Aum Bhaskaraya
Namah |
 Namaskar Mudra |
Aum Bhaskaraya Namah: The word Bhaskar means Prakasah, Tej;
one who is Prakashman or Tejaswi. The sun is not God-like but HE is
THE GOD of the universe. HE has covered the entire universe with his
light. There is the sun light inside and out side of our body. HE is
the witness to all our deeds mental and physical. HE observes all of
your actions and gives you joy and sorrow accordingly. HE leads
assists and inspires you to do noble works. When you accept HIS help
and perform your work accordingly you become happy inside and out.
In order to get this divine happiness and self-satisfaction, bow to
the Sun God and perform Surya-Namaskar.
Surya Namaskar is a prayer to the Sun God. You can call it ‘Action
Prayer’. A prayer means ‘thanks giving’. “The thanks giving” for
what you have already received. You express gratitude to the Sun God
for the previous day that was granted to you and expect HIS
blessings for the coming day. Prayer is not begging for blessings.
You are going to get what you deserve. You are bound to get success
and joy equal to your efforts – in the present and the past. So
‘best of efforts’, in every action, should be your motto.
Start every of your day with Surya Namaskar. Pray the Sun God early
in the morning before the sunrays enter your house. HE is the first
visitor of the day to your house. And the guest is not an ordinary
one. HE is the GOD that we can actually see. HE is the model example
for you to follow. Receive the guest wholeheartedly. Shake off your
sleep. Get ready to welcome HIM. Isn’t it absurd to welcome the
guest after he has entered your house?

Ending Shlokas
Adityasya namaskaran ye kurvanti dine dine
Janmantar-sahashreshu daridrya nopajayate
Namah dharma-vidhanaya namaste kruta-shakshine
Namah pratyaksha devaya bhaskaraya namah nama-h. |
अदितस्य नमस्कारान ये कुर्वंती दिने दिने
जन्मांतरसहस्त्रेषु दारिद्रम नोपजायते ||
नमोधर्मविधानाय नमस्ते कृतसाक्षिणे
नमः प्रत्यक्षदेवाय भास्कराय नमोनमः || |
Meaning: One who performs Surya Namaskar regularly gets no
poverty (Poverty of wealth, health and intellect.) lives after
lives.
Oh! Lord Bhaskara. YOU are the Dharma incarnated. (YOU yourself are
all the divine virtues.)
YOU are the soul witness to all my deeds, good and bad.
YOU are the only God in shape and form. I bow to you (with all my
body, mind and soul.)
Significance: The daily practice in Surya Namaskar gives you
health. Healthy body performs more work. The working hours are
increased. The work is done with ease and confidence. You become
successful in your work. The success leads to success. The success,
of course, gives you happiness and wealth too.
The Sun God is the Dharma incarnated. With His own example He tells
us what Dharma is. HE is the only god that we get to see everyday,
everywhere. HE is the only god in shape and form. HE is the witness
to all your deeds. HE showers happiness according to your deeds. I
pray the Sun God with all my heart. |

अनेनसूर्यनमस्काराख्येन
कर्मणा भगवान्
श्रीसविता सूर्यनारायण: प्रीयतां न मम् || |
Meaning: In this way the practice of Surya Namaskar is over.
With great reverence I dedicate the act of Surya Namaskar, performed
in His honour, to Lord Surya Narayn (the Sun God). HE has given me
the inspiration and the physical ability to carry out the action and
got it done from me.
Significance: Nothing is mine. Everything belongs to HIM. The
possessive sense of ‘me-my-mine’ is to be put on regressive mode.
Achaman: Open the palm straight. Keep away the thumb and the
ladyfinger. Close the remaining three fingers and raise them a bit.
A scoop is formed on the palm at the end of the fingers. Take a
spoonful of water in the scoop. Release the water, from the wrist
end of the palm, in your mouth. And say:
|
अकालमृत्यु हरणं सर्व व्याधी विनाशनं
सूर्य पादोदकं तीर्थं जठरे धारयाम्यहं || |
Meaning: Oh Sun God! Let the sip of water keep away from me all
the diseases and the untimely deaths.
Significance: It is a sort of promise to be confirmed by
self-instruction. If you practice Surya Namaskar daily, it relieves
you from minor illness, disorders, and other ailments. All these
discomforts, if not taken care of, may turn into serious diseases
leading you to the death point. |
