tat tvaṁ pūṣan āpāvṛṇu satyadharmāya dṛṣṭaye (15)
Like a lid to a vessel, O Sun, your Golden orb covers the entrance to Truth. Kindly open thay entrance, to lead me to Truth.

Sun (Soorya-Ravi) I pray to the Sun, the day-maker,

Surya Siddhanta
The Surya Siddhanta is the name of a Sanskrit treatise in Indian astronomy from the late 4th-century or early 5th-century CE. The Surya Siddhanta describes rules to calculate the motions of various planets and the moon relative to various constellations, diameters of various planets, and calculates the orbits of various astronomical bodies
Swami Vivekananda’s quotes
1. How are we to know a teacher, then? The sun requires no torch to make him visible, we need not light a candle in order to see him. When the sun rises, we instinctively become aware of the fact, and when a teacher of men comes to help us, the soul will instinctively know that truth has already begun to shine upon it
2. Take up an idea, devote yourself to it, struggle on in patience, and the sun will rise for you.
The powers of the mind are like the rays of the sun when they are concentrated, they illumine
