Sun 2 - The Magnificent Sun

Rating: 5.0


To the eyes of the beholder,
Sun is the magnificent light!
To every earth dweller,
Sun is the power of might.

To every farmer,
Sun is the radiant director.
To the sick and sad,
Sun is the healer.

To the cold,
Sun is the warmth
To every lost soul,
Sun is the rejuvenator.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I am beginning a new series on Surya - The Sun God. In India, Surya or Sun is worshipped as God. There are plenty of Stotras or Hymns in Sanskrit in praise of the Sun God. There is an Upanishad named ‘Suryopanishad' exclusively devoted to the myriad powers of the Sun God. I have selected few verses and interpreted them to give it the form of a poem so that all poets can enjoy reading and comprehending the essence of these hymns as given in the ancient spiritual texts of India.

A lovely triplet of Sun poems from the ancient spiritual texts of India. I wonder how many other suns are worshipped in the universe by other life forms? A good 5*
