12 Surya Namaskar Mantras aka Sun salutation chants are an important component of Surya Namaskar that makes it a spiritual practice. Through these sun salutation mantras, the sun’s qualities are appreciated and assimilated by the practitioners.
These 12 Surya Namaskar Mantras are chanted along with the 12 postures synced with the breath in a meditational flow. While chanting, the Sun is worshipped in all its forms and names.
Similar to the particular sequence of 12 poses followed in Surya namaskar, the mantras are also chanted in a specific manner. In eastern astrology, these 12 mantras are considered the sounds of zodiac signs through which the sun passes every year in 12 phases (Rashi). Chanting these mantras enhances the spiritual component of Surya Namaskar.
12 Surya Namaskar Mantras are chanted in Sanskrit. The middle term of each mantra (between Om and Namah) is one name of the Sun God. Every sound syllable of the Sun God name contained the vehicle of basic energy represented by the sun itself.
Chanting a Sanskrit mantra could be daunting at the beginning. However, to express the true dedication to the practice its translation would come in handy.
Use this practice guide for understanding the essence of the Sun and the significance of paying gratitude to this powerful source of life.
