Many parts of the country are celebrating harvest festivals that are scientifically linked to the change of seasons governed by the Sun's movement. It is perhaps the right time to know about the Sun-god #Surya.
The worship of Sun-god was not restricted to Indian sub-continent alone but was spread over the ancient world - He was called #Apollo in #GreekMythology and the cult of #Sol Invictus was extremely popular in ancient Rome. The Mayans called him #Hunahpu, Aztecs named him #Tonatiuh, Japanese revered him as #Chupkamui, Babylonians called him Aja & Egyptians worshipped him as #Ra.
Clearly, the ancient civilizations realized much better than us how important the Sun was for life on this planet even if we, knowing all the scientific facts, seem to have forgotten it!
