Aditya Hrudayam Sanskrit Lyrics with English Transliteration and Translation

Introduction to Aditya Hrudayam Stotram:

Sri Valmiki Ramayana’s Yuddha Kanda 105th canto is Aditya Hriday Stotram. Agastya Rishi describes this hymn of Lord Surya composed by himself in the battlefield to conquer Lord Rama, a jaded and desperate in front of Ravana’s unfailing powers. It was only after this chanting that Ravana was killed by Shri Ram.

Aditya Hrudayam Benefits:

Its reciting is as effective as the sun to achieve glory and to win in any wrongful disputes and lawsuits. If your wish is justified and true, read it only otherwise it may have the opposite effect.

(Before reciting the Aditya Heart Stotram, once the following Viniyoga (appropriation) and Nyasa (pledge) etc. are recited, it is good but it is not necessary to do it.)
