108 Names for Surya - The Sun god

Surya on his chariot drawn by 7 horses


The Vedic Scriptures give 108 names of Surya. These names are explain various qualities associated with Surya(Sun), various qualities(gunas) it possesses and also the benefits one can get from a powerful Sun in his/her horoscope or astrological chart. For those who have a weak placement of Sun in their natal horoscope, chanting this names or associated mantras gives power to their charts. There are many ways one can give strength to the weak planets in their natal chart. Knowing of the meanings associated with various names of Surya is helpful in understanding the various effects of Sun in astrology.
I have enumerated these names for enthusiasts of astrology. An important point to remember is that Sun denotes ones Father and an easy way to strengthen your natal sun is to serve your father, care for him and make sure he is happy. This pleases the Sun God indirectly and even a badly placed Sun in your chart starts giving favourable results.
