Family of Sun

                                  Family of Sun

In Hindu mythology , Sun is considered as God. Sun is also having family . He is the grand son of God    Brahma himself.
Sun's mother is Aditi . Aditi's children together are known as Adityas . Sun is one among these adityas . Sun's wife is Sanjna Devi.
The couple had the children namely ,
1 . Vaivaswata
2 . Yama
3 . Yamuna
But Sanjna was uncomfortable with the glowing light of Sun . She wanted to move away from him . That's why she has created her replica called Chaya devi.
Sun was unaware that Chaya was not Sanjna. The couple had children namely
1. Savarni
2 . Shani
3 . Tapati
But since Chaya devi is the step mother of Sanjna's children , she could not show the same affection towards children of Sanjna as she is showing towards her own children.
Sun had observed this and then he came to know the truth also . He wanted to bring his first wife back . For that, he had to decrease his glowing light .
He did that and the glow which he had lost was useful to make Sudarshana Chakra , Trishool  and other weapons of devas.
Sun went near his wife in new form and then the couple got Ashwini Devata who are twins as their children. Ashwini Devata are also the divine doctors .
