Sri Surya Ashtakam – Lyrics and meanings



|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||






I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Surya who is primordial, Oh! Bhaskara kindly bless us, I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Dhivakara, Oh! Prabhakara I shall prostrate before you.  I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Surya who is the son of Sage Kashyapa, he is seated on the majestic chariot drawn by seven horses, he emits sizzling rays, he carries white lotus flower.   I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Surya who is seated on the marvelous crimson colored chariot , he is the father of all the living beings in the Universe, he destroys greatest of the sins.  I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Surya, who is the symbol of Thrigunas, he is valorous, he represents Trinities/Lord Bhrama, Lord Vishnu and Lord Maheshwara,  he destroys the greatest of the sins.  I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Surya, who has supreme brilliance, he represents Vayu and Ether, and he is the Lord of all worlds.   I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Surya who has the luster of hibiscus flower, he is decked in various precious ornaments as garlands and ear stud, and he carries the divine wheel.    I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Surya who is cause for the function of the Universe, he has supreme brilliance, and he destroys greatest of the sins.   I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Surya who is the Lord of all living beings, he is the provider of wisdom and knowledge and Moksha as well, and he is the destroyer of greatest sins. 

Whoever reads or listens to the glorious verses of Suryashtakam would be relieved from the evil effects of planets, childless couple who reads or listens to the above verses with utmost faith and devotion would be blessed with virtuous offspring, and deprived people would be blessed with abundance of wealth.


Whoever consumes meat and intoxicated drinks on Sundays would be afflicted with illnesses and poverty in their seven births.


Whoever abstains from sensual pleasure, oil bath, intoxicated drinks and meat on Sundays would remain unaffected by any illnesses, poverty and distress, ultimately attain the abode of Lord Surya.
