The First Sunday of February: Perform This Special Surya Puja Today for the Blessings of Wealth and Optimal Health

New Delhi, February 1, 2026: Today marks the first day of February, and auspiciously, it falls on a Sunday. Worshiping the Sun God on a Sunday during the holy month of Magh is believed to bestow "Akshaya Punya" (everlasting merit). According to Vedic astrology, the Sun is the significator of the Soul and Health. Today's special prayers not only protect you from ailments but also enhance your status and prestige in society.

Why is Surya Puja Special Today?

Lord Surya is considered a 'Pratyaksha Devta' (the visible God). During the month of Magh, the sun's rays are believed to be infused with medicinal properties. Today is also celebrated as "Arogya Ravivar" (Health Sunday). If the Sun is weak in your horoscope or if you suffer from frequent illnesses, today is nothing short of a divine boon for you.

Special Rituals for Wealth and Health:

1. The Rule of Arghya: At sunrise, take water in a copper vessel. Add red sandalwood, red flowers, and a few grains of Akshat (unbroken rice). Offer this water to the Sun while chanting the mantra: "Om Ghrini Suryaya Namah."

2. Aditya Hridaya Stotra: If you seek victory over adversaries and success in your career, reciting the Aditya Hridaya Stotra today is highly recommended.

3. Donation of Red Items: Donating jaggery (Gur), red clothes, or copper utensils today is considered extremely auspicious. This ritual is believed to alleviate financial hardships.

4. Giving Up Salt: For health benefits, it is advised to abstain from salt in your meals today or observe a fruit-only fast for one time.

Sun Mantras to Transform Your Life:

• For Health: "Om Hraam Hreem Hroum Sah Suryaya Namah"

• For Success: "Om Suryaya Namah"
