Hinduizmin vedalar döneminde güneş tanrıları

İnsanoğlu tarih boyunca pek çok tabii fenomeni kutsal saymış ve tanrılaştırmıştır. Güneş belki de bu kutsallaştırmaya en çok konu olan nesnedir. Aztek, İnka, Mısır, Antik Yunan ve Japon medeniyetleri bu tanrılaştırmaların izlerini taşır. Teogoni konusunda mahir olan Hint insanı da güneşi çeşitli isimler altında kutsallaştırmıştır. Bu isimlendirmeler, genelde güneşin günlük ve yıllık hareketlerine bağlı olarak gerçekleşmiştir. Böylece Hinduizmde güneş, Surya, Savitri, Mitra, Vişnu, Pushan, Aditi ve Asvinler gibi adlar altında tanrılaştırılmıştır.
