Karna is a central character in the Hindu epic Mahabharata.
He is one of the greatest warriors, whose martial exploits are recorded in the
epic and the only warrior believed to be able to defeat Arjuna. He was the son
of Surya and Kunti.
Surya means the sun in Nepal and India. It also connotes the
solar deity in Hinduism. Surya is one of the nine heavenly houses in the zodiac
system of Hindu astrology. Surya is the basis of Ravivara or Sunday in the
Hindu calendar.
Sunday is the day of the sun as the name is derived from
Hellenistic Astrology. For most Christians, Sunday is observed as a day of
worship and rest holding it as the Lord’s Day.
The Lord’s Day in Christianity is generally Sunday, the
principal day of communal worship. Most Christians observe it as the weekly
memorial of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
