Total number of Japa of Sun is 7000 but in Kaliyuga, this figure must be multiplied four folds and hence 28000 Japa of Sun Mantra should be chanted. After this a Homa ( Fire ritual ) should be performed in which the Sun Mantras should be recited for 2800 times ( 1/10th of the total number of Mantras ).

For removing malefic effects of planet Sun, one should keep fast on Sunday. As per rule, this fast begins from 1st Sunday of Pousha (December-January) month or last Sunday of Ashwina month (September-October). However, if fasting is to commerce in any other month, then it can be done from the first Sunday of bright half. One is allowed to have curd and rice once only for better results. Fast must be opened before sunrise. One should not sleep in daytime on the day of fast.

For removing malefic effects of Sun, if along with above methods, prayer of Surya Dev is performed everyday then quicker results are obtained.
