, eyes, jaundice, leprosy and weak mind. 

Rigveda says, it is sun that wakes one up from sleep. It is due to thesun that all can work and are active. All living beings of the creation depend on the sun. The sun removes physical, mental and spiritual weaknesses and makes one healthy and long lived. The seven colours of the sun are very good and important for the health. If early morning one has a bath and after offering prayers to the Lord one has sun bath and allows the sun rays to fall on one's body then one could free the body of all ailments and increase one's intelligence.

After offering water, the invocation of sun rays focused at the navel and the centre between the eye brows helps in the development of ‘Manipur Chakra’ &‘Agya Chakra’ respectively. It again helps in honing our acumen. So, immediately after the sun-rise, we should offer water (in a brass-jug) to the sun-god. At the time of offering water to the sun-god, one should reverentially pronounce the following ‘Surya Gayatri Mantra.’

‘Aum ÍdityÍy vidmahe bhÍskarÍye dhÐmahi,

tanno bhÍnuÏ pracodayÍt.’
