Chhath Puj - Celebrated in devotion to Surya, the Sun God, this ancient Vedic ritual goes beyond just a festival. It's a deeply spiritual practice that recognizes the cosmic changes happening during this time, especially as the sun begins its transition towards the southern hemisphere.

Chhath is celebrated to express gratitude towards the Sun for sustaining life on Earth. For those in sadhana, the Sun represents not only physical energy but the source of all life force (prana). The sun governs our health, vitality, and consciousness. Offering yourself to the setting and rising sun symbolizes our recognition of this ever-present cosmic energy and its impact on human life.

During Chhath, there are subtle shifts in the environment and cosmic alignments. For those into sadhana, these changes can significantly enhance their experience of inner energy. 
The practice of fasting and being in tune with nature helps balance the body’s pranic energies, especially in the digestive and solar plexus regions. The exposure to natural elements like water, sunlight, and air during this time can be particularly beneficial for those deeply involved in spiritual practices, creating a conducive environment for growth and transformation.

In yogic tradition, the Sun is much more than a celestial body. It is the source of life and vitality. The practice of Surya Namaskar/Surya Kriya acknowledges the sun’s role in energizing our physical and subtle bodies. Regular connection with the sun can enhance one's spiritual growth, and during Chhath, this connection is heightened, making it a powerful time for yogic practices.

How has your experience been during Chhath Puja? 
Share your sadhana, Chhath Puja pictures, and rituals you follow apart from your regular practices, especially if you're from  Bihar or celebrating these rituals. 
Have you noticed any specific changes in your energy or sadhana during this time?
