Aditya Hridaya Stotra Download Pdf

They both gave you the correct conclusion. Reciting it WILL embolden Surya. But, is it correct to do so? Is the question. If Surya owns 6th Bhaava or 12th Bhaava or 8th Bhaava or 3rd Bhaava or 11th Bhaava AND he's in the Raashi of Shanaischara or Raahu or has Drshti by them... then he is bound to do something bad.
So, what should you do? Assuming that the second Jyotishi is correct, in relation to Drshti and Raashi in particular (the ability to see and Raashis are owned by Surya and 12 Aadityas) in relation to Surya, what you need to do is - either stop chanting it and/or chant a Shaanti Mantra/Strotra/Japa, instead.
A Stotra is not harmless, and it cannot be applied randomly. There's no panacea, especially as far as Navagrahas go. If you exalt a negative graha, you will suffer, and if you demote a positive one, you will also suffer.
The Aaditya Hrdaya is for for Karka Lagna (and Raashi) individuals. Shri Raama had Karka Lagna with Chandra in Lagna, while Surya was in Uccha (exalted) position in Mesha (Aries) Raashi in 10th Bhaava (already in a great situation).
Most people get this wrong, but believe it or not, the Aaditya Hrdaya is not for Surya at all, primarily. It is first and foremost for the Karka Raashi. Presumably, stotras like Aaditya jaanu or kroda or pada etc existed (for other Raashis) but since they weren't in the Raamaayana (as it wasn't applicable to Shri Raama), they haven't survived.
If you look at the meaning of the stotra, then you will figure this out pretty quickly. One factor is the name itself (hrdaya), naturally. Another factor is mention of Varuna (ApaamPati or similar names), 3 times at least (as opposed to Bhaga or Dhaataa or Vidhaata or Pushaa or Indra etc Aadityaas). And, most importantly, the first section itself:
तत युद्धपरश्रन्तं समरे चन्तय स्थतम् रवणं चग्रत दृष्ट्व युद्धय समुपस्थतम् १
Why is it three times? It is 3 times specifically because Brhaspati (number 3, within vedic numer'ology') is in the Lagna. So, the Chandra is being supported via two fronts, by chanting it thrice. I won't go into more details.
There's far far more nuance here and each person's Chakra is definitely unique and needs to be considered separately, but these general guidelines will keep you out of the vast majority of trouble that you may gain by chanting.
I'd like to point out that Surya and Aaditya are DIFFERENT, Surya is the Graha, as in the physical object, Aaditya is the Deva (or assimilation of 12 Devas) that rules the 12 Raashis. This is the Hrdaya (or fourth part/heart) of Aaditya, Surya DOES NOT have 12 Parts. The 12 parts of THE Aaditya manifest from Surya in the 12 months. Hopefully that is clear.
Also, in case you're wondering, the only reason the other Aadityas (and even unrelated entities like Pitrs) are mentioned is for the sake of receiving the power from Surya Naraaayana (who can half-correctly assumed to be an amalgamation of the 12). The Raashis are ruled by him altogether. So, different parts of him, are appealed to, going beyond just the 12 Aadityas. That's why the text, at one point mentions Brahmaa Vishnu and Shiva as being 'him'. That 'him' is Surya Naraayana. Beyond the 12 Aadityas and beyond the Graha, but also connected to them in a way.
then he is completely ignorant about our sanatana dharma. We are living thanks to the divine grace of Bhagawan surya(Aditya). He is the reason why birth, death and sustenance of life is happening on earth. So, of-course one should chant Aditya Hridayam regardless of raasi or nakshatra which they were born in.
English translation:Indeed, He is the very embodiment of all Gods. He is self-luminous and a reflector of all the rays.He nourishes and energises the inhabitants of all the worlds as well as the host of Gods and demons by his rays.

In our customs, natural forces like the earth, fire, wind, and others, are like idols. One of them is Surya or Surya Deva. He is also known as Aditya because of his son Aditi and is like the pillar of life on earth. So, aditya hridaya stotra is amongst the most powerful hymns of all time. It is dedicated to Surya Deva and recited by people who have weak Sun, according to astrology or feel indecisiveness.
But how is chanting aditya hridaya stotra so impactful? Why should folks recite it at least once a day? Moreover, why specifically chant it on Sundays? Well, here we have the answers to all your anxieties.
You must be wondering what connection it has to do with the reasons to recite the Strota? Well, some answers are better told in history. It is about the legendary Ramayan times, more specifically during the final battle between Ram and Ravana.
It says that Lord Ram tried his best to defeat and kill Ravana, but everything went in vain. Disturbed and tormented by this helplessness of not killing his enemy, Lord Rama felt nothing but fatigue and disappointment.
It was in this seizing moment he prayed to his best. As he did so, the wise Agastya showed up in front of him. He appeared with the motive of refreshing Rama. He then asked him to offer his prayers to Lord Surya, reciting the aditya hridaya stotra. As he did so, he not only felt energized but also strong and prepared for the decisive fight.
According to astrology, each day of the week is bind to one God. Like the Saturdays are for Shani Deva and Tuesdays for Lord Hanuman. Similarly, Sunday or Ravi-Vaar is for Lord Surya (Ravi being his other name).
We humans never take interest in anything until it is of some benefit to us. And aditya hridaya stotra has countless perks and benefits. However, to bring up some from the Strotam and Phalstuti we have picked some of its merits:

Lord Rama had a great battle with intelligent demon Ravana. Getting exhausted and not still able to kill ravana is the cause of worry of Lord Rama. He was into deep thought and Rishi Agastya observed Him.
All the Gods, Goddesses and sages come along to see the war and end of Ravana. Ravana has caused harm to Gods and sages. Thus they were standing in the sky and watching. When the war was going on like never ending war, Lord Rama was thinking the solution. Rishi Agastya who was with other Gods came to Lord Rama and said
Oh my dear powerful Rama there is a solution for your worry. Listen to a perennial secret. How you would be victorious in this war. Rishi agastya was a revered Vedic sage of Hinduism. He saved humanity and helped Gods many times. He in himself is the God. All the mantras, stotras and wisdom are known to Rishi Agastya. Lord Rama is very dear to Rishi Agastya, so he came forward to tell the solution of ending the war.
Rishi Agastya here introduces the Aditya Hrudayam Stotram saying that this holy stotra which is the heart of the essence of Sun is the solution of your worry. Chanting the stotra will destroy all the your enemies, makes you victorious and everlasting glory.
५. सर्वमङ्गलमङ्गल्यं सर्वपपप्रणशनम्
चन्तशकप्रशमनम् आयुर्वर्धनमुत्तमम्
Here Bhagwan Agastya glorifies the supreme prayer of Sun God. He said reciting this stotra will always give happiness, destroy all sins, worries, anxiety, promote health and eventually increase the longevity.
One who is the full of bright rays, who wakes up in the sky is the Sun God. He is the one who is worshipped not only by devas but also by asuras. Everyone in the universe pray to him because he is the ruler of all worlds and lord of the universe.
He is the soul of all gods, all Gods are within Him. He is the brightest among the bright and sustains all worlds of Devas, Asuras human and all creatures of all the worlds. Sun is the said to be the essence of the world because if there is no sun there would be no life. He is the base of life. His rays are the life sustainer.
From trinity to the lokpal, Aditya represents all. As we know Trinity are the Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh and they create, preserve and destroy the universe. But Aditya represents all because he contains the aura of all the Gods.
१०. आदत्य सवत सूर्य खग पूष गभस्तमन्
सुवर्णसदृश भनुर्हरण्यरेत दवकर
He is the son of Aditi (Aditi is the mother of Gods) and hence called Aditya. As he is the brightest one, so with his with supreme light he rules the world. Travelling in the sky and possessing bright rays he nurtures the world. Golden colored, always shining, he is the creator, nurturer and ruler. The day starts with him and eventually ends too. He is like a Golden egg or womb which signifies the womb of universe, which is the source of creation and manifestation.
