This month I am going to tell you how my Granny is associated with Sun.
My grandmother used to call the Sun as "Pratyaksha Narayanudu" which means "Visible God".
She designed her chores according to Sun's movement.
Her every action is useful for today's situation. Especially when this Covid-19 is extending its hands all over world.
In her total life she never woke up after sun rise. Many of your grand mothers and grand fathers used to say "Never sleep after sunrise" remember??
The modern science got to know our ancestral rituals are way for healthy life. My granny used to say "When you brush your teeth after sunrise your teeth will be broken."
"How come sun can break my tooth? if I am aged, then naturally I will lose my teeth, why to worry to wake up early? This was my argument.
Till her day of death, she never fell ill. She always said "Sun is energy. Pray to him".

Till her day of death, she never fell ill. She always said "Sun is energy. Pray to him".
Her idea was to make me spend more time with morning sun. But I used to spend it on bed.
When I came to know the positivity and freshness in the morning sun, daily I am remembering my granny.
Everyday she woke up before sunrise, mostly at 5 AM, finishes her bathing, and cleaning of house, and started cooking for all of us. Her positive nature reflected in food too. Not a single day her food was tasteless.
One more thing she always insisted was, cleaning the house before sunrise.

My granny termed cleaning house after sunrise as"Daridram", which she probably meant Negetivity in house.
Whem she was in her late 60's, she was unable to sleep during night, however her wake up time didn't changed.
Every day she used to study "Aditya hridayam" and made me learn that. She always said "Aditya hridayam brings you health and happiness. Whenever your mind is disturbed read this one, you will be relieved from stress. Believe in God, if you cannot believe what you see infront of your eye, how can you believe power within you? Sun is creating food for you, with his power, pray him"
Her home made sun-dried chips were the best chips.
Even she used sun for getting rid of aroma in jars, melt her solidified ghee.
She insisted her grandson who was born with jaundice to expose to morning sunlight for few days right after he was born.
Vitamin D is best medicine for children who were born with jaundice. She knows it as simple act,just by spending some time under Sun.
My granny is a middle class house wife from an orthodox family. Her educational background is also not strong. But she knows how to make her family healthy through natural resources.
What did your Granny say about Sun?
