Sri Surya Sthothram – Lyrics and meanings



|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||











I shall meditate upon Lord Surya during the early hours of dawn, he is Savithre who has great effulgence, he is splendorous and he resides in the Suryamandala, he is the essence of Veda, his  circular form represents Rig Veda, his attractive  limbs represents Yajur Veda  and the powerful rays represents Sama Veda, he illuminates the whole Universe with his brilliance,  he represents trinities/Lord Bhrama, Hara/Lord Shiva, Kamalathmaka/Lord Vishnu, he is perceivable through senses, he is beyond human intellect/incomprehensible as well,  I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Surya, who is benevolent/energetic, I shall worship supreme Lord Surya with the recitation of sacred hymns and contemplating upon him, he is worshiped by Lord Bhrama, Lord Indhra and all the deities, he is the source of rain, he is the protector of three worlds, he symbolizes Thrigunas such as Swathik, Rajas and Tamasic,  I shall meditate upon supreme Lord Surya, he has supreme radiance and has infinite power, he eradicates all the sins of the worshiper, he removes fears from the enemies and critical illnesses of the worshiper, he is supreme Lord, he symbolizes Kala and Kalamoorthi as well, he is primordial deity, he liberates the soul from repeated births, Oh! Mortals, above are the three glorious verses praising the splendor of Lord Surya, it should be recited during the early hours of dawn, it would eradicates all the illnesses of the worshiper and provides abundance of happiness.
