Hence Gayatri Mantra is considered the heartbeat of Sanatana Dharma.
2️⃣ Brihati : Symbol of expansion and vastness.
It represents the boundless sky and the unlimited reach of the Sun’s rays.
3️⃣ Ushnik : The warmth of the morning sun.
Represents vitality, energy, and new beginnings.
Just like sunrise gives us hope, Ushnik energizes life.
4️⃣ Jagati : The Earthly rhythm.
Jagati connects cosmic energy to human life, ensuring harmony between man and nature.
5️⃣ Tristap : The fire within.
It symbolizes courage, strength, and the power of transformation….. As Surya burns, Tristap purifies.
6️⃣ Anustup : The poetic balance of the Vedas.
It’s the meter of Mahabharata & Ramayana shlokas.
Symbolizing discipline, order, and dharmic living.
7️⃣ Pankti : The horse of completion.
It represents abundance, prosperity, and fullness of life.
The cycle of energy that comes back to nourish creation.
Thus, the 7 horses of Surya are not just mythology.
They are cosmic vibrations, Vedic rhythms, and spiritual energies that sustain the universe.
