the Surya Namaskar

is one of the best traditional Indian exercises that people can perform. The benefits accruing from these

exercises are unique and excellent. This is a yoga based exercise and it is customary to perform

Surya Namaskar after performing loosening yoga exercises.

The human being can be thought of consisting of ‘pancha kosas’ (or five sheaths) consisting of

the Annamaya (or Body), Pranamaya (or Breath), Manomaya (or Mind), Vijnanamaya (or

Intellect) and Anandamaya (or Bliss) sheaths. These same five kosas can be further grouped

into Gross (or Sthula), the Annamaya or body sheath, Subtle (or Sukshma) consisting of the

pranic, mental and intellectual sheaths and the Causal (or Karana), the Bliss sheath. Properly

performed Surya Namaskar impacts and influences all five sheaths – the body, the breath, the

mind, the intellect and the bliss – thus providing to the performers of these exercises the

benefits for the Sthula (Gross), Sukshma (subtle) and Kaarana (Causal) bodies. Whereas

conventional exercises of all forms including aerobic, weight lifting, walking, jogging and

running are designed to provide benefits to the physical body and its various component organs

including joints and muscles, Surya Namaskar provides benefits of a holistic nature by working

on the physical body, praana (breathing), mind, intellect and the bliss components (or kosas) of

the entire human personality. In that sense, Surya Namaskar can be considered to be a

personality development tool and must be included as part of one’s wellness program
