SURYA NAMASKAR FOR STUDENTS
Dear student,
It is a well-known fact that Surya Namaskar is an all-round exercise
for all, young and old, men and women. The truth is as real and as
clear as the Sun in the sky. It requires no canvassing to prove its
worth. The actual practice is the only evidence to confirm the
assets you get through Surya Namaskar. For this purpose proper
guidance is required.
At the age of seventy-four Mr. Shejwal, who is my teacher, is still
in practice of performing Surya Namaskar daily. He is my source of
inspiration for this work. My attempts to teach Surya Namaskar to my
grand daughters put me into an urgent need to read something more
about this art. The reading and the questions they would ask made me
think and rethink over the subject again and again. The results are
with you, in the form of web site “SURYA NAMASKAR FOR STUDENTS”. I
have prepared this free web-site suryanamaskar.info with the view to
motivate you to practice Surya Namaskar daily. Surya Namaskar is
globally acclaimed as the best body exercise for all the persons of
all the age groups. It is a real training to our body soul and mind.
Rathasaptami is observed as the Global Surya Namaskar Day. I am very
happy that on this auspicious day the former Principal Mr. Shejwal,
J.T. has inaugurated this web-site.
The following useful and suitable information is included in the
informative part of the web-site. The information of the twelve
names of the Sun God and their correlation to the activities of the
sun in the sky is highlighted. The vital points in the body (the
Sapta Chakra), their locations and the Elements they represent are
pointed out at each step of the Asana. The concentration at the
particular Vital Point in the body, while performing each Asana,
itself communicates the methodology of Surya Namaskar. The stretch
and strain you feel in the muscle while doing a particular position
in the Surya Namaskar is explained. The real feel of stretch and
strain at the particular part of the body ascertains your success in
the process. The usefulness of Surya Namaskar, to prevent and cure
certain ailments and diseases, is also stated. The part that
contains breathing exercise leads you a step ahead towards
excellence in performing Surya Namaskar. The last part contains some
practical suggestions that includes some useful “dos and don’ts”.
The short informative clips in this section will help you prevent
incorrect move in any of the Asanas.
In order to establish one’s worth in this fast Developing Age one
has to keep tune with time. The main scenario of the modern time, in
every walk of life, is the heavy workload with all sorts of
responsibilities and cutthroat competition. They consume your health
and grant you various diseases. I need not name them but to give you
the prime fact I would say that the practice of Surya Namaskar keeps
you healthy and happy. It awards you the ability to take the path of
success. Perform, at least for a month, three Surya Namaskar
systematically, methodically and experience the results yourself. It
doesn’t take more than twelve to fifteen minutes in the beginning
and towards the end of the month, I am sure, you are bound to be in
love with this art of Surya Namaskar. Gradually, as you practice
ahead, the number of Surya Namaskar will reach to TWELVE while the
span of time will remain the same.
This is a free web sight. You can take a print out copy or down load
the material free of cost. It is my appeal to you and your friend
circle to make maximum use of this free web-sight (suryanamaskar.info).
Practice Surya Namaskar daily. If you have any problem, feel free,
to contact me at any time.
I pray Lord Rama to grant you all the health and happiness.
I would like to mention the unique personality of Mr. Neetin
ModakShashtri, the coordinator of the Sanskrit Weda Pathshala,
Nashik who has decided to teach Sandhya Vidhi to one lakh students.
Sandhya Vidhi is an age-old ritual of the worship to the Sun God. I
have great regards for his efforts and would like to participate in
his work by teaching Sandya Vidhi to the grandparents and the senior
citizens so that they can help their grandkids undertake the
practice of this ritual. In order to make their task more
‘meaningful’ my future plan is to write the meaning and the
significance of each shloka in the Sandhya Vidhi with pragmatic
attitude.
Hats off to all the persons who helped and encouraged me to prepare
this web-site. To point out some of them I would like to state the

Dear friend,
Taking into consideration the difficulties of the students in
practicing the art of Surya Namaskar I have revised the
www.suryanamaskar.info today on the GuruPournima the 18th of July
2008. The changes are as follows:
A cover page, indicating "SuryaPanchayat" is added to the E-book.
The
significance of "SuryaPanchayat" in the light of SuryaNamaskar as
NityaKarma is explained, in brief, on the back page.
BijaAkashar is treated as a separate item. The step by step use and
the importance of it is included.
Surya Namaskar in Stages: Each of the twelve Asana is divided into
four stages. The main objective of each Stage:
1. To experience the stretch and strain on the specific muscles and
leave the rest in free and relax position.
2. To watch out the process of breathing.
3. To concentrate on the Chakra involved in each Asana.
4. To do all the actions in one stroke maintaining the rhythm of
breathing & actions, time & speed.
The next stage is that of Pranayam, of course, it is there without
any theoretical or practical explanation.
There is a new item Invitation. The item Instructions to
Participants contains Surya Darshan, Surya Namaskar, Suggestions on
Eating Habits and Daily Planning, with registration form and etc.
The item Self Check UR Excellence gives you rough idea to confirm
the health-assets received so far through the practice of Surya
Namaskar. The last item of revision is that of correcting the
spelling mistakes in the Sanskrit Shloka.
May I request you to visit this FREE site and go through the
changes? Please do let me know your impressions and suggestions
regarding the matter and the method used there in.
Thanks in the meanwhile.
