These sacred verses find a mention in the Yuddha Kanda of Sage Valmikis Ramayana.

And the Stotram was recited by Sage Agastya to Shri Ram just before the war against Ravana.

Before the fateful day, Shri Ram had spent sleepless nights and restless days as he was relentlessly searching for his beloved wife Sita, who was abducted by Ravana.

Therefore, a need arose to calm him and provide him with the much needed mental and physical strength to face the enemy on the battlefield.

And since Ravi Var (Sunday) is dedicated to the worship of the Sun God, you can seek his benevolent grace and get showered with his choicest blessings.

Thus, you may thank him for nurturing all kinds of life on earth.

And since we in India are in the middle of a lockdown owing to the novel coronavirus pandemic, we genuinely need to uplift our spirits.

This Stotram helps a person regain lost confidence, and helps himher focus on her goal to triumph.

Apart from this, we wouldnt be able to sustain on earth without the Sun.

By expressing gratitude, we can seek the blessings of the all-encompassing Surya Dev.
