The grand festival of Chhath is dedicated to the worship of the Sun God, holding immense spiritual significance. During the four-day celebrations, devotees offer arghya to the setting sun on the third day. Engaging in certain specific practices during this evening ritual is traditionally believed to invite the blessings of the Sun God and fortify a weak sun in an individual's astrological chart.
Special Copper Remedies During Evening Arghya
According to traditional beliefs, individuals struggling with a weak sun in their horoscope can perform a unique remedy while offering the evening arghya on the third day of Chhath. Alongside placing fruits and the traditional thekua inside the bamboo basket, one should keep a copper coin or a small copper vessel. After offering water to the setting sun, donating jaggery, wheat, and copper items to someone in need is considered auspicious.
Enhancing Career and Social Standing
This particular ritual involving the donation of copper and wheat is associated with ambitions of achieving high status, reputation, and securing government jobs. Furthermore, it is believed to bring relief and healing to strained relationships between fathers and children.
Indications of a Weak Sun
Astrological texts note that a afflicted or weak sun in a birth chart often manifests as a loss of respect and honor in society, continuous hurdles in government-related paperwork, and ideological differences with one's father. Concerns related to children are also considered part of these astrological signs.
Remedies for Surya Grahan Yoga
For those diagnosed with a sun eclipse alignment in their chart, specific remedial steps are recommended. These include offering water to the Sun daily, reciting the Adityahridaya Stotram, and observing fasts on Sundays or Ekadashi. Additionally, traditions involve waving six coconuts over one's head before flowing them into a water body, along with donating wheat, jaggery, and copper.
