RATHA SAPTAMI Align your SOLAR PLEXUS

What is Ratha Saptami ?

Ratha Saptami is a day we celebrate as the birthday of Lord Surya, who was born to Sage Kashyap and his wife Aditi.

Aditya hrydayam, is a string of shlokas, sung in praise of the Lord. Aditya - Hrydayam - means one who is lies in the heart of Mother Aditi. Aditya is another name of Lord Surya. The Aditya Hrydayam also opens the heart of Lord Surya who showers his blessings on us.

Ratha means chariot.

Saptami here is the seventh day from Amavasya or New Moon, Shukla paksh

The THAI Maasam, begins with honoring the SUN god, and is a harvest festival – PONGAL in South India.

It is also symbolically representing the form of the Sun God Surya turning his Ratha (Chariot) drawn by seven horses, towards the northern hemisphere, in a north-easterly direction.

The seven horses represent the seven colours of the RAINBOW – VIBGYOR, and in turn the seven main chakras of our human aura. The seven colours also represent the seven days of the week. The chariot has 12 wheels representing the 12 Rashis in the horoscope.

How do we celebrate the festive occasion ?

By waking up before sunrise, and bathing with seven Arka leaves placed on ourselves in different places.

Ratha Saptami is celebrated an hour after Sunrise. The seven Arka leaves are places as follows :-

1. One leaf on the head

2. Two leaves - one on each of the shoulders

3. Two leaves - One on each knee

4. Two leaves - One on each feet.

Some people also just place all the seven leaves on the head.

A little rice/akshada is placed with some turmeric over the Arka leaves. Bath is taken by pouring water over the leaves, chanting any shloka in praise of the Sun God.
