Dear BhAgavathAs, This is AdiYen's thoughts about SriRamAvatharam and in particular Sri Adityahrudayam.Kindly correct me if I am wrong. In the entire Sri RAmAvatharam our Lord declared 'AtmAnam manusham manye' and he set a example to all 'manushyas' as to how exactly one should lead his life strictly according to the Dharma. We have to take the incidence of SriRama taking upadesham from Rishi Agastyar and chanting Adityahrudayam in this sense. The Sun-God 'Surya' gives us heat and light through which we are able to see and understand and perform karma in this world.Without him our Eye's are useless.In the same way in our hearts (hrudayam) we have our Lord shining with 'Koti surya prabham'.Just like our eyes utterly depends on Aditya to see and understand the world We Jiva's and also the Achit vastusamooham utterly depends on the antaryami paramAtman.So by chanting Aditya hrudayam and worshiping Surya- Narayanan we are actually glorifying our own Perumal who is shining like a Koti-Adityan in our own hearts. Asmath hrudaye Aditya iva BhAsate iti Adityahrudayam. If one does Aditya hrudayam parayanam visualising Lord Sri Narayanan as the real Adityan situated in our hrudayam it will be a great Anubhavam.
