Tantric Rituals and Surya Dev Worship
The Divine Power of Surya Dev
In ancient Indian tradition, Surya Dev (सूर्य देव) is considered the giver of life, health, and energy. Every ray of sunlight is a divine vibration that purifies the mind and body. Marathi devotees still sing with deep devotion —
“जय सूर्यदेवा प्रभाकर, प्रभात किरणांचे तेज तुझें अमर्याद…”
(O Sun Lord, your morning rays are boundless and eternal.)
In today’s fast-paced world, chanting and performing Surya Arati bring balance, mental strength, and spiritual awakening.
The Meaning and Significance of Surya Worship
Surya Upasana (सूर्य उपासना) is one of the oldest Vedic practices. According to the Rigveda, Surya is the Soul of the Universe (आत्मा जगतस्य) - the ultimate source of prana (life energy).
Benefits of Daily Surya Worship:
-
Brings health and vitality
-
Enhances mental clarity and focus
-
Removes planetary doshas (especially Shani)
-
Promotes success and fame
-
Increases confidence and courage
As the Marathi saint says:
“सूर्य नमस्काराने रोग नाहीं राहे, तेज वाढे, आयुष्य लांबते.”
Meaning - With Surya Namaskar, diseases disappear, radiance grows, and life extends.
Tantra and Surya Dev: The Mystical Connection
Tantra Shastra views Surya as the manifestation of light and consciousness. Through mantra and yantra practices, one can awaken inner fire (Agni Shakti) and cosmic energy.
Basic Surya Tantra Ritual (सूर्य तंत्र विधि):
-
Draw a Surya Yantra on a copper plate.
-
Offer red flowers, wheat grains, and a ghee lamp facing east.
-
Chant the Beej Mantra while meditating on sunlight.
-
Offer Arghya (water) to the rising Sun.
Surya Beej Mantra (सूर्य बीज मंत्र)
ॐ ह्रां ह्रीं ह्रौं सः सूर्याय नमः।
(Om Hram Hreem Hraum Sah Suryaya Namah)
Meaning: “Salutations to Surya Dev, the illuminator of all beings.”
This mantra enhances vitality, heals body and mind, and aligns the solar chakra (Manipura).
Surya Dev Arati (सूर्य आरती)
Perform the following Arati daily after sunrise to invite divine blessings:
जय सूर्यदेवा प्रभाकर, जय दिवाकर दीनदयाल।
प्रभात किरणांचे तेज दे, कर अंधकाराचा नाश अपार।।
करो आरती श्री सूर्यदेवाची, दिपे लखलखती तेजाची।
दान दे तू आरोग्याचा, प्रसन्न कर जीवना माझा।।
Meaning:
“O radiant Sun, remove the darkness and fill my life with your light and strength.”

Modern Relevance of Surya Dev Worship
In modern times, Surya Upasana connects the human body’s energy cycles with nature’s rhythm. Scientists acknowledge that morning sunlight boosts serotonin (a happiness hormone) and enhances vitamin D.
Thus, Surya worship blends science with spirituality - just as the Tirupati Balaji temple or ISKCON Kharghar integrates devotion with discipline.
Navi Mumbai’s new Atal Setu Bridge, Karjat–Panvel corridor, and NMIA airport symbolise India’s own “Surya Tatva” - progress through light.
Marathi Bhakti Verse
“सूर्याचे तेज जीवनाचे प्राण, जो नमतो त्यास लाभे ज्ञान।”
(The one who bows to the Sun gains wisdom and life energy.)
