2024, The Cosmic Origin and Age of the Sun: A Spiritual Perspective (सूर्य की आयु कितनी है? Age of SUN, What is Source of Sun's Power? सूर्य और नारायण का संबंध)

What is the origin of our Sun? How old is the Sun that we see today? What is its age? This article presents a profound spiritual explanation of the origin, purpose, and age of the Sun within the framework of cosmic time and divine roles.

According to this spiritual understanding, in the first Parat (cosmic phase) of creation, the Sun was directly created by Vishnu. The Sun is considered a direct creation of Vishnu. That is why it is called Surya Narayan — “Narayan” meaning Vishnu. The Sun is not just a star but a divine manifestation.

The Divine Creation of Surya Narayan

During the first 10 years of Brahma (cosmic time), there was no need for the Sun. But after Brahma completed 10 cosmic years, circumstances changed. It is said that the Supreme Being manifested as deities, and from deities beings descended into human form. As consciousness declined, Earth was created, and humans came to Earth.

At that time, the Earth was in darkness. Since Vishnu’s duty is palana (sustenance and preservation), he created from within himself a divine cell — a fragment of Param Tattva (Supreme Element), specifically a cell of Param Agni (Supreme Fire). From this supreme fire-element, he created Surya Narayan and instructed him:

“Go and illuminate the Earth.”

At that time, there was only one Surya Narayan Devata, who began producing fire-element (Agni Tattva), which means light. The soul of Surya Narayan is described as a cell of Supreme Fire — not merely supreme light, but supreme fire itself. This was a direct creation of Vishnu.

Understanding Cosmic Time

One year of Brahma equals 31 trillion 10 billion 400 million human years (31,10,40,00,00,00,000 years). After Brahma’s first 10 years, the Sun became necessary. A full lifespan of Brahma equals 100 Brahma years.

If we calculate from Brahma’s 40 years (after the first 10), the Sun’s age is described as approximately:

1,12,40,000 billion years (1 lakh 24 thousand billion years) in this cosmological framework.

There are infinite universes (Anant Koti Brahmand), and therefore infinite Suns. Each universe has its own lifespan, approximately 100 years of Brahma.

• First 10 years: No Sun required

• After that: Creation by Brahma

• Sustenance by Vishnu

• Dissolution by Shankar

Whenever Vishnu’s role of preservation becomes necessary, Surya Narayan is manifested. Unlike Earth, which is destroyed during each Kalpa Pralaya (cosmic dissolution), the Sun does not simply change in the same way. During dissolution, Vishnu enters the Sun and multiplies its radiance twelvefold. With the power of twelve Suns, the three worlds are burned and reduced to ashes.

Infinite Universes, Infinite Suns

Spiritual cosmology speaks of Anant Koti Brahmand — infinite universes.

Each universe has:

• Its own Brahma

• Its own cycle of creation, preservation, and dissolution

• Its own Sun

Thus, there are infinite Suns across infinite universes, each functioning within its own cosmic timeline.

The Role of the Sun During Dissolution

Unlike Earth, which is destroyed during every Kalpa Pralaya (cosmic dissolution), the Sun does not simply vanish.

During dissolution:

• Vishnu enters the Sun.

• The radiance increases twelvefold.

• The power of twelve Suns burns the three worlds.

• All realms are reduced to ashes.

This is not ordinary fire — it is the manifestation of Param Agni.

The Spiritual Meaning of Surya

“Surya” means “the one who illuminates.”

But spiritually, illumination is not only physical light. It symbolizes:

• Awakening of consciousness

• Dispelling of ignorance

• Sustenance of life

• Divine preservation

Surya Narayan is therefore not just an astronomical body, but a divine instrument of cosmic balance.

Practical Reflection

This knowledge is described as: Deep, Experiential, Realized through spiritual awarenes It invites contemplation beyond physical astronomy into metaphysical cosmology. When we see the Sun rising each day, we may reflect on it not merely as a star, but as a manifestation of divine sustenance.

Conclusion

According to this spiritual framework:

• The Sun was directly created by Vishnu.

• It emerged from a cell of Param Agni.

• It has been illuminating for over 1,12,40,000 billion years.

• It plays a role even in cosmic dissolution.

• There are infinite Suns across infinite universes.

This perspective blends cosmology, theology, and metaphysical symbolism into one unified vision of existence. This is considered deep spiritual knowledge — experiential wisdom — not merely theory.
