“Om Sūryadevaya Namaha” is a Sanskrit mantra meaning “Salutations to the Sun God.” In Hindu tradition, the Sun is not just a source of physical light—it’s a symbol of divine presence, clarity, and life itself. People chant this mantra in morning prayers, yoga practices, and rituals to invite inner illumination and strength.
The artwork captures a deeper truth behind this simple prayer: even in times of darkness, the light hasn’t disappeared—it’s just hidden. The rain may fall, the clouds may gather, but the Sun is still there, waiting to break through. In Vedantic terms, this reflects our own experience. When we forget our true nature, it can feel like we’re lost in shadow. But the Self—the pure light of consciousness—is never gone. It simply waits for recognition. Like the Sun behind the clouds, it is always shining.
