Facts behind the ritual Ardhya

Many of us know that there is a ritual of giving ARDHYA to Surya daily and also in festivals like MAKAR SANKRANTI, KUMBH MELA, CHHATH.
But do u really know what is the reason behind this spiritual process?
Let me tell u the secret behind why and how saints connected this to our life by using basics of PHYSICS and BIOLOGY.

The basic idea behind ARDHYA is the phenomena of dispersion (PHYSICS) and Chakras, Kundalini Jagran(Meditation and Biology).

What is the dispersion? Dispersion is the phenomena in which white light is distributed in bands of different wavelengths.

What are Chakras? Chakras, in Hindu metaphysical tradition and other belief systems, are centres of Prana, life force, or vital energy. Chakras correspond to vital points in the physical body i.e. major plexuses of arteries, veins and nerves.
There are 21 chakras in our body, of which 7 are major. Their details are on the pic given below.

Ritual Ardhya

What is Kundalini Jagran? In yoga, a "corporeal energy", an unconscious, instinctive or libidinal force or Shakti, lies coiled at the base of spine i.e. in Mooladhar Chakra envisioned as a goddess or sleeping serpent. It is reported that Kundalini awakening results in deep meditation, enlightenment and bliss.

When we give Ardhya to Surya, the solar rays are dispersed into VIBGYOR and fall upon
these chakras in the order they are,i.e. Sahasrara receives Voilet, Ajna receives
Indigo , Vishuddha receives Blue and so on... When these chakras receive the light of their vital form, they are enlightened. One by one enlightenment of these chakras helps in KUNDALINI JAGRAN. Which in turn improves overall health and concentration.

2. Don't look directly towards Sun this may affect ur retina.
3. With Copper or Brass utensil filled with pure water, offer water to the Sun make sure utensil'S position is above the head.
