Āditya Hṛdayam
Āditya Hṛdayam is a powerful hymn to the Sun, revealed by Sage Agastya to Lord Rāma on the battlefield during the climactic moment of the Yuddha Kāṇḍa of the Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa. Exhausted and momentarily weighed down by the intensity of the battle with the demon king Rāvaṇa, Rāma receives this sacred teaching as a source of renewed strength and clarity.
