Astrological Mythology The Meaning of ... - Mandhata Global

1 THE SUN
SURYA
Hindus give great importance to the solar deity. Even today various ancient
forms of Sun worship are performed, which are very powerful in their
effects. Such practices give spiritual healing, as curative energy itself derives
from the solar radiation. During the course of history, Hindu adoration for
impersonal solar light became personalized. In Puranic mythology the solar
deity became couched in strange fantasies. This served to deflect the
attention from the inner to the outer expressions of this energy. Nonetheless,
these mythological accounts contain the most sacred wisdom. It is possible
to discover the essential features of the Sun by studying these stories on the
basis of certain esoteric keys. The myths, allegories and symbols assigned to
the Sun are capable of revealing the meaning of all cosmic energy.
The Sun is the most important planet of the solar system. The harmony
between the planets depends upon its gravitational pull. The Sun provides
the vital forces which energize all forms of existence, and when withdrawn,
bring about their dissolution. Geometrically the Sun is represented by a
circle with a central point O. The central point refers to the fountainhead of
primeval energy from which every form of manifestation arises, whereas the
outer ring describes the realm of manifestation. In the visible Sun the
indentification of the center is impossible, while in the symbolic
representation it is conspicuous. A center without a circumference is nonexistent:
if a central point is located, there must always be a circumference.
