Always creates issues.. They have issues with poleo vaccinization, issues with Tika now issues with Surya Namaskar which is a good exercise for health. Sick mentality really..
If people object to it because of its name just change the name. Call it \"sampurnang swastha kriya\" or \"prabhat sphurti aasana\" and it no longer has a religious identity
Surya namaskar as the words suggest is something to do with sun, and i dont think sun belongs to any community or religion neither does d sun bestow his energy on this planet based on d religious lines.
Whatever may be benefits - not everything is observed in this practical world is beneficial. Basically when everybody believes in a CREATOR - please do namaskar to the CREATOR (As we do five times NAMAZ) not his CREATIONS. Grow up learned/educated/enlighted Indians.

Namaz is also a part of Namaskar. Actually all religions benefit from Sanatan Dharma

Namaz is a religious thing but surya namaskar is a yoga/pranayam.. so namaz can not be a part of educational curriculum..

Surya Namaskar is the name of the exercise since ancient times.You can rename it as CREATOR NAMASKAR and do.East Side(morning sun side) has been preferred because the MAGNETIC LINES of Earth fall in harmony with our body magnetic lines and it gives extra physical and mental benefits. Other wise you can do it facing in any direction (including towards pious MACCA etc) and have benefits. Infact when these exercises were designed, there was no religious based division. Only two communities 'bad' & 'good' existed.

There is only one CREATOR, whatever the name you call him by. Only love and compassion are his qualities. No particular religion can own him. He himself has created different paths depending on the regions

correct. Surya Namaskars are exclusive for Hindus because they were mentioned in our Mythology since ages. Also one has to I repeat one has to chant slokas while performing Surya Namaskaras.Now if people want to perform it even without slokas, well and good yes but it is from Hindu Mythology.

Shlokas are for cleaning our thoght process which has 60 % role in our life. 30% mind and 10% role our body plays

Surya Namaskar is basically a Pranayam (Part of Yoga) which has several health benefits. Don't link it with any religion..
