Let the Sun Rays enter your body - రధ సప్తమి ఏమిటి - సూర్య స్నానం ఎందుకు

Well, if you have Vitamin D deficiency and want more than just food and supplements, then sunshine is for you! Spend a little time outside in the morning and soak it in. Of course, be aware that you don’t want to get sunburn. If mornings are out, then make sure you use a sunscreen and take other precautions. Everything in moderation works well.

If you are suffering from calcium deficiency, then the good news is that the time spent in the sun will help your body to better absorb the calcium in your food thanks to the sunny Vitamin D.

Research shows that sleep patterns affect your body weight as well as moods. Sunshine helps to stimulate the pineal gland which secretes melatonin. If you prefer self-help to medication, then this is a great way to boost your melatonin secretion to get a good night’s rest and feel calmer.

It would be years before I actually understood why the play made an impact so deep that it deserved to be captured on celluloid forever.

The exercise that I would suggest is to go to the garden or your balcony or even your window early in the morning and face the sun. Close your eyes and let the sun-rays enter your body. Visualize the rays are directly coming into your body through your third-eye area and filling your body with energy and strengthening your aura.

Make it more interesting by using your affirmations or favourite mantra.

Try it for size and see what a difference it makes to your day!

Ratha Saptami

(Sanskrit: रथसप्तमी or Magha Saptami) is a Hindu festival that falls on the seventh day (Saptami) in the bright half (Shukla Paksha) of the Hindu month Maagha.[2] It marks the seventh day following the Sun’s northerly movement (Uttarayana) of vernal equinox starting from Capricorn (Makara). It is symbolically represented in the form of the Sun God Surya turning his Ratha (Chariot) drawn by seven horses (representing seven colours) towards the northern hemisphere, in a north-easterly direction. It also marks the birth of Surya and hence celebrated as Surya Jayanti (the Sun-god’s birthday).

Ratha Saptami is symbolic of the change of season to spring and the start of the harvesting season. For most Indian farmers, it is an auspicious beginning of the New Year. The festival is observed by all Hindus in their houses and in innumerable temples dedicated to Surya, across India
