ஜயாவஹம் ஜபேன்நித்யம் அக்ஷய்யம் பரமம் சிவம்
The powerful mantra
To pray 🙏 in praise of Lord Sun, the Surya Bhagavan.
Chanting the Aditya Hrudyam slogans you can do. But unlike we chant தேவாரம், திருவாசகம் before the Deity in the Temple, it's not to see Sun God as and when you feel like. True you get Vitamin D from Sun.
There are certain times and places, you aren't supposed to see the Sun Lord as per Dharma Sastras.
What times not to look at Sun:
1. When Sun rises in the morning - true people throng to see Sun Rising. It may be beautiful to watch Sun Rising. But Dharma Sastras codify a Strict No to doing so.
2. Similarly you are not to see Sun at the time of Sunset.
3. When in the noon Sun is at its peak, you are not to see Sun. May be because of uv rays.
4. Again, don't see reflection of Sun in the water bodies, like river, lakes etc.
5. And during the time of eclipse - கிரஹன time.
If not to see Sun Lord and pray when He rises, what to do at that dawn:
Dhyan, -Meditate.
Why Dharma Sastra?
All the trouble in the world is due to disregard of Sastric Codes.
