Sun is that perpetual source of energy without which no life on earth
would be possible. Hence, praying to sun or ‘Surya Namskar’ is
considered to be a very pure and effective method of performing yoga.
There are lot of people who have heard of this and a lot of them
practice it too, but most of that knowledge is either incomplete or
wrong. Surya Namaskar or Sun Salutation is an exceptionally ancient
method of paying regard or communicating appreciation to the Sun that is
the wellspring of all types of life on the planet.
