The Sun is considered a mild malefic in Jyotish. Chandra Wickramasinghe, an Astrobiologist may have recently found one of the reasons for such a decision. He has proven a link between low solar activity and pandemics actually exists. It seems space holds various types of viruses which can be carried to earth when the Sun is producing few solar flares.
In 2017 he and a group of colleagues presented a short, but very readable, paper on their findings. Reading this paper will clarify any questions. In addition, it has been reported that last Oct 13, a fire-ball (incoming meteor) fell over a city near Wuhan, China. All the factors Wickramasinghe and his colleagues identified, in their 2017 article, came together and now the world over is dealing with Covid-19.
Yes, there would be no life as we understand it without the Sun but that doesn’t mean the Sun is always a source of good things. It’s an interesting coincidence, how the ancients were able to write, in the Veda, that life could come from space.
Maybe it is time to look at other examples where the ancient seems to have made lucky guesses?
