Maha Souram – Life energies in 65 Soura Mantras of RigVeda

In the ancient vedic literature there are many references to Sun God seeking his grace to provide health, vigour and knowledge. These prayers to Sun God are prescribed to those who want to improve their health, longevity and lead a vigorous and bright life. The recommendations for better health include  Gayatri japa, Surya Namaskarams, Aditya Hridayam & Aruna Prashna, Souram and many others. Souram is a collection of 65 mantras carefully selected from various parts of Rgveda, all of which either extol Sun God and / or seek His grace for a powerful and energetic life.  

Being an ancient work, we may not have ‘ready to refer’ scientific explanations for these Mantras in the modern terminology and thought order, but there certainly exists a need to validate these Mantras with a modern analytical approach and reach the benefits to the masses, argues the speaker. Let us listen to him…

In his talk on Souram, the speaker will dwell on various aspects and powers of Sun God, as recorded and practiced by the followers of vedic way of life, with special focus on Maha Souram.  It is said there are Mantras in Souram to cure various diseases and bestow both physical and mental health. Mantras to cure Heart disease, skin problems, eye problems, cough, breathing problems, fever and digestive disorders etc seem to be present in Souram.
