Apart from the names of the Dwadasha (twelve) Adityas, Lord Sri Surya Deva (The Sun God) has twelve other (unique) names as well as given below:
Aditya, Savita, Surya, Mihira, Arka, Prabhakara, Martanda, Bhaskara, Bhanu, Chitrabhanu, Divakara and Ravi.
Lord Surya and his family information is as given below:
Lord Sri Surya Deva (The Sun God) was married to Sanjya or Samajna or Sharanya) and she is the daughter of the Vishwakarma.
[Vishwakarma is the Deva Shilpi, that is, he is the architect / engineer of the Devatas (Demigods).]
What are the names of Surya Putras (sons) (children)? : Lord Sri Surya Deva (The Sun God) and Sanjya had two sons. The first son was Vaivasvata Manu and the second son was Lord Sri Yama Deva (Also called as Shraddhadeva), the god of death.
And also Lord Sri Surya Deva (The Sun God) and Sanjya had daughter called Yami (Yamuna – The River). She is the twin sister of Lord Sri Yama Deva.
Lord Sri Surya Deva’s tejas (brightness) was so strong that Sanjya could not bear to look at her husband.
Through Sanjya’s powers, she created an image from her own body that looked exactly like her. This image was called Chhaya (shadow).
Sanjya told Chhaya, “I cannot bear the tejas (brightness) of my husband. I am going off to my father’s home“.
“You stay here, pretend to be Sanjya and look after my children. Under no circumstances tell anyone, certainly not my husband, that you are not Sanjya.”
“I will do as you have asked me to“, replied Chhaya. “But the moment someone curses me or pulls me by the hair, I shall be forced to reveal the truth” Chhaya added.
Sanjna went to her father Vishvakarma home and told him what she had done. Vishvakarma kept asking her to return to her husband. But this Sanjna refused to do all the time.
Instead, Sanjya went to the land known as ‘Uttara Kuru‘ and started to live there as a mare (adult female horse).
Meanwhile, Lord Sri Surya Deva (The Sun God), who had not realized that Sanjya had been replaced by Chhaya, had two sons through Chhaya.
Both Lord Sri Surya Deva (The Sun God) and Chhaya children names are ‘Savarni Manu‘ and Lord Sri Shani Deva (Planet Saturn).
As soon as her own children were born, Chhaya no longer displayed as much of love for Sanjya’s children as she used to do. Vaivasvata Manu was a quiet sort of person and he ignored the implied neglect.
But Lord Sri Yama Deva was not that tolerant. Besides, he was also younger. He raised his leg to kick Chhaya. At this, Chhaya cursed Lord Sri Yama Deva that his legs would fall off.
Lord Sri Yama Deva went and complained to Lord Sri Surya Deva (The Sun God). “I have not really kicked her“, Lord Sri Yama Deva said.
“I only threatened to. And does a mother ever curse her children?“, Lord Sri Yama Deva added.
“I can’t undo the curse“, replied Lord Sri Surya Deva (The Sun God). “At best, I can reduce its severity. Your legs will not actually fall off. Some of the flesh from your legs will fall off onto the earth and create worms. Thereby, you will be freed of your curse.“
But nevertheless, Lord Sri Surya Deva (The Sun God) felt that there was some truth in Lord Sri Yama Deva’s asking whether a mother would ever curse her children.
Lord Sri Surya Deva (The Sun God) taxed Chhaya with the truth. But Chhaya would not reveal anything.
Lord Sri Surya Deva (The Sun God) then grasped her by the hair and threatened to curse her. Since her conditions were now violated, Chhaya blurted out the truth.
In an extremely angry mood, Lord Sri Surya Deva (The Sun God) dashed off to Vishvakarma’s house. Vishvakarma tried to cool him down.
“It is all because of your excess energy that this has happened“, exclaimed Vishvakarma. “If you permit, I will shave off some of the extra energy. Then Sanjya will be able to look at you.“
Lord Sri Surya Deva (The Sun God) agreed to this proposition. With the shaved off energy, Vishvakarma manufactured Lord Sri Vishnu’s chakra called as “Sudarshana Chakra” (a weapon like a bladed discus).
Lord Sri Surya Deva (The Sun God) found out that Sanjya was in ‘Uttara Kuru’ in the form of mare (female horse). He joined her there in the form of a Stallion (male horse).
As horses, Lord Sri Surya Deva (The Sun God) and Sanjya had two sons namely ‘Nasatya and Dasra‘.
Since ashva means horse in Sanskrit, the sons were also known as the two Ashvini Kumaras (Kumars) and became the ‘physicians of the Devatas (Demigods)‘.
[Note : These same Nasatya and Dasra were born as Meinda and Dvivida during the Treta Yuga (Ramayana) period and served Lord Sri Rama in the army of monkeys.]
[Similarly both Nasatya and Dasra were again reborn as Nakula and Sahadeva during the Dwapara Yuga (Mahabharata) period and served Lord Sri Krishna as the brothers of Pandavas.]
Lord Sri Surya Deva (The Sun God) and Sanjya then gave up their equine forms and lived happily ever after.
Information about the temple Konark (Konarka) in relation to Lord Surya (Sun God) is as given below:
There is a Mahasamudram (huge ocean) towards the south of India. On the shores of this great ocean, there is a land named Ondra or Utkala (present Odisha).
Utkala is populated by dharmatmas (people who follow Dharma) and the brahmanas (brahmins) who live there are learned in the Vedas.
They are very good brahmanas (bramins), learned in the Puranas and the Shastras (Hindu Texts) and skilled in the art of tyagams.
In the land of Utkala, there is an image of the Lord Sri Surya Deva (The Sun God) known as ‘Konaditya (कोनादित्य) (kōnāditya)‘ (read as Konaaditya).
The word Aditya also means the Sun, as does the word Arka (also means a tree – Calotropis gigantea).
Thus, Konaditya is the same as Konarka (Konark), a corruption of the latter word being Konaraka / Konarka / Konark. [Konaditya = Konarka = Konark = Kona + Arka (Ark)]
The image of Konaditya is so wonderful that even if one sees at the pratima (statue), that person’s sins will be forgiven.
All around the temple there is sand. But nevertheless, many trees grow around the temple.
The best time to worship the Lord Sri Surya Deva (Surya Bhagavan) (The Sun God) there, is at the time of Suryodayam (Sunrise).
One has to face towards east and draw a lotus flower on the ground with red sandalwood. The lotus flower must have exactly eight petals.
A copper vessel has to be placed at the centre of the flower and filled with paddy, sesame, water, sandalwood, red flowers and sacred grass.
One prays to Lord Sri Surya Deva (The Sun God) to descend on the lotus flower that has thus been drawn.
If one worships Konaditya according to these prescribed rites, the sins of seven preceding generations are forgiven.
