Know More about the Course
Surya-shataka is a composition by the poet - Mayura Bhatta consisting of 101 shlokas that describe and praise Bhagavan Surya. Mayura Bhatta was a 7th century Sanskrit poet and scholar, who was the brother-in-law of Bana Bhatta, the court poet of the great King Harshavardhana. While Mayura Bhatta was suffering from leprosy, he composed these one hundred verses in praise of Bhagavan Surya (the Sun God) and was cured of leprosy. Even though, while composing the verses, he had to encounter a Brahma-rakshasa (a demoniac form), he was able to defeat him with the blessings of Bhagavan Surya. Hence the name – Surya-shataka.
