श्री सूर्य देव आरती
Origin & Story
Traditional Hindi devotional aarti · Traditional · Devotional era
Surya, the Sun God, is the one deity visible to all eyes — the source of life, light and health, riding his chariot of seven horses driven by the charioteer Aruna. From the Vedic Gayatri to the Aditya Hridaya that Agastya taught Rama, the Sun has been worshipped at dawn across the ages; this aarti is sung after offering Arghya to the rising Sun.
✦ As told in scripture
It was by reciting the Aditya Hridaya at the Sun's blessing that Rama found the strength to defeat Ravana. Devotees offer water (Arghya) to the rising Sun, recite his aarti, and report renewed health, vigour, eyesight and confidence flowing into their lives.
