Bhanu Saptami December 2024: Observing the Bhanu Saptami fast is highly beneficial for strengthening the Sun in one's horoscope. This special fast will be observed today, December 8.
Bhanu Saptami 2024: In Hinduism, there are many fasts and festivals throughout the year. One such significant event is Bhanu Saptami, which occurs when Sunday falls on the seventh day of the lunar calendar. Currently, the month of Agahan (Margashirsha) is ongoing, and the seventh day of the waxing moon in this month, December 8, marks the celebration of Bhanu Saptami. It is believed that anyone who observes a fast and worships Lord Surya on this day will be relieved from all kinds of hardships and diseases.
Bhanu Saptami is also known as Surya Saptami, Achala Saptami, Surya Rath Saptami, Rath Saptami, and Arogya Saptami. Those whose horoscopes indicate malefic effects of the Sun should worship Lord Surya and recite Aditya Hridaya Stotra after the prayer. By the grace of Surya Dev, a person is blessed with long life, health, wealth, fame, knowledge, and the support of children, friends, and spouse.
Praying to the rising Sun or offering water to it increases self-confidence and brings positive energy. On the seventh day, worshipping and offering water to the Sun removes ailments. In the Bhagavata Purana, Lord Krishna explained the importance of Sun worship to his son. Krishna said that the Sun is a visible deity, meaning one can witness it daily. According to the Puranas, those who worship the Sun on this day will be healed of all their ailments. Worshiping with devotion fulfills all desires and grants divine knowledge. According to scriptures, when the Sun is weak in a person's horoscope, it leads to eye problems, bone diseases, skin issues, weak willpower, and strained relationships with the father. For such individuals, Sun worship is highly beneficial. To overcome eye ailments, one should recite the Chaksushopanishad daily.
