Details: Product Description Surya Namaskara, or salutation to the sun, is an important Yogic practice, which dates back to the Ancient Vedic period when the Sun was worshipped as a powerful symbol of Spiritual consciousness. From its esoteric Origins Surya Namaskara has developed into a practice of twelve postures which weave together to generate Prana (subtle energy), aiming towards the purification and Rejuvenation of the practitioner. This book discusses in detail the full practice of Surya Namaskara, including the surya and bija mantras, points of concentration and extended guidelines to Aid both practitioners and teachers. An in-depth Physiological Study of Surya Namaskara supports its present day use as a powerful therapeutic practice. Review It contains the mantras, instruction with pics. But beginner may need help from a teacher. --K Bisas Dec 1, 2014 Like most other Bihar books this one has solid information on the Sun Salutation. You get an orientation to the sun, the postures, associated mantras, breath coordination, the entire thing. The text is easy enough for a newbie to read and complete enough for the moderate level yogini. Still, you may find it difficult to keep up practice on your own without a yoga teacher so I'd recommend this to someone who has already done some yoga before. Very solid book and enjoyable to read in it's clarity. --By MysticJaguar Excellent book which covers details of practice of Surya Namaskara (Sun Saluation). The book not only explains the 12 poses of Surya Namaskara in details but also provides information on effect of Surya Namaskara on body at endocrine and muscular level. Book also covers mantras and Bija mantras for spiritual aspect of Surya Namaskara. I have read two other books, "Asana Pranayama Mudra Bandha" and "Yoga Nidra", by Swami Satyananda Saraswati. I just love his books. His books cover minute details of each yogic practice and yet they are very easy to follow. I highly recommend this. --By Ashutosh K.
