The energy manifests itself through God, sun and Life in this world and descends down on to us. It is the life inducing energy that rises as the sun.

There is unparallel power in the rays of the sun. Since times immemorial our ancestors have been the worshippers of sun its main reason being the capacity and quality of Sun to purify the environment and make it disease free.
