LORD SURYA DEVA, ORISSA!!!

Oh God who makes the day, when you open all the world opens and,
When you close down all the world closes like a bud,
And nothing else known to us is capable of doing this,
And all the world thus acts as if it is a lotus flower.

OM SURYAYA NAMAH!!!

 

Veera Anjaneyar picture is nice.

Surya Devan picture is very good and hope it is standing separately and not along with all other dieties belonging to Navagrahas. Very nice one. Thank you for the posts.

வேதங்களால் போற்றப்படுபவரே! நற்குணம் கொண்டவரே! ஆசையில்லாதவர்களுக்கு அருளைப் பொழிபவரே! அசுரர்களை துவம்சம் செய்தவரே! தெய்வயானையை மணந்தவரே! அழகில் மன்மதனை வென்றவரே! கந்தப்பெருமானே! உன்னைத் தியானிக்கிறேன்!!!

வெற்றிவேல்! வீரவேல்!!! முருகனுக்கு அரோகரா!!!
