Seven colours mix together to become an intense glow of white rays of the sun. Sir Isaac Newton, the renowned scientist of the 16th century had been accredited with this discovery. World believes with this fanfare.
Ages before Newton, the ancient Indian Vedic knowledge had revealed that the sunlight consisted of seven colours.




sapta tvā harito rathe vahanti deva sürya soacikşeśam vicakşaņa        

ava divastārayanti sapta suryasya rasmyah (rig veda 1.50.9)


The seven colours are mixed together to form a day
It also does not mean that the sun has only seven rays, the sun emits a million rays but each ray of sunlight is a combination of seven colours. In Vedic terminology it refers to the word "sapta aśva rūda" .it actually means seven coloured white sun rays. The Vedic meaning of the word "aśva" means “light rays”.


The Taittiriya aranyakam says."eko-aśva vahati sapta namāh".   (Rig veda 1-164-2)




It means sunlight is one (white) but called as seven; figuratively the above Sloka can be expressed as the sun being carried by one horse called with seven names Interestingly in Chandogya Upanišat there is a śloka (8-6-1); it says that sun's ray has three colours; they are blue, yellow and red. In fact, this is true in since those three colours, which diversify into other colours.
