About
Surya Ashtottara Shatanamavali is the sacred list of 108 names of Lord Surya, the Sun God, who is considered the pratyaksha devata (visible god) in Hinduism. As the source of light, life, and energy, Surya is worshipped for health, vitality, success, and spiritual illumination. These names describe his various attributes - from Aditya (son of Aditi) to Savita (the generator), from Bhaskara (light-maker) to Martanda (life-giver). Chanting these names is especially powerful on Sundays and during Surya Graha afflictions.
सूर्य अष्टोत्तर शतनामावली भगवान सूर्य के 108 पवित्र नामों की सूची है, जो हिंदू धर्म में प्रत्यक्ष देवता (दृश्य देव) माने जाते हैं। प्रकाश, जीवन और ऊर्जा के स्रोत के रूप में सूर्य की उपासना स्वास्थ्य, जीवनशक्ति, सफलता और आध्यात्मिक प्रकाश के लिए की जाती है। ये नाम उनके विभिन्न गुणों का वर्णन करते हैं - आदित्य (अदिति के पुत्र) से सविता (उत्पादक), भास्कर (प्रकाश निर्माता) से मार्तण्ड (जीवनदाता) तक। रविवार और सूर्य ग्रह दोष के समय इन नामों का जाप विशेष शक्तिशाली है।
