Benefits of chanting Aditya Hridayam

The Aditya Hridayama is a sacred hymn taught by Rishi Agastya to Lord Rama before the final battle with Ravana. It is said that Rama was feeling exhausted by the strain of the prolonged battle whereas Ravana was as energetic as ever, thanks to the pot of nectar hidden in his belly. Lord Agastya tells Rama to chant the hymn while meditating on the heart of the Sun to regain his sagging spirit. Lord Rama gains victory over Ravana in the battle that ensued.

The benefits of chanting the Aditya Hridayam are: victory over external enemies (foes) and internal enemies (weaknesses such as lust, anger, jealousy etc.), long life and good health, destruction of sins, dissolution of worries and anxeity, long lasting prosperity and auspicious qualities.

Request our priests to perform the parayanam of Aditya Hridayam for you.
