✦ About
Surya is the god of the sun, riding his chariot drawn by seven horses across the sky each day. He is the visible form of the divine, the source of light, warmth, and life. His rays dispel darkness both literal and spiritual.
Father of Karna and the divine twins the Ashvins, Surya represents the life-giving power that makes all existence possible. The ancient Gayatri Mantra is addressed to Surya's light, seeking enlightenment and wisdom.
Surya represents the divine light of consciousness, the truth that dispels ignorance, and the eternal cycle of day that governs all life.
✦ Famous Story
Surya's brilliance was so intense that his wife Sanjna fled from him. To win her back, his father-in-law Vishwakarma reduced Surya's radiance, using the excess light to forge divine weapons including Vishnu's discus and Shiva's trident.
