According to mythology and Vedas the sun is god and the existing
divine,the sun is described as sun god is in red coloured with three
eyes four arms and sitting on a chariot carried by seven horses.
Charioteer is called arunadeva and the horses are consider the planets
and sun god is important deity. The sun god is also believed to bring
good fortune. So Soorya deva is described in the scriptures Purana
Idhikasas and Vedas in a great manner. A popular story from Devi
Mahapuranam Yadava king Satrajit worshipped sun god and god appeared in
front of him and bestowed a chain called Syamanthaka and it would
produce for eight bharas of gold daily. (the measure it is said"Four
kundhumani is are one gunja; five gunjas, one pana; eight panas, one
karsa; four karsas, one pala; and one hundred palas, onetula. Twenty
tulās one bhara." there are about 3,700 kundumanis in an ounce;”) the
Syamantaka was producing approximately 170 pounds of gold every day. It
was also the source of the reflecting brilliant power occurrence of the
Sun god. Another story in Mahabharatham Yudhirstra worshipped
Sooryadeva and he bestowed 'akshaya patram' and so on.
The
modern astronomy note says (this details I read in internet) that the
Sun is the star at the centre of the Solar System.It is almost round
shape and consists of hot plasma inter linking with magnetic areas. and
its weighs about 332,950 times the Earth's weight..in addition
chemically about three quarters of the Sun's mass consists of
hydrogen,whereas the rest is mostly helium. The explanation about
helium. Most stars, after converting a significant portion of their
hydrogen to helium cause an internal change, the internal midpoint
collapses,and heats up, until it is hot enough to fuse helium into
larger atoms, At this same time, some helium with the carbon to produce
oxygen. there is still enough hydrogen to fuse into more helium. But
the inner most parts begins into larger atoms. This, by the way, is the
transition from a 'normal' star become sun to a red giant. The
remaining part consists of heavier elements, including oxygen, carbon,
neon andiron, among others. In addition that the silicon absorbs sun
light and passes that energy to the accelerates to split water into unit
of hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen is a fuel that can be either burned or
used in a fuel cell to create electricity, reforming water in either
case. This means that in theory, anyone with access to water can use it
to create a inexpensive, clean, fuel.
Surya
Siddhanta has been one of the astronomical Siddhanta which has been
worked out by a number of astronomers from time to time. The work of
Surya Siddhanta has been in the book Panchasiddhantika author is
Varahamihira.
Varāhamihira 505–587CE astronomer, mathematician,
and astrologer who lived in Ujjaini.He was born in Avanti region. He was
educated at Kapitthaka.He is considered to be one of the nine jewels
(Navaratnas) of the court of legendary ruler King Vikramaditya.
Itis
said Panacha siddhanthika is a written material on mathematical
astronomy and it expresses five earlier astronomical materials, which
are the Surya Siddhanta, Romaka Siddhanta, Paulisa Siddhanta,Vasishtha
Siddhanta and Paitamaha Siddhantas. It is a collection of Vedanga
Jyotisha, as well as relating to the Greeks astronomy Egyptian and Roman
elements. He was the first one to mention in his work Pancha
Siddhantika that the ayanams, (Dhakshinayanam/Utrayanam)or the shifting
of the cosmic time.
The old version of Surya Siddhanta it is said
which was summarized by Varahamihira had been much different from the
present day version of Surya Siddhanta which was developed in 400AD.
Surya Siddhanta has been referred by many number of astronomers from
time to time which include Aryabhata I.
Withthe sun's travel now
it is Utrayanam punya kalam is beginning and Sankaranthi celebration
begins. Sakranti means to go from one place to another place (to change
direction). The time when the sun changes direction from one
constellation to another is called Sankranti.
Transition of
the Sun from Sagittarius to Capricorn(Dhadusu to Maharan) during the
winter cosmic time in the northern geographical region(Uttarayanam) is
known as Makara Sakranti. The day when the sunbegins its northward
journey falls in 14th January. which is constant every year. Only during the leap year will be on 15thJanuary,
For the people of the northern geographical region, the northward path
of the sun marks the period when the sun is getting closer and closer to
them, when the days are getting longer, and it is becoming warmer to
hottest.
There are 12 sankaranthis every month transition from one zodiac sign to another. but two of these are most prominent;
Those two are Mesha Sakrantiand
Makara Sakranti they are called Dhakshinayanam and Uthirayanam. Every
special reasons make the northward journey of the sun sacred and
auspicious.
Science
connects great importance to the sun. The philosophy greets to worship
as lord so we all understand that the sun is all important, the tireless
and the source of light and energy. Without sunlight no one will live
This is why the sun’s existence, movements and positions in the universe
are so important . If one worship the sun he has a specified heights
for knowledge, spiritual light and wisdom. In fact, the sun
itself stands for all the ideals of the Pongal festival. Its message is
that of peace, unity, harmony and truthfulness are the great heights of
philosophical doctrines of Karma Yoga.
During this holy festival
we learn to feel our unity with all creation; true knowledge, piousness,
kindness, love, purity and forgiveness. Our real wealth is the goodwill,
courteous, gracious; and true friendship.
Makara Sakranti is base
to faraway the ignorance, and begin to light on toget the Lords
graceful shine from brighter to brightest luminously in our life. We
all delightfully begin to walk on righteous path to get Suryadeva's
