Sun in Indian astrology

Indian astrologers have noticed that during the year the sun passes through twelve constellations corresponding to certain signs of the zodiac. Unlike traditional Chinese designations, there are names and sacred meanings for each of the star clusters. This concerns the mood and the attributes that accompany them. Thus, each of these positions has its own sounds... Surya Namaskar is not one text, but twelve. They correspond to different seasons, and the energy in which the heavenly body dwells on this moment... Each sound contains eternal sacred energy. This power is called shakti and allows you to approach the all-encompassing energy of the cosmos. People use sounds in order to receive a source of spiritual enlightenment through shakti. After the ritual of prayer, a person discovers in himself the clarity of mind, rises spiritually. As if the rays of the luminary burn out everything that is superfluous that interferes on the path of spiritual purification and the transformation of the spirit takes place and the exit to new level consciousness.

PLAY AGAIN!

  • This is a greeting from a heavenly body. For pronouncing it, such a pose as Pranamasana is recommended. Acceptance of such a position symbolizes the transfer of oneself to the power of the luminary. Here it is seen as a universal friend who provides people with everything they need to live. With words, energy, heat, light and other things enter a person.

    OM MITRAYA NAMAHA

  • This is a greeting, but this time it is done in the pose of Hasta Uttanasana. Here, a person is drawn to the divine principle radiated by the star. He accepts the supreme radiance and is in harmony with everything in contact with him.

    OM RAWAYA NAMAHA

  • This mantra of greeting refers to action. Here is the search for harmony with the creative force. Thanks to her, a person tries to enter into unity with the supreme consciousness, which controls the plans of the future being.

    OM SURYA NAMAHA

  • An immediate greeting to the luminary. Here symbolism is traced, since an analogy is drawn between the illumination of the earth's surface and the clarity of the consciousness of a person who utters the solar mantras. The prayer is pronounced when the person praying is turned towards the very object of worship. He invokes the dawn, which must come in his soul.

    OM BHANAVE NAMAHA

  • Greetings to the one walking across the sky. This movement helps determine the time of day. There is a bow before greatness, so the prayer is pronounced in a posture of worship.

    OM KHAGAYA NAMAHA

  • The one who gives nourishment and strength is welcomed here. During the recitation of the mantra, you should touch all eight points of the body to the ground. This allows you to emphasize the identity of a person and the earth's surface and to receive intended gifts from the sun.

    OM PUSHNE NAMAHA

  • Here the sun is worshiped as a person. The words of the prayer are aimed at awakening creative energy, manifesting inspiration, and so on.

    OM HIRANYA GARBHAYA NAMAHA

  • This mantra salutes the rays of the sun.

    OM MARICHAYA NAMAHA

  • Here Aditi is welcomed, the child of the heavenly body according to Indian mythology, who is the unlimited cosmic mother.

    OM ADITYAYA NAMAHA

  • Salutation to the stimulus of the heavenly body, which should help its power of revitalization.

    OM SAVITRI NAMAHA

  • Greetings to the Arch. It is a commendable source of energy.

    OM ARKAYA NAMAHA

Bija mantra

Mantras to the sun end with bija. This is a special concept that means seed syllables. They don't have the same meaning as the previous eleven prayers. But there are very powerful messages presented here that should create beneficial vibrations in the physical body of a person, as well as in his mind. Thus, when the first and second types of vibrations enter into resonance, harmony of mind and body will be achieved, which is one of the goals of many spiritual practices. The words to be spoken -

OM TEMPLE, OM CHRIM, OM CHRUM, OM CHRAYM, OM CHRAUM, OM CHAH.

This prayer should lead to the one who leads to enlightenment. She is designed to show boundless respect for the heavenly body. The mantra is designed to find a path that will lead to spiritual truths. It should be repeated three times in one session.

When to pronounce

These spiritual practices should be done along with awakening. When a person gets up around dawn, then his day should be started with these mantras. This provides an opportunity to receive a charge of light for the whole day, as well as to keep oneself in a high spiritual tone throughout the entire time when the practices are carried out. And it is also possible to hold them in the evening at sunset, if it is not possible to do everything in the morning. It helps relieve tension and negative energy accumulated over the whole day and, together with the sunset, independently come to a calm state.

How to pronounce

Saying sacred words is possible both aloud and silently, or simply listen online. It is believed that speaking out loud gives more power to words, and therefore more energy. You need to choose a method that is comfortable for yourself, with which you can practice every day.

Mantras are combinations of sounds that are designed to create a specific effect on the mind and its functioning. Surya Namaskar mantras can be spoken aloud, in a whisper, or spoken mentally, but mental recitation - the best way... When a sound is uttered mentally with observation and concentration, the thought takes the form of this sound, it becomes this sound, and the energy contained in this sound manifests itself in the mind.

Surya Namaskar mantras are formulated from the letters of the Sanskrit alphabet, each letter has its own special vibrational frequency and produces a corresponding effect on consciousness. These 52 sounds, known as Devanagari, were created by the ancient rishis during the Vedic period through a state of deep meditation. These highly developed souls were able to touch the original source of all sound energies, Shabda Brahman, the Supreme Consciousness, which manifests itself as sound.

All external sounds that we perceive arise when two or more objects, such as the vocal cords, bump into each other and create vibrations in the atmosphere. These vibrations then enter the ears, in turn causing vibrations in the eardrum. The characteristics of these vibrations are transmitted to the brain, where they are perceived and compared with all past sounds stored in the memory, the mind, in turn, represents their origin.

12 solar mantras

Each year the Sun passes through 12 different positions known as zodiac signs in Western astrology and Rashi in Indian astrology. According to Indian astrology, each rashi has special attributes, or moods, and in each mood the Sun takes on a different name. These 12 names are included in the 12 solar mantras, which are mentally repeated in their respective order in conjunction with the 12 movements of Surya Namaskar. These solar mantras are not just the names of the Sun, but each sound syllable contained in them is the carrier of the main eternal energy (shakti), represented by the Sun itself. By chanting them and concentrating on these mantras, all mental structures are benefited and elevated.

Although these mantras do not need an intellectual understanding, their meaning is conveyed below for people with an exploratory mind, as well as for people with a spiritual (more) bias who wish to use mantras as a way of adjusting to the primary source of spiritual illumination symbolized by the Sun. Most Indian mantras start with maha-mantra om.

1.Om Mitraya Namaha(greetings to a mutual friend).

The first posture is pranamasana, it embodies the posture of one who entrusts himself to the primary source of all life, as we know it: the Sun is viewed as a universal (universal) friend, continuously giving light, warmth and energy to support our and all other planets. In the annals, Mithra is described as awakening people to activity, supporting the Earth and Heaven and looking at all creation without discrimination, just as the Sun in the early morning signals the beginning of daytime activity and casts its light on all living things.

2.Om Rawaye Namaha(greeting to the shining one).

Ravaya means one who shines and reveals the divine effulgence in all life. In the second pose, hasta uttanasana, we stretch our entire being upward, towards the primary source of light, in order to receive this radiance.

3.Om Suryaya Namaha(greeting to the one who induces activity).

Here the Sun appears in a very dynamic aspect as the Surya Deity. In ancient Vedic mythology, Surya was worshiped as the Lord of Heaven, depicted as crossing the sky in a fiery cart drawn by seven horses. This beautiful analogy needs to be interpreted correctly. The seven horses actually represent seven rays or seven emanations of the Supreme consciousness, which reveal seven planes of being: bhu (earthly, material), bhuvar (intermediate astral), suvar (subtle, heavenly), mahar (the place of residence of the devas), janah (dwelling place holy souls who have gone beyond the ego), tapah (the seat of the enlightened siddhas) and satyam (unanalyzable true reality). Surya symbolizes the Supreme Consciousness itself, which controls all these plans of manifestation. Surya is one of the most specific sun gods; one of the Gods of the first Vedic trinity, his place of residence is heaven, while Agni (fire) is his representative on Earth.

4. Om Bhanave Namaha(greeting to the one who illuminates).

The sun is the physical personification of the guru or teacher who removes the darkness of our delusions, just as the darkness of the night is removed with every dawn. In the 4th position (ashva sanchalanasana) we turn our face towards this radiance and pray for the end of the darkness of the night of ignorance.

5. Om Khagaya Namaha(greeting to the one who moves through the sky).

Solar daily movement across the sky, which is the basis of our time measurement from the previous ones used as sundial, before the sophisticated inventions used today. In parvatasana we offer obeisances to the one who measures time and pray for progress in life.

6. Om Pushne Namaha(greeting to the giver of strength and nourishment).

The sun is the source of all strength. Like a father, it feeds us with energy, light and life. We offer respect in Ashtanga Namaskar by touching the Earth with all eight points of our body. In essence, we offer all of ourselves in the hope that he can provide mind, physical and spiritual strength and nourishment for us.

7.Om Hiranya Garbhaya Namaha(golden cosmic personality greeting).

Hiranya Garbha is also known as the golden egg, resplendent like the Sun, in which
Brahma was born as a manifestation of the personal aspect of being. Hiranya Garbha is the seed of causality. This entire Universe, before it manifested itself, was in a potential state within the Hiranya Garbha. In a way, all life is contained in the Sun as potency, and this is a great cosmic principle. We pay homage to the Sun in bhujangasana, the seventh pose, and pray for the awakening of creativity.

8.Om Marichaye Namaha(greeting to the rays of the sun).

Marici is one of the sons of Brahma. The rays of light are also sons of the sun. But this name also means a mirage. All our life we ​​have been striving true meaning or a goal, just as a thirsty person achieves water in the desert, but is deceived by a mirage created by the sun's rays and dancing on the horizon. In the 8th pose (parvatasana), we pray for true illumination and discernment so that we can distinguish between valid and invalid.

9.Om Adityaya Namaha(greetings to the son of Aditi).

Aditi is one of the many names given to the cosmic mother Mahashakti. She is the mother of all Gods, boundless and inexhaustible creative power, from which all divisions of powers originated. The sun is one of her sons and manifestations. In the 9th pose (ashva sanchalanasana) we salute Aditi, the boundless Cosmic Mother.

10. Om Savitre Namaha(salutation to the one who stimulates the power of the sun).

Savitri is known as stimulating, awakening, it is often associated with Surya, which also represents the same padahastasana posture. Savitri is said to represent the Sun before sunrise, stimulating and awakening a person to daytime activities, and Surya is said to represent the Sun after sunrise, when activities have begun. Therefore, in stretching the padahastasana posture, we salute Savitri in order to receive the quickening power from the Sun.

11.Om Arkaya Namaha(Greetings to the one who is worthy of praise).

Arch means energy. The sun is the largest source of energy in our system as we know it. In the 11th pose (hasta uttanasana) we offer reverence to this source of life and energy.

12.Om Bhaskaraya Namaha(greeting to the one who leads to enlightenment).

In this final greeting, we offer respect for the Sun as the symbol of the great revealer of all transcendental and spiritual truths. It illuminates the path leading to our ultimate goal - liberation. In the 12th pose (pranamasana) we pray that this path will be open for us.

Bija mantras

A series of bija mantras or seed syllables is presented here as a replacement for the 12 names of the Sun. Bija mantras are sounds that have no literal meaning on their own, but cause very powerful vibrations of energy within the mind and body. These bija mantras are:

1. OM TEMPLE(Hraam)
2. OM HRIM(Hreem)
Z. OM KHRUM(Hroom)
4. OM CHIME(Hraim)
5. OM KHRAUM(Hrawm)
6. OM OF CHURCH(Hrah)
(The correct pronunciation should be checked with other sources.)

Six bija mantras are repeated 4 times during one cycle of Surya Namaskar. These or other bija mantras or solar mantras can be recited aloud or mentally, depending mainly on the practitioner's inclination and the speed of execution. If the speed is very low, you can combine solar mantras with chakra observation. If the speed is slightly faster then the bija mantras can be used in the same way. If the physical movements become much faster, then both mantras are repeated alone, without passing the chakras, or observation can be carried out through the chakras without mantras.

The mantras for the new Surya Namaskar complex for 42 constellations can be found in the description of the Sarva Deva Namaskar (mantra) set of exercises.

Information taken from the manual
Ar Santem, Ar Kass. "Dynamic complexes of Yoga ...",
section of the book of Swami Satyananda Saraswati "Surya Namaskar - the technique of solar revitalization"

Each year, the sun goes through 12 different stages, known as zodiac signs in Western astrology and Rashi in Indian astrology. According to Indian astrology, each rashi has specific attributes or moods, and in each mood the Sun takes on a different name. These 12 names are included in the 12 solar names, which are mentally repeated in their respective order in conjunction with the 12 movements (for more information on the Surya Namaskar complex, see the link).

These solar mantras are not just the names of the Sun, but each sound syllable contained in them is the carrier of the main eternal energy (shakti), represented by the Sun itself. By chanting them and concentrating on these mantras, all mental structures will benefit and become exalted.

Although these mantras do not need an intellectual understanding, their meaning is conveyed below for people with an exploratory mind, as well as for people with a spiritual (more) bias who wish to use the mantras as a way of attunement with the primary source of spiritual illumination symbolized by the Sun. Using these 12 mantras allows you to deepen your Surya Namaskar practice.

There are many different complexes for improving health, attracting energy and vitality. One of them is Surya Namaskar (Om Mitraaya Namah Om Ravaye Namah). It is ideal as a morning exercise and can also help you find inner peace.

Mantra Surya Namaskar helps to find peace of mind

Description

Surya namaskar is a mantra dedicated to Surya. Its name is translated as "Salutation to the Sun". The ritual itself is:

  • 12 asanas, postures that are comfortable and stable: performing them, a person is in his true form, they constitute a kind of ritual of worship;
  • mantra includes pranayama, that is, breathing exercises that help to control vital energy;
  • words that can affect the emotions and mind of a person, on things around;
  • compulsory meditation, which helps to achieve a state of inner harmony and spiritual enlightenment, to withdraw into oneself.

There is a similar ritual dedicated to the moon. It is called "Chandra-namaskar" and already contains 14 poses that symbolize the phases of the moon. It is performed in the evening.

The concept of Surya

This is the name of the sun god in Hinduism. He is the one who brings light and heals. He is considered the all-seeing eye of the Gods and the heavenly guard. The sign of this God is a chariot drawn by 7 horses. Each of them symbolizes a ray of the sun.

The purpose of Surya, according to the adherents of Hinduism, is to illuminate the entire universe, driving away the ominous darkness and all kinds of diseases. They portray him as a humanoid creature with 4 arms and 3 eyes.

Surya - the sun god in Hinduism

History

Surya-namaskar was originally found in the texts of Ancient India, but only as a ritual of worship of a deity, and not as a complex of physical exercises. From this side, the mantra began to be considered only from the twentieth century.

Swami Sivananda Sarsavati writes about her in his works, as well as Sri Tirumalai Krishnamacharya in his Yoga Makaranda. There is a version that Krishnamacharya invented these exercises himself. Some believe that he borrowed them from other rites.

Asanas

A prerequisite for this mantra is the performance of 12 asanas. They are related. Before each of them, except for the sixth, you need to either inhale or exhale. On the sixth breath, you must hold it.

To fully perform Surya Namaskar, you need to stand in 24 asanas: 12 times they will start from the right leg, and 12 times from the left.

In these postures, a person uses 34% of their maximum oxygen reserve.

Surya namaskar ceremony

These exercises should be done in the morning, at dawn, to greet the coming day and the sun itself. For the best result, you first need to learn how to perform all the poses separately, and then proceed to the full cycle.

  1. Pranamasana. This stage is known as the praying person pose. You need to stand facing the sun, align your back, bring your hands to your chest so that your palms touch. You need to close your eyes and relax your body. This asana involves inhaling and exhaling.
  2. Hasta uttanasana. You need to fully raise your arms above you so that they are straight, then bend back, the body should be stretched, and take a breath.
  3. Uttanasana. You need to bend as low as possible, trying to reach your knees with your head. Hands should grasp the legs, keeping the knees and back straight. This asana must be performed while exhaling.
  4. Ashva sanchalasana. Known as the Horseman Pose. Bend your left knee to a 90 ° angle. Take your right leg back as far as possible. Then inhale and lift your chest away from your hip, pulling it up. Hands should be near the feet.
  5. Chaturanga Dandasana I resembles a plank. As you exhale, stand on your hands. Bring your left leg back so that it is near the right.
  6. Balasana. You need to get on all fours. Inhaling, stretch the buttocks back to the feet, as if taking the pose of a child.
  7. Ashtanganamaskar. Remaining on all fours, it is necessary to depict a cat with an exhalation: the forehead and chest, palms, toes and knees should touch the floor. The buttocks should be left up, and the back should be bent. This pose should be done on the exhale.
  8. Bhujangasana. You need to lie on your stomach on the floor so that your palms rest on the floor under your shoulders, then stretch upward, bending in your lower back and leaning on your palms. You only need to look at the ceiling. This asana is also called the cobra pose and is performed while inhaling.
  9. Adho mukh svanasana. It is also called "face down dog". Lying, leaning on your hands, you need to raise the tailbone up, and raise the body as high as possible. The back and the head form a straight line, the legs are separate. The heels must not be lifted off the floor. The exhalation pose is performed.
  10. Ashva sanchalasana. Once again, inhaling, do pose 4, but only with support on the right leg.
  11. Hastapadasana. Asana repetition 3.
  12. Hasta uttanasana. Pose repetition 2.

Then we complete the cycle with pranamanasana (asana 1) and repeat all 12 asanas, but with the right leg in support.

On the one hand, this complex can be advised for beginners in yoga, since it is easy to remember. And by performing this simple complex just a few times every day, you can keep your body in good shape.
On the other hand, this practice can be performed as a tantric technique that works with several channels of perception at once. Then the student performs a difficult task with switching attention between objects, constantly maintaining concentration.
The practice can also be performed as sun worship, as a dynamic prayer.

Many schools of hatha yoga and some teachers have their own versions (sometimes even several) of the Surya Namaskar complexes. The complexity of the complex can be changed by adding or replacing asanas, changing the breathing rhythm or adding delays.

This article provides an overview existing options sun salutation complexes and other practices that can be performed to obtain a similar result.

Surya Namaskar in Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga


It is performed at the beginning of the Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga complex as a warm-up and warm-up. There are two options:
If performed in full, then this type of greeting has a number of differences:

  1. Special breath - Ujjayi.
  2. The transition from Uttanasana to Chaturanga Dandasana and from Downward Dog to Uttanasana is a jump, not a step.
  3. The arms go up and down over the sides.

In variant A on Shat and in variant B on Chaturdash, the dog is kept facing down for five breathing cycles.

Surya Namaskar Sivananda Yoga

exhale - inhale - exhale - inhale - hold (or exhale-inhale) - exhale - inhale - exhale - inhale - exhale - inhale - exhale

There are complications of this complex. For example, in pose 4 and 9, bend with the arms abducting up and back.
Traditionally performed 12 times. And with each return to pranamasana, the next line of the mantra is chanted

  • Sahasrara is the region of the crown. The chakra color is fiolet (or white).
Concentration takes place in the following order:
  • Pranamasana - anahata
  • Hasta uttanasana - vishudha
  • Padahastasana - svadhisthana
  • Ashva sanchalanasana - ajna
  • Parvatasana - vishudha
  • Ashtanga namaskara - manipura
  • Bhujangasana - svadhistana
In the practice of Surya Namaskar, we mentally touch all the chakras in the body, excluding mooladhara. Surya namaskar develops other chakras, preparing them for the awakening of kundalini from mooladhara. The body must be strong and healthy to resist the energy of awakened mooladhara, which is associated with the release of powerful unconscious forces. Surya namaskar increases stamina in preparation for this event.

Solar mantras

Mantras are combinations of sounds that are designed to create a specific effect on the mind and its functioning. Mantras are formulated from the letters of the Sanskrit alphabet, each letter has its own particular vibrational frequency and has a corresponding effect on consciousness. These 52 sounds are known as Devanagari.
Each year, the sun goes through 12 different stages known as zodiac signs in Western astrology. Each zodiac sign has specific attributes or moods, and in each mood the Sun takes on a different name. These 12 names are included in the 12 solar mantras.
Although these mantras do not need an intellectual understanding, their meaning is conveyed below for people with an exploratory mind, as well as for people with a spiritual (more) bias who wish to use the mantras as a way of attunement with the primary source of spiritual illumination symbolized by the Sun.
  1. Om Mitraya Namaha(greeting to a universal friend) The first pose is pranamasana, it embodies the pose of one who entrusts himself to the primary source of all life, as we know it: the Sun is seen as a universal (universal) friend, continuously giving light, warmth and energy to support our and all other planets.
  2. Om Rawaya Namaha(greeting to the luminous one) Rawaya means one who shines and reveals the divine effulgence in all life. In the second pose of hasta uttanasana, we stretch our entire being upward, towards the primary source of light, in order to receive this radiance.
  3. Om Surya Namaha(Greetings to the one who induces activity) Here the Sun appears in a very dynamic aspect, like the Surya Deity. In ancient Vedic mythology, Surya was worshiped as the Lord of Heaven, depicted as crossing the sky in a fiery cart drawn by seven horses. Surya refers to the most specific solar Gods; one of the Gods of the first Vedic trinity, his place of residence is heaven, while Agni (fire) is his representative on Earth.
  4. Om Bhanave Namaha(Greetings to one who illuminates) The sun is the physical personification of the guru or teacher who removes the darkness of our delusions, just as the darkness of the night is removed with every dawn. In the 4th position (ashva sanchalanasana) we turn our face towards this radiance and pray for the end of the darkness of the night of ignorance.
  5. Om Khagaya Namaha(salute to one who moves across the sky) Solar daily movement across the sky, which is the basis of our time measurement from the former, used as a sundial, to the sophisticated inventions used today. In parvatasana we offer obeisances to the one who measures time and pray for progress in life.
  6. Om Pushne Namaha(greeting to the giver of strength and nourishment) The sun is the source of all strength. Like a father, it feeds us with energy, light and life. We offer respect in Ashtanga Namaskara by touching the Earth with all eight points of our body. In essence, we offer all of ourselves in the hope that he can provide mind, physical and spiritual strength and nourishment for us.
  7. Om Hiranya Garbhaya Namaha(greeting of the golden cosmic personality) Hiranya Garbha (golden egg), brilliant like the Sun, in which Brahma was born, as a manifestation of the personal aspect of being. Hiranya Garbha is the seed of causality. This entire Universe, before it manifested itself, was in a potential state within the Hiranya Garbha. In a way, all life is contained in the Sun as potency, and this is a great cosmic principle. We pay homage to the Sun in bhujangasana, the seventh pose, and pray for the awakening of creativity.
  8. Om Marichaya Namaha(salutation to the rays of the sun) Marici is one of the sons of Brahma. The rays of light are also sons of the sun. But this name also means a mirage. All our lives we have been pursuing true meaning or purpose, just as a thirsty person achieves water in the desert, but is deceived by a mirage created by the rays of the sun and dancing on the horizon. In the 8th pose (parvatasana), we pray for true illumination and discernment so that we can distinguish between valid and invalid.
  9. Om Adityaya Namaha(Greetings to Aditi's son) Aditi is one of the many names given to the cosmic mother Mahashakti. She is the mother of all Gods, boundless and inexhaustible creative power, from which all divisions of powers originated. The sun is one of her sons and manifestations. In the 9th pose (ashva sanchalanasana) we salute Aditi, the boundless Cosmic Mother.
  10. Om Savitri Namaha(salutation to one who stimulates the power of the sun) Savitri is known as stimulating, awakening, he is often associated with Surya, which also represents the same padahastasana posture. Savitri is said to represent the Sun before sunrise, stimulating and awakening a person to daytime activities, and Surya is said to represent the Sun after sunrise, when activities have begun. Therefore, in stretching the padahastasana posture, we salute Savitri in order to receive the quickening power from the Sun.
  11. Om Arkaya Namaha(Greetings to the one who is worthy of praise) Arch means energy. The sun is the largest source of energy in our system as we know it. In the 11th pose (hasta uttanasana) we offer reverence to this source of life and energy.
  12. Om Bhaskaraya Namaha(greeting to the one who leads to enlightenment) In this final greeting, we offer respect for the Sun as a symbol of the great revealer of all transcendental and spiritual truths. It illuminates the path leading to our ultimate goal of liberation. In the 12th pose (pranamasana) we pray that this path will be open for us.
Bija mantras- These are sounds that do not have a literal meaning on their own, but cause very powerful vibrations of energy within the mind and body. These bija mantras are:
1 and 7 Ohm Temple
2 and 8 Ohm Hrim
3 and 9 Ohm Hrum
4 and 10 Ohm Khraim
5 and 11 Ohm Khraum
6 and 12 Ohm Hraha

Surya Namaskar in the Universal Yoga of Andrey Lappa

The sequence of asanas of the Bihar school of yoga is applied. But there are a number of differences:
  • another sequence of passage through the chakras
  • added mooladhara chakra
  • if in the Bihar version it was proposed only to transfer attention to the chakras, then here it is precisely to represent the colors of these chakras
  • in the Bihar version, it was proposed to sing either the bija mantra or the 12 names of the sun. Here they are merged into one mantra.
  • added the end of the complex with the visualization of white at the top and the gayatri mantra

When it becomes easy to visualize the color, we begin to imagine the chakras as flowers with petals and continue to chant the mantras.
Performed 108 times on each leg (108 laps). Then we sit down, read the Gayatri mantra and visualize a white light above ourselves (the merging of the colors of all chakras).

The text of the Gayatri Mantra:

Peculiarities:

Since this complex is repeated many times, some asanas are simplified. The lunge is performed with the back leg on the knee, and instead of chaturanga, the ashtanganamaskara asana is used.
In this form, the Surya Namaskar complex is similar to Buddhist prostrations: in which the mantra is also recited, the tree of succession is visualized, and body movements are performed.

The purpose of the practice

  1. sun worship
  2. increased flexibility
  3. warm-up and warm-up of the body
  4. improves blood and lymph circulation. The heart muscles are strengthened. Blood vessels, including the brain, are trained by alternating head up and head down
  5. if you add mantras and visualizations, concentration is trained on all three channels of perception: kinesthetic - posture, auditory - mantra, visual - chakras and colors
  6. cleansing energy channels

Savasana as part of the practice

After the complex, it is better to lie down in Shavasana (corpse pose). We lie on our back in a symmetrical pose with slightly spread arms and legs. We put our hands, palms up. We try to relax the whole body.

Medical view

Indications

Many yoga therapists view Surya Namaskar as an example of dynamic practice. Therefore, it can be recommended to people who need movement. For example, people with:
  • overweight (if the pressure is not too high)
  • apathy, depression - working with the body balances emotional condition
  • functional disorders in the work of internal organs (at the level of management of the work of organs)
  • poor joint mobility - to gradually increase the range of motion
  • varicose veins - dynamic work is very useful
  • many others ...

Contraindications and restrictions

  • People with strong high blood pressure- you should consult with a specialist before starting the practice - because in the complex there are positions with the head below the pelvis (tilt and the dog facing down), which increase the pressure
  • For people with a weak heart, the elderly - performing the complex at a fast pace, especially if it is difficult for a practitioner, can greatly speed up the heartbeat and also provoke an increase in pressure and overload the heart
  • With heart valves - you can not take positions with the head below the pelvis
  • With fever and acute inflammatory diseases
  • Within a few months after abdominal operations
  • During pregnancy, do not put pressure on the stomach
  • In the case of a hernia, protrusion or radicular syndrome, tilts and deflections should be performed with an amplitude that does not lead to pain. You must be especially careful with the position of the Dog Face Up.
  • Painful periods if it interferes with practice

Poses 5 and 8 are transitional between asanas and without a mantra.

Option 2

Similar to Surya Namaskar in Sivananda Yoga style.

Option 3

Option 4 from Shiva Ri yogajournal.ru

The postures are not very different from the well-known "solar" asanas. However, Shiva Ri offers a different intensity, pace and quality of movements - without haste, this is the only way to create a suitable mood for practice. When practicing at this pace, there is no need to synchronize movement and breathing.

Anjali mudra (seal of the Greetings, variation). Spread your feet to the width of the pelvis, turn your palms to the ceiling and connect the little fingers in Anjali Mudra. Relax and direct your attention inward.
As you inhale, stretch your arms out to the sides. As you exhale, place your palms on your sacrum. As you inhale, point your belly and heart area up. (From this position, the transition to the lunar Uttanasana is made three times.)
Lean forward with your knees bent. Bring your ribcage to your hips, open your palms to the ceiling. Let go of the spine, feeling the tension go away from it.

High lunge. As you exhale, step back with your left leg, and bend your right leg as in Virabhadrasana I - Warrior I pose. Leaving your hands on the floor next to your right foot, gently stretch your body parallel to the floor.

As you exhale, direct the energy from the inner legs to the pelvic floor. As you inhale, move to the other side just as carefully. Smoothly move from side to side two more times, moving your arms and legs in a spontaneous flow, like seaweed.
High lunge. Turn to your left leg and take a high lunge. Tune in to Lunar Vinyasa.

Anjali mudra (variation). When doing mudra, direct your attention inward. Repeat the sequence in the opposite direction and complete the Anjali Mudra practice. Let it be a dedication, gratitude and prayer for peace and renewal of all things.

5 Tibetan pearls (eye of rebirth)

Source: P. Kelder. Book "Eye of Rebirth"

In actions 2-5, it is necessary to coordinate movement with breathing. The depth of breathing has great value as breathing serves as a link between movements physical body and the control of etheric power. Therefore, it is necessary to breathe as fully and deeply as possible when performing the ritual actions of the "Eye of Rebirth". The key to full and deep breathing is always the fullness of the exhalation. If the exhalation is completed fully, the inhalation that follows naturally will inevitably be just as complete.

Ritual action one

Starting position- standing with arms horizontally extended to the sides at shoulder level. Rotate around its axis (from left to right - this is important) until a feeling of slight dizziness arises.
Number of times: Beginners are advised to limit themselves to three revolutions and bring them to ten or twelve. The maximum number of revolutions at a time in most cases does not exceed twenty-one.
To "push back" the limit of dizziness, you can use a technique that is widely used in their practice by dancers and skaters. Before starting to rotate, fix your gaze on some fixed point directly in front of you. When turning, do not take your eyes off the point you have chosen, as much as possible. When the fixation point is out of your field of vision, quickly turn your head, ahead of the rotation of the torso, and as quickly as possible again capture the landmark with your gaze. This technique allows you to quite noticeably push back the vertigo limit.
The action is performed in order to impart an additional moment of inertia to the rotation of the vortices. We kind of accelerate the vortices, giving their rotation speed and stability.

Second ritual action

Starting position- lying on your back. The arms are stretched out along the torso and the palms with tightly joined fingers are pressed to the floor. It is best to lie on a thick rug or other reasonably soft and warm mat. You need to raise your head, pressing your chin firmly to the sternum.
Then raise straight legs straight up, while trying not to tear the pelvis off the floor. You can take your legs even further "towards yourself" - until the pelvis begins to come off the floor. The main thing is not to bend your knees.
Then slowly lower your head and legs to the floor. Relax all muscles and then repeat the action again.
Breath. At the beginning, you need to exhale, completely ridding the lungs of air. While raising the head and legs, you should take a smooth, but very deep and full breath, while lowering - a full exhalation. If you are tired and decide to rest a little between reps, try to breathe in the same rhythm as during the movements. The deeper the breathing, the higher the effectiveness of the practice.

Third ritual act

It is executed immediately after the first two. Starting position- kneeling. The knees are located at a distance of the width of the pelvis, the thighs are strictly vertical. The palms of the hands lie on the back of the thigh muscles under the buttocks.
Then you should tilt your head forward, pressing your chin to the sternum. Throwing our head back and up, we protrude the chest and bend the spine back, resting our hands on the hips a little, after which we return to the starting position with the chin pressed to the sternum. After a little rest, if necessary, we repeat all over again.
Breath. It is required to strictly coordinate the movements with the breathing rhythm. At the beginning, you should make a deep and full exhalation. Bending back, you need to inhale, returning to the starting position - exhale.

Fourth ritual act

Starting position- sitting on the floor with straight legs extended in front of you with feet hip-width apart. Straightening your spine, place your palms with closed fingers on the floor on the sides of your buttocks. When doing this, the fingers should be directed forward. Lower your head forward, pressing your chin to your sternum.
Then tilt your head back and up as far as possible, and then lift your torso forward to a horizontal position. In the final phase, the thighs and trunk should be in the same horizontal plane, and the legs and arms should be located vertically, like the legs of a table. Having reached this position, you need to strongly strain all the muscles of the body for a few seconds, and then relax and return to the starting position with the chin pressed to the chest. Then - repeat all over again.
Breath. First you need to exhale. Rising and throwing your head back - take a deep, smooth breath. During tension, hold your breath, and when descending, exhale completely. While resting between repetitions, maintain a constant breathing rhythm.

Fifth ritual act

Starting position- an emphasis lying bent over. In this case, the body rests on the palms and pads of the toes. The knees and pelvis do not touch the floor. The hands are oriented straight forward with the fingers closed together. The distance between the palms is slightly wider than the shoulders. The distance between the feet is the same.
We start by throwing our head back and up as far as possible. Then we move to a position in which the body resembles sharp corner pointing upwards. Simultaneously with the movement of the neck, press the head with the chin against the sternum. At the same time, we try to keep the legs straight, and the straight arms and body are in the same plane. Then the body will appear to be folded in half at the hip joints. After that, we return to the starting position - lying bent over - and start all over again.
Breath. Here the breathing pattern is somewhat unusual (an approximation of "paradoxical breathing"). Starting with a full exhalation in a lying position, bending over, you take a deep breath, as much as possible, while "folding" the body in half. Returning to an emphasis lying bent over, you exhale completely. Staying in extreme points to perform a tense pause, you hold your breath for a few seconds after inhalation and after exhalation, respectively.

Sixth ritual action (optional)

This action is intended only for those who have decided to embark on the path of spiritual development. The first five exercises are enough to maintain excellent physical shape.
Standing straight, you take a deep breath, squeeze the anal sphincter, the urinary bladder sphincter, tighten the muscles of the pelvic floor and the lower anterior abdominal wall, and then quickly bend over, resting your hands on your hips, and exhale intensively through your mouth with the sound “Ha-a-h- xx ", trying to remove all air from the lungs completely, including the so-called residual. After that, you draw in your abdomen as much as possible by tensely lifting up the diaphragm and relaxing the anterior abdominal wall and straighten up. At the same time, the chin should be pressed against the hip notch, the hands should be at the waist. Having maintained the position with the abdomen sucked in for as long as possible - as long as you have enough breath holding - relax your diaphragm, raise your head and take a deep breath as calmly as possible. After catching your breath, repeat.
The number of repetitions. Usually, three repetitions are enough to redirect free energy and "dissolve" the sexual desire that has arisen. It should be mastered gradually, starting with three times and adding two weekly. It is advisable not to do more than nine repetitions at a time.
As a training session, the sixth ritual action is performed once a day in a series of several repetitions. The practice of this exercise is possible at any time and in any place, provided that the stomach and intestines are not too full, as well as the presence of a bodily signal in the form of an arisen sexual desire. Moreover, one who has fully mastered the sixth ritual action can easily carry out an extremely full exhalation quietly, without bending over and not attracting attention to himself. Therefore, the practice of turning sexual energy into life force is really feasible wherever and whenever, at any moment, as soon as attention turns to the sexual desire that has manifested itself in the body.

Buddhist prostrations

Prostration (bowing) is a form of Buddhist practice. These are psycho-physical exercises, combining physical action (full bowing to the ground with prostration of the whole body of the practitioner), reciting mantras (aloud or silently) and various techniques work with consciousness, first of all, the techniques of visualization of Teachers, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, yidams and protectors, in front of whom prostration is carried out. The purpose of this practice is to curb your own mind, purify accumulated negative karma and acquire good merit. As with all practices of Buddhism, the motivation with which they are performed is of primary importance in performing prostrations.

Prostrations are performed in front of objects sacred for a Buddhist (temple, altar, stupa, natural object (mountain), image, etc.), around them or in the process of moving towards them (pilgrimage). Prostrations are performed both indoors (in front of the home altar or in the temple) and in the open air. There are numerous cases when Buddhist believers, moving exclusively in successive prostrations, walked many hundreds of kilometers around the sacred Mount Kailash, during a pilgrimage to places where Buddhist rituals and large prayer meetings were held.

Prostrations are also an important element of Buddhist etiquette - each of the students bows down three times before the teacher, before receiving the teaching, thus recording the relationship "teacher-student" and his willingness to listen to the teacher's words with gratitude, attention and respect.

Prostrations are included in one of the preliminary practices (ngondro) in many schools of Buddhism. Taking refuge in the Three Jewels is followed by performing 111,111 prostrations.

Technique for doing prostrations
    During prostrations, the practitioner:
  • imagines what is in front of the refuge tree and that all living beings are behind us. Performs the necessary visualizations of Teachers, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Protectors and Yidams and imagines the countless number of bodies that he possessed in all his lives, and which will now perform prostrations in his current body
  • recites the refuge mantra
    Body positions:
  • Folding his palms in the shape of an unopened lotus, to which the unenlightened mind is like, the practitioner brings them to the crown of the head. Then he applies them sequentially to the following parts of the body:
    • to the forehead - at this moment the practitioner repents and is cleared of 3 negative body actions (murder, theft, sexual misconduct) committed in this and all previous lives
    • to the throat - at this moment the practitioner repents and is cleansed of all the impurities that he received through his speech (from 4 negative actions of speech: lying, introducing discord between people, rude speech and idle talk). May karma be cleansed from the negative actions of speech, and may I acquire the speech of the Buddha
    • to the heart - at this moment the practitioner repents and is cleansed of all the impurities of karma accumulated from 3 negative actions of the mind: malice, greed (envy) and false views. And I will gain the mind of a Buddha, possessing enlightenment
  • The practitioner touches the ground with his palms, then kneels
  • The practitioner lies on the ground, touching the surface of the ground with his forehead and extends his arms in front of him, then raises them above his head (this is done only in some types of prostrations)
  • The practitioner stands up
  • After doing prostrations, we dedicate the merits of the practice to all living beings.

Buddhism originated in India, and from there began to spread to other countries. At the same time, traditions changed slightly to make it easier for local residents to understand and practice. Therefore, outwardly, the stretches can be very different. The mantras performed may differ.
But the essence is the same. In prostrations, usually little attention is paid to the external form. The main work is aimed at managing attention and forming pure intention.

There are 2 fundamentally different execution options:

  1. sliding - usually this option is performed if you have a specially equipped place. This is usually a polished board. The person either puts on gloves or puts his hands on carpet or plank lining (if this is done on the ground). Using them, a person slides his hands forward.
  2. stepping with palms from a short stretch to a long stretch and back. There are 2 options:
  • If done at a slow speed, then the arms fold into namaste.
  • If done at fast speed, then the arms are placed and carried shoulder-width apart

Stepping over


Slide

Option 1. Buddhist temple in India.


Option 2. Nepal.


Option 3. China. An interesting option, it is similar to the Surya Namaskar complex. There is a dog facing up and stretching with arms at the top.

Dedication of merit. Upon completion of the full cycle of prostration practice, one should perform the dedication of merit for the benefit of all sentient beings.
