The #solareclipse today was part of the Metonic series of eclipses & 21 such eclipses are on course between June 21, 1982 to June 21, 2058. 21 June generally is the longest day in the Northern Hemisphere & the shortest day in the Southern (Solistices).

As it also happens to be #fathersday2020, dad advised to recite Aditya Hridayam Strotam today to find composure. It can be found in the Yudha Kanda of the Valmiki Ramayana and was recited by Sage Agatsya to Lord Ram in the battlefield before fighting Ravana.

#Surya, Vishnu, Shiva, Shakti, & Ganesha are worshipped by a group of Brahmans, the Smartas, but only a small group, the Saura sect, worship Surya as the supreme deity. He is, however, invoked by most Hindus, using the Gayatri mantra. He is the ultimate truth.

Surya represents Dharma as we see it. So many Brahmins always take #Surya as a witness while indulging in Marriage (Deva Vivah), or Bratopanyanan. His kids are Shani, Yama, Karna amongst others, who are famous for upliftment of Dharma. #solareclipse #SolarEclipsejune2020

The chariot of Surya consists of seven horses and he is believed to ride on light. Incidentally the famous Konark Temple is built as a chariot of Sun with horses and wheels. The name Konarka itself means 'kona' (angle) and 'arka' (sun). #solareclipse #SolarEclipsejune2020 #Odisha
