In Hinduism, Surya Dev is considered to be an eye of the Virata Purusha, or the Vishwarupa (Universal Form) of Lord Sri Krishna himself. Surya is worshipped by people, saints, and even demons (asuras).
Surya had 3 queens, namely, Sharanya, Ragyi and Prabha. Sharanya was the mother of Vaivasvata Manu and the twins Yama (the God of Death) and his sister Yami. Later, she also gave birth to the Ashvin twins, the divine horsemen, and physicians to the Devas.
Surya Deva’s sons, Shani and Yama, are the judges of human life and karma. While Shani Deva bestows positive or negative results for one’s deeds committed during one’s lifetime, Yama Deva grants these results after one’s death. Yamuna (Daughter of Surya) is also known as Yami and Kalindi. Yamuna is a symbol of purity and is associated with the river Yamuna, which is considered a river of heaven. The Yamuna is one of the seven sacred rivers in the Rig Veda.
In Astrology, Surya is the ultimate source of life and energy. The Sun thus represents the soul, vitality, courage, willpower, authority, and royalty.
His position is exalted in Mesha or Aries and takes a backward position/debilitated in Tula or Libra. The best location for Surya is considered to be right overhead, on the 10th house and the 1st, 5th, and 9th houses.
Surya is the Lord of Krittika, Uttara Phalguni and Uttara Ashadha.
