I once read somewhere that Surya is a God whom we actually see, feel and pray to in daily life. He is assumed to be riding a chariot driven by seven white horses and is the life giver sustaining all life on Earth .
When we do Sun salutations ( surya namaskar) the very first shloka that we recite is ” Om Mitraya Namaha” , so he is also a friend to all the flora and fauna on Earth.
Today on the” amavasya” day when some parts of the world witnessed ” solar eclipse” I have made an attempt to draw Lord Surya’ s chariot and the mat depics the the black sky .
