Hridayam: That which is especially nourishing and healing for the heart.
Indra: Vedic God of being or life.
Aditya Hridayam[2][3] is another ancient practice which involves surya namaskar. It is a procedure of saluting The Sun, taught to Sri Rama by Sage Agastya, before his fight with Ravana. It is described in the "Yuddha Kaanda" Canto 107 of Ramayana.
Before Rama goes to fight Ravana, sage Agastya advises him to worship Surya and chant the Adityahridayam, which destroys enemies, gives victory, removes all sins and sorrows, and gives light to the world.
This can help only if one eventually is able to recognize this as a substitute and let go of it while, embracing the core base at the heart (the hridayam).
