January 25 brings a divine double-header for spiritual enthusiasts: Bhanu Saptami dedicated to Surya Narayan and the pivotal seventh day of Magha’s Gupta Navratri. This Shukla Saptami Sunday in Magha is primed for transformative worship.
Known as Ravi Saptami on Sundays, Bhanu Saptami is a solar spectacle. Texts proclaim its pujas grant abundance, vitality, professional triumphs, and liberation from sufferings—physical or emotional.
Gupta Navratri’s austere observances in the bright fortnight draw tantra adepts seeking Devi’s covert graces. Sunday’s Bhanu overlay supercharges the sanctity, making it a pinnacle of punya.
Commence with snana, offer Sun arghya using lal chandan, roli, red petals, jaggery, chawal, jal. Chant ‘Om Hram Hreem Hroum Sah Suryaya Namah’, ‘Ghrini Suryaya Namah’, ‘Surya Devatabhyam Namah’ 108+ times. Donate gud, gehu, red attire, or tamba for multiplied merits.
Devotees report Bhanu Saptami ignites life force, boosts careers, heals ailments, and invites positivity. Synergized with Navratri sadhana, it awakens twin powers of light and shakti.
Drik Panchang notes: Saptami till 11:10 PM. Revati to 1:35 PM, then Ashwini. Moon in Pisces. Sunrise 7:13 AM, sunset 5:54 PM.
Muhurat mastery is key. Dodge inauspicious slots: Rahu Kaal 4:34-5:54 PM, Yamaganda 12:34-1:54 PM, Gulika 3:14-4:34 PM. Opt for Brahma Muhurta 5:26-6:19 AM, Abhijit 12:12-12:55 PM.
Seize this Sunday to harness heavenly energies for enduring success and serenity.
