Sunday is dedicated to Lord Surya (Sun God)—the king of planets. Worshipping the Sun God on this day is believed to bring immense benefits, including happiness, prosperity, fame, and respect. When the Sun is weak in one’s horoscope, success often remains elusive despite hard work. To strengthen the position of the Sun in your birth chart and receive His divine blessings, the Vedic astrology recommend several powerful remedies to be performed on Sunday.
Let’s explore the most effective rituals and remedies for pleasing the Sun God.
1. Offer Arghya to the Sun God
Start your Sunday by offering Arghya (water offering) to the rising sun. While offering Arghya, chant the following powerful mantras - Om Suryaya Namah, Om Vasudevaya Namah, Om Adityaya Namah. This ritual pleases Lord Surya and helps in strengthening his presence in your horoscope.
2. Apply Red Sandalwood Tilak
Before stepping out of the house on Sunday, apply a tilak of red sandalwood on your forehead. It is believed to enhance chances of success. Additionally, wearing red-coloured clothes on Sunday attracts positive solar energy.
3. Light Lamps at the Main Door
In the evening, light two desi ghee diyas (lamps) on either side of your main entrance. This ritual not only pleases the Sun God but also invites the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi, leading to increased wealth and prosperity.
4. Make Offerings to the Sun
Offer the following items to the Sun God on Sunday – jaggery, milk, rice and red cloth. These offerings help in resolving obstacles and make your tasks more successful.
5. Banyan Leaf Remedy
If you have a specific wish or desire, take a banyan leaf on Sunday. Write your wish on it using sandalwood paste or red ink and flow it in running water.
6. Light a Four-Sided Lamp under a Peepal Tree
To attract fame, fortune, and happiness, light a four-sided lamp made of wheat flour. Use mustard oil in the lamp. Place it under a Peepal tree on Sunday evening.
