Re: Is devotion to Surya possible?
Namaste Aseeker108,
A devout person I know offers the fruits of all his meditation and yogic practices that he performs everyday to Surya deva. He thinks Surya is the most selfless in that he performs his daily routine of illuminating the Universe every single day and also, in the most unfailing manner.
Surya is the guru of Lord Hanuman. If you pray to Surya deva, he, being the embodiment of gnana/knowledge, will bless you with the same, quite immensely. Even in jyotish, Surya is the embodiment of all knowledge.
In the path of Smartism established by Adi Sankara, 5 deities are worshiped daily and one of them is Surya.
Worship of Sun / Surya is termed 'Sauram' and it is one of the 6 paths of worshiping Saguna Brahmam (god with attributes). Thus, Surya worship is in place already as one of the 'Shanmatha' (6-fold paths).
You might explore of 'Panchayathana Puja' or 'Sauram' especially for further guidance.
