Agasthya Muni advises Rama the greatness of Aditya Hridayam, this:
7.1: (Salutations to the Sun God) He carries the essence of splendour of all the Devas (Sarva Deva Atmaka), and is filled with Fiery Energy (Tejasvi) which He manifests in His Rays (Rashmi Bhavana),
7.2: He protects the Lokas of the Devas and Asuras by His Rays (filled with Tejas),

8.1: (Salutations to the Sun God) He is Brahma, and He is Vishnu; He is Shiva and He is Skanda; He is Prajapati,
8.2: He is Maahendra (Indra Deva), He is Dhanada (God of Wealth), He is Kala (God of Time), He is Yama (God of Death), He is Soma (Moon God) and he indeed is the Lord of Water (Varuna Deva),

9.1: (Salutations to the Sun God) (Being the primal force) He indeed is the ancestor of all, including Vasus, Sadhyas, Ashwins, Maruts and Manu,
9.2: He is the Wind (Vayu) and the Fire (Vahni) outside, and resides as the Prana of his offsprings inside; He is the creator of different Seasons (Ritus) and fills everything with Splendour,

10.1: (Salutations to the Sun God) The Surya, the son of Aditi (Aditya), the great Planet (Khaga), is the vivifier of all (Savita); He is full of Rays (Gabhastiman) and Nourishes all (Pusha),
10.2: His Lustre is like Gold (Suvarna Sadrisha Bhanu), which emanates from his Golden Seeds (Hiranya Reta) and creates the Bright Day for us (Divakara),

11.1: (Salutations to the Sun God) Thousands of Light Rays come out of Him like Reddish-Yellow Horses; His Seven Horses (Seven Colours of Light) producing the Light,
11.2: He removes the Darkness (Timira) (of both outside and inside) and makes us Joyful; He floats in the Sky like a huge Bird (Martanda), the Bird of Light, the Bird which emits Light,

12.1 (Salutations to the Sun God) His Golden Womb (Hiranya Garbha) burns the Dew (representing underlying substance) and making Light (Bhaskara) shines in the Sky as the Sun (Ravi),
12.2: The Womb of Fire (Agni Garbha) of the Son of Aditi sounds His Conch, which awakens us and destroys our Frigidity (Inertness),

15.1: (Salutations to the Sun God) He is the presiding Deity of Constellations (Nakshatras), Planets (Graha) and Stars (Tara), and conceives the whole Universe in his mind (i.e. his scope of influence is universal),
15.2: He has more Energy of Splendour (Tejas) than even the most Energetic; Salutations to You who has twelve Atmans (i.e. 12 Adityas - Varuna, Mitra, Aryama, Bhaga, Amshuman, Dhata, Parjamya, Tvashtha, Vishnu, Pushya, Vivasvan),

Salutations to the Jyotir-Gana-Eswarah!
The lord and source of all groups of the billions of solar and planetary systems of this universe;
All sources of Effulgence and life…

How apt is that this nama comes today, the day of Deepavali representing exactly this truth and the victorious return of Rama to
Ayodhya.

Lighting of Lamp during Deepavali...
Lamps made of clay from Earth, available to all, owned by all;
denoting the commonality of emotions and equality in celebration, dispelling the delusion of difference and discrimination;
Wick made of cotton- the lightest and most ancient of natural plant fibres, available and affordable to all; denoting that to 'light' the lamp of knowledge within, to dispel the darkness of ignorance, one needs to be 'light' and 'organic' within;
‘Sesame Oil’ from the most humble and tolerant plant which can survive the harshest drought; the oldest domesticated oil seed crop known to mankind- Sesamum-
denoting ‘humility and tolerance’ are virtues and the greatest source and strength, that fuels the lamp of ‘self-knowledge’ that illuminates the soul from within;
‘Deepa- Aavali' meaning the 'Row of Lamps'-
Let's light one each within and without, standing together enlightened,
as one kind, one species, one nation, one planet;
One Soul and as Collective Consciousness;
Unified in Yoga of truth and unconditional love.
The day when Earth matches the beauty of a star lit sky with Lamps of Celebration.
Tamasoma Jyotir Gamaya:
Happy Deepavali- the celebration of fthe
victory of righteousness and enlightenment of the soul.
Wishing abundance of divine grace. Happy Deepavali
