Surya Mantra

The Surya Mantra influences not only The Sun, but all cosmic sound vibrations of all the planets.

Each planet also has its own mantra. This is one of the direct ways to energize and balance the planets with ourselves.

When repeating planetary mantras, it must be done with the highest intention, awareness, and concentration. By giving reverence to the planets in this way, they will give blessings to us.

In yoga and astrology, we recognize that each mantra for the planets convey the qualities of those planets they correspond to.

We should seek spiritual and uplifting goals through these mantras and what is good for all, and not individual mundane "stuff."

Using these power mantras is a deep way for increasing our inner growth. It is only when we have manifested the higher attributes of the planetary energies that we become free of them.

A great astrologer said:
