Aditya Hrudhayam Mantra for Mental and Physical Strength

This Mantra or Stotram is dedicated to the Sun god or Surya dev. It’s, in fact, a thanksgiving gesture to the Sun god who sustains life on earth. It is believed to energize the chanter physically and mentally. It has been mentioned in the Yuddha Kanda section of Valmiki’s Ramayana. The Stotram was recited by Sage Agasthya to Lord Rama before he waged war against Ravana, the demon king, who had kidnapped his wife, Sita. By chanting the Mantra, he developed the much-needed mental and physical strength to overcome his enemy. It is also said to enhance immunity and boost morale during hard times. It can give one the confidence to overcome challenges and achieve goals.
