The Eternal Sun The Legacy of Surya Deva

“The Eternal Sun: The Legacy of Surya Deva” is a richly researched journey into the myths, mantras and meanings surrounding Surya, the sun god who watches over and energizes all life. Drawing from Vedic hymns, Aranyakas, Brahmanas, Puranas and epics like the Ramayana and Mahabharata, Shalini Modi traces Surya’s relationships, lineage, devotees and influence on human destiny. The book explores how the Sun’s symbolism as the source of knowledge, vitality and inner light is encoded in stories, rituals and temple traditions, inviting readers to see Surya not just as a distant deity, but as a living, guiding presence in everyday spiritual practice.
