The story takes place during the legendary Ramayan era, specifically during Ram's ultimate battle with Ravana.
Lord Ram is said to have done everything in his power to defeat and slay Ravana, but in vain. Lord Rama was upset and concerned over his failure to slay his foe, as well as fatigued and disappointed.
He prayed to his best throughout this exciting time. As lord Rama did so, Agastya, the wise sage, appeared right in front of him. He came with the intention of resurrecting Rama. He then instructed him to recite the Aditya Hridaya Stotra and pray to Lord Surya. He felt revitalised, strong, and ready for the decisive battle as he did so.
Sri Govindaraja, a well-known Ramayana interpreter, characterises the Aditya Hrudayam as "The Prayer that Pleases the Heart of Lord Aditya" – Aditya Manah-Prasadakam Ityarthah.
As previously indicated, there are 31 slokas in this composition, the first 30 of which are written in the popular 32-syllabled metre known as the Anushtup Chandas. The text follows a precise flow and organisation, with the slokas arranged in the following order:
Only things that benefit us are of interest to us as humans. The aditya hridaya stotra, on the other hand, has a slew of advantages and benefits. However, we've chosen a few of the Strotam and Phalstuti's traits to highlight:
· The Strota assists you in being successful in your career and the endeavours, thanks to the Lord Surya's blessings.
· It also aids in the forgetting of your troubles and the concerns.
· It encourages you to be brave in your life and endeavours.
· Furthermore, reciting the Aditya Hridaya Stotra uplifts you and protects you from terrible misery during trying times.
· It frees you from self-doubt and cleanses you of your misdeeds.
· The Aditya hridaya stotra also bestows prosperity and the clarity.
· The Strota instils in you a sense of self-assurance and the drive.
· Finally, it keeps you disease-free and aids in the treatment of a number of serious disorders.
The glories of Surya recorded in the Stotram show how our civilization worships the Sun as the prime cause of life on Earth.
We can observe how Lord Aditya is credited with all natural phenomena. This is seen in the hymn's opening section, when Agastya associates Lord Surya with the majority of the other devas, coupling opposing forces like Yama (Death) and Soma (Rejuvenation), Pitrs (the dead) and Vasus (natural forces), Vayu (wind) and Vahni (fire), and so on. He is credited with creating the seasons, as well as cold and heat, day and night, rain and shine, and so on.
The ancients were also aware of the earth's rotation and revolution around the Sun, the tilt of the earth's axis towards and away from the Sun (which causes seasonal change), the rain cycle, and the evolution of a star system, according to the findings (and its eventual dissolution in the same star). A thorough reading of the Stotram by the reader may reveal even more intriguing facts.
