Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation) and Vital Chakras Activation in the Body - Modern Age Spirituality

Sun salutation is not just another form of exercise, but it has also had a deep resemblance to our spiritual energy in the body.

The ancient yoga has been credited to Sage Patanjali. Surya Namaskar too belongs to the ancient scriptures, but we don’t have a specific name to credit for, and thus we give credit to the Master of Yoga Sage Patanjali for developing the fine art sun salutation.

Sun Salutation consists of 12 postures, where 6 postures are repeated twice. There is an alchemy to it. Sun salutation is not just another form of exercise, but it also has a deep resemblance to our spiritual energy in the body.

When you observe your physical body, you notice that our whole physical structure has been divided into two.

Foster a cooperative spirit between mind and body

Foster a cooperative spirit between mind and body

Western people have had relatively few opportunities to study their minds and bodies in a serious way.

They have not had much experience with the sometimes strenuous training that can be found in a developed yogic tradition.
