Mantras Surya Namaskar - a song of love to the Sun
I'm standing on my yoga mat, getting ready to start the Sun Salutation routine. My hands are folded in front of my chest in a prayer pose. I say the first mantra, my hands are stretched up, and when I say the second mantra, they go down and touch the floor, as a bow to the greatest power - the Sun. I have a slight smile on my face that accompanies each posture of Surya Namaskar along with the repetition of mantras. All my Sun Salutation practice becomes sacred. This is what the repetition of mantras brings to a practice that would otherwise look like a physical exercise for weight loss or for stretching and toning muscles.
Mantras are combinations of syllable sounds and phrases that can be repeated or chanted. In the case of the Salutation to the Sun, they are sung in honor of the Sun. The repetition of mantras enhances the benefits of the Sun Salutation; It has a subtle penetrating effect on both body and mind. The 12 mantras praise the various qualities of the Sun and bring a deep spiritual dimension to the entire practice.
How to chant sun salutation mantras?
The only rule to remember is to repeat them with gratitude. Each Sun Salutation mantra has a specific meaning, but it is not necessary to delve too deeply into the meaning of each mantra.
For example, Om Bhanave Namaha means "one who brings light." As you say this mantra, feel deep gratitude to the Sun for the light that it gives us and makes life possible on this planet. Chanting "Om Mitraya Namaha" - feel that you are addressing the Sun as a friend.
