Surya ke Upay
remedies for Sun
Mantra, daan, vrat, ratna, rudraksha and the Lal Kitab upay for Surya in each bhava, each with the reason it is given.
These are suggestions, not prescriptions. The tradition turns to them when Surya is weak or troubled in a kundli, or when its dasha or a hard transit is running. Your kundli says which applies to you.
Beej mantra
The graha’s seed sound. Chanted with a steady count, it is the oldest way to strengthen what Surya stands for: self-respect, authority and the father. Begin on Sunday and keep the same time and count each day until the full count is done.
ॐ ह्रां ह्रीं ह्रौं सः सूर्याय नमः
Om Hraam Hreem Hraum Sah Suryaya Namah
Name mantra
A short mantra of Surya’s own name, for those who would rather pray than count. Surya is worshipped as Lord Surya himself.
ॐ सूर्याय नमः
Om Suryaya Namah · 108 times
Daan
Give what belongs to Surya, on its day, to someone who needs it. Lal Kitab and the Parashari tradition both count it the gentlest upay.
Vrat
A fast on Sunday, kept for Surya or Shiva, steadies the mind and eases Surya’s troubles.
Ratna
A ratna strengthens Surya, so it helps only when Surya is good for your lagna, that is, when it rules houses that work well for that lagna. Wear it only after the kundli is checked: for some lagnas the same stone does harm.
Rudraksha
A rudraksha carries none of a ratna’s risk; it is worn to keep Surya calm and steady. A bead’s deity goes with its mukhi (the number of lines), so it can differ from the deity worshipped for Surya above.

Lal Kitab upay, bhava by bhava
