Sun Remedies: Surya Graha Dosha Astrological Remedies.. In Vedic astrology, the Sun (Surya) represents the soul (Atman), vitality, father, authority, leadership, and self-confidence. A strong Sun brings success and vitality, while a weak or afflicted Sun can cause lack of confidence, health issues (eyes, bones, heart), or strained relations with authority and father figures.
Daily Morning Rituals

Surya Arghya: Offer water to the rising Sun every morning within one hour of sunrise using a copper vessel (Lotā). Mix a pinch of red sandalwood powder or vermilion (Kumkum) and a few red flowers or grains of whole rice (Akshata) into the water.
-
Sun Salutations: Practice Surya Namaskar facing east during morning sunlight to strengthen physical vitality and bone health.

Surya Beej Mantra: Chant “Om Hraam Hreem Hroum Sah Suryaya Namah” 108 times daily or especially on Sunday mornings using a Rudraksha or red sandalwood mala.
