Surya Namaskara​

























 

It is better for a ‘Yoga Sadhaka’ (Yoga practitioner) to get up at Brahmi Muhurta  (4.30 A.M. and to get ready for Surya Namaskar.
Surya Namaskar is a mixture of ‘Asana’ and Pranayama.  It helps to remove the lethargy of the body and to make it active. It is difficult to practice ‘Yoga’ as soon as one gets up, wisemen have said.


One can get good health by the blessing of Sun God.  This process should be practiced slowly paying attention to breathing.  It should be learnt systematically with the guidance of a teacher.  Take a few Soorya Namaskaras in the beginning and practice it 12 times chanting 12 Mantras of Sun God.
