VASANTA PANCHAMA SARASWATI PUJA - JANUARY 29, 2020
RATHA SAPTAMI / SURYA PUJA - JANUARY 31, 2020
Ratha Saptami marks the seventh day following the Sun's northerly movement (Uttarayana) of vernal
equinox starting from Capricorn (Makara). It is symbolically represented in the form of Surya turning his
Ratha (Chariot) drawn by seven horses, with Aruna as the charioteer, towards the northern hemisphere,
in a north-easterly direction. The chariot has 12 wheels, which represents the 12 signs (each of 30 degrees)
of the Zodiac (360 degrees) and constituting a full year, named Samvatsara.
The Sun's own house is Leo (Simha) and he moves from one house to the next every month and the total cycle
takes 365 days to complete. The Ratha Saptami festival seeks the benevolent cosmic spread of energy and light
from the Sun God.Ratha Saptami also marks the birth of Surya to sage Kashyapa and his wife Aditi and hence
celebrated as Surya Jayanti. It is also said that sage Bhisma breathed his last breath fourth day after the Rathasaptahmi day on ekaadashi
Amongst all the Veda Mantras, the 'Aruna Prashna' otherwise called Surya Namaskaram is considered as
most significant one for worshiping the Surya Bhagwan. We have this entire mantras in the first prasna of
Taitriya Aranyakam of Yajur Veda. This is called Surya Namaskara Prasnam.
In this Surya Namaskara Prasna, there are 32 Anuvaakams (chapters). 130 Panchaasath (paragraphs) can be
found in this total 30 Anuvaakams. When the Japam is performed, it is in our sampradaya, to offer one
sashtanaga namaskaram, facing east (Surya Bhagwan), at the end of every panchaathi (paragraph) or
alternatively at the conclusion of each anuvaakam depending upon ones health condition. The last anuvaakam
ends with the description of one vratam called 'samvatsara vratam' and also proclaims that one who does this
vratam becomes a punyatma. It concludes with the following words: thapasvee punyo bhavathi, thapasvee
punyo bhavathee. Generally this japam will be followed by and concluded with Navagraha Mantras.
Aruna Prasna Mantras are chanted to get prosperity, health, medha shakthi and all round success.
It is certain to create positive vibrations - both internally and externally. Even listening to these mantras is
considered a great boon for health and all round success.
