After purifying himself by sipping the water three times (performed ācamanam) the brave Rama lifted his bow. Gazing towards the sun, Rama recited the shloka (thrice) and became very happy and thrilled. Trirācamya śucirbhūtvā dhanurādāya vīryavān ॥ 29 ॥ (वचः त्वर इति) vacah tvar iti – spoke the words “Hurry up” सुरगणमध्यगतः suragaṇamadhyagah – surrounded by Gods विदित्वा viditvā – having known (the outcome) संक्षयम् saṃkṣayaṃ – complete destruction निशिचरपति niśicarapati – Head of the asuras मुदितमनाः muditamanāḥ – of delighted mind Then, knowing fully that destruction of the head of the asuras (who are active and move around at night) was inevitable and near, lord Surya, surrounded by other devas in heaven looked at Rama delightfully and exclaimed “Hurry up” (Finish the job). It is very common in many shlokas to have the last verse in a different poetic meter. धन्यवादः पुनः मिलामः च । Thanks and Goodbye!Ī quick special note on the concluding verse – Aditya Hrudayam is set to 8 syllable poetic meter called Anushtup but this last 31st verse is set to a special 12 syllable meter called Jagati. May lord Surya bless you with His divine and luminous intellect and lead to success in all your endeavors. Thanks for your time, interest, patience (with some of the lengthy posts 😮), likes, comments and suggestions. This whole blogging experience has been intellectually stimulating, emotionally empowering and therapeutic, all at the same time.įinally before wrapping up, I would like to acknowledge all the followers from the bottom of my heart ( there are a few and I know you all).
In fact, outside of the realms of daily life and work routines this is the only time where true to self I have shown some form of commitment, discipline and sincerity in doing something solid and productive. Up until now I never knew I had this kind of discipline in me. Since last summer I have been methodically documenting one shloka a week with my commentaries and scientific interpretations. What else can I say!! That is precisely why, in a very spontaneous/spur of the moment type of thing, I decided to blog Aditya Hrudayam, focusing mainly on the scientific themes. The seven horses represent the seven colors of the visible spectrum and the serpents that yoke the seven horses are symbolic of the wavy nature of light (snakes like light move curvy not a straight line).
As a scientist what fascinates me incredibly is the fact that this hymn composed in Treta Yuga accurately states several facts about sun which modern science with all its technological advantage could discover only much later. It was after this spectacle I learnt Aditya Hrudayam so effortlessly in less than one week.
In some ways it changed my perception of life. This cosmic bliss lasted less than 2 minutes in real time but was so gripping that it left in me a lifetime’s worth of impact. The critical inflection point for this blog came in the summer of 2017 in the form of the Great American eclipse (photo 5). Though priced at a premium the gratification of gazing and chanting Aditya Hrudayam to this showpiece every morning (which I do to my heart’s content) is unparalleled and priceless. Artisans from Swamimalai took two years to sculpt this masterpiece. The third Surya I like to acknowledge is a stunning sculpture that decorates our formal living room thanks to Kyle Tortora (photo 4) of Lotus Sculpture. The Surya in photo 2, the most adorable of all, is my chief source of inspiration for this blog and beyond. This Surya in photo 1 is the primal force that played a major role in transforming me into a heliophile. It started (unknown to me then) in Jan 2009 with an idol of lord Surya. I would like to acknowledge the people/characters and the events that galvanized the blog.Īs those who know me know already, this blog is a concoction of three of my greatest passions in life namely sun, science and samskrita shlokas. Before bidding adieu I would like to say a few words about the making of the blog.
