Importance of Surya Puja
As per Hindu Religion and Vedic Astrology, Sun is also the king of Gods (Devtas) and Nine Planets (Navagrahas). One cannot imagine life without the light of the Sun, and that is why, he is also the Creator of the World. It is believed that offering water to the Sun on daily basis, boosts memory and mental awareness. As per religious beliefs, worshipping Sun God on Ratha Saptami, relieves a person of unintended sins. Also, the defects associated with Sun become less effective.
We, at Astrosage, wishes all our readers a very blissful and virtuous Surya Saptami. May the blessings and grace of Sun God remains upon you.
