We should celebrate the Aditya Festival, the 12 ancient winter solstice days, from 21st December to 1st January, to commemorate the trail of Aditya due to slow shift in the Winter Solstice Day (1 degree shift in the earth's sky every 72 years) due to the precession of the equinox
As mentioned in the quoted Rgvedic verses, the Adityas were originally seven:- Varuna, Mitra, Aryaman, Daksha, Bhaga, Amsha and Savitar. The eighth one is Maarthaanda, the sun-god, also known as Vivasvan, Vivasvat and Surya.

We fast for many reasons . A personal wish being fulfilled & we are thankful to the Lord / to please the Lord / for personal spiritual beliefs or by force ( family pressure) . But do we know the real significance behind fasting ? Why our ancestors fasted often? +

In Sanskrit ,fasting is called "Upavaasa" .
Upa = near + vaasa = to stay .
Thereby Upavaasa means staying near the Lord .
Ie - Attaining close mental proximity with the Lord .
But then what connection does Upavaasa have with proximity to the Lord ? +
