Sun 8 - The Awesome Illuminator

Rating: 5.0


Surya is ‘Hiranyagarbha',
‘Sishirastapana' -
The awesome Illuminator!
The handsome son of Aditi,
The bearer of fire,
The blissful, glowing light,
The destroyer of wet and cold!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This is a 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.

Sun is the source of life. A truly delightful depiction of the sun. It's life-giver. It's our very own sun.
