A very good article talking about the benefits of Suryanmaskar. It is a great combination of asanas and pranayama (breathing) to give complete health benefit to one and all. Truly universal.
Delighted to see the detailed article with poses, benefits and limitations. Truly Surya Namaskars are for entire humanity. Currently is US there is Health for Humanity yogathon going on to promote Surya Namaskar. Great job Rediff!!

Dinesh Vijapurkar, You are absolutely right. Our ancient Rishis gave these Yogic exercises to the entire humanity. That is a fact.
But it is also a fact that certain learned moulvis pronounced that practice of Yoga is anti-islamic.
Hence 'nmspm' is absolutely right.Yoga is anti-islamic.

mmspn, you are right.It isanti-Islamic. Hence it is communal. So it will be good if all the secularists dont practice Yoga...after all it was given to the humanity by the ancient Hindu Rishis.
If trillions of cells in human body have to vibrate with the universal energy, there is no better exercise than yoga in general and suryanamaskarams in particular.
in suryanamaskar namaskar mantras r most imp one. om hram mitray namah... etc chanting mantra effects on our mind also. otherwise suryanamskar will like circus. involvement of mind is necessary.

Correct...Every posture has a Mantra associated with it. 1 round has 2 sets. Do 13 everday (total of 26), followed by meditation/relaxation. It is awesome

bipin: What tarun said is true. check about the chanting of mantras with a proper Yoga guru.
