Why Is Jal (Water) Offered to Surya Bhagwan (Sun)?
Our body has a great need for colors, as these are vital for the well-being of the different parts of our body system. It may surprise many to know that several parts of the human body have different

colors. Our nerves are blue, the heart is red, kidneys & pancreas are brownish, the bones are white, & the brain nerves are in rainbow colors.
The rays of the sun are white, but when passed through a medium, they get broken into their basic hues. When we offer water or jal in the

morning to the rising sun in the prescribed manner, the sheet of water falling on to the ground works as a medium to split the sun’s rays into a spectrum of colors & enters our body to benefit us. If you wish to offer water to the sun, you must do it in the correct & prescribed

manner. Stand facing the Sun with a vessel full of water. Hold the vessel at a level between the sun & your eyes. Then pour out the water slowly to the ground, allowing the sun’s rays to pass through the sheet of water falling on the ground. The rays of the sun, while passing

through the offered water, will break into their basic colors & fall on the face & thus enter the body of the person offering the water to benefit him spiritually as well as physically. However, some people hold the view that the water vessel should be held at chest level.

Receiving solar energy in this manner taps a natural source of Mother Nature for our benefit, with no side effects. Hindu scriptures state that the ultraviolet rays of the sun destroy the bacteria of several deadly diseases. Therefore, while offering water, a mantra is uttered:

"Om Rogiam Vinashaya Dev Jyoti Namaste"
Besides curing & warding off diseases, one improves ones eyesight too by worshiping Surya Bhagwan. Astrologically, the Sun is symbolic of one’s
eyes, soul & father. Therefore, offering water to Surya mitigates past life karma, ill deeds

done against one’s father, enhances eyesight & elevates one spiritually.
Om Suryah Namah 🙏
