Calling for help from someone knowledgeable in Sanskrit to review the words in this article and make any necessary edits. I have kept the macrons in words (thus indicating long vowels) where I have found them in other sources. I am also unsure whether it is better to use namaskara or namaskar. If you are knowledgeable in both Sanskrit and IPA it would be great if exact pronunciation guides could be added in IPA or SAMPA. Oska 03:32, Sep 19, 2004 (UTC)
i have placed this article under wikiproject hinduism.-- Jayanthv86 18:23, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
My opinion is that Yoga is a separate subject than any one religion. It's interesting that this article doesn't even mention Yoga, yet it is as a physical-spiritual Yoga technique that most people will encounter the Sun Salutation; I don't view it as a form of "sun worship" at all, so I think there needs to be some separation between the origins of the practice and its usage today. Maybe then we can remove the stub status. -- Ben—Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.169.15.38 ( talk) 11:19, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
It is rather sad that Hinduism is considered a religion. 'Hindu' was the name given to the people residing near the river Sindu (at the time of Indus Valley Civilization) by the Greeks as they had difficulty pronoucing sindu. Those people(residing near Sindu)'s practices for physical, mental, and spiritual well-being are now considered Hinduism. Those people themselves used to call their practices as 'Sanatan Dharma' of which a poor translation would be Eternal Religion and the poorest would be 'Hinduism'. Sanatan means eternal but Dharma isn't a religion, it is righteous discharging of one's duties (e.g. For a fisherman, catching fish is his dharma but catching them for sports is not a dharma). What is righteous and what is not would often be questioned by people of other belief system and hence all these religions and fights among them. Since the saga of being mis-represented (for Hinduism) is in the root itself, it wouldn't and shouldn't matter for the branches (i.e. Yoga being a part of the practices )—Preceding unsigned comment added by 167.83.10.20 ( talk) 22:11, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
The article claims that Surya Namaskar is a 20th century invention and cites a book by Raja of Aundh [1]. The book is an exposition of the Surya Namskars. At no point does the book's author claim invention of Surya Namaskars. This paragraph needs to be removed pending a more reliable reference. Ikshatriya 17:36, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
I agree with Ikshatriya, the origins of Surya Namaskar I believe are not stated properly. Please also refer to the article "Surya Namaskara Chapter" on Wiki itself for some of the origins of Surya Namaskar. I am collecting necessary references to correct this article.-- Khammam 01:28, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
The article was changed by i.p 216.208.254.118 without discussion. I request the person to please explain the reason for removing an important sentence without discussion. Till that time, I as the author of that section of the article will keep reverting to the older version. -- Khammam 18:27, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
Please read the references provided in the article "Surya Namaskar Origins". There is a section on Raja of Aundh with published references. Further, if you look at the older version of this article, it states that Raja of Aundh actually invented it. To clear the air on it I added this sentence. If you want me to add the references given in the Origins article here, I will be happy to do so. Hope this is sufficient. If you still feel that this sentence needs to be restated in this article, I invite you to rewrite the sentence instead of totally removing it.-- Khammam 03:34, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Why are positions 3 and 10 in the series summary (forward bend) referred to by those two different names? Ohconfucius ( talk) 05:46, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
The names of the poses in the series are incorrect and the translations are misleading. It is true that the sanskrit has multiple translations, and the same pose can be called by different names, however as stated they are not helpful to the reader due to this confusion. Take a popular source such as Yoga Journal, and compare to the poses shown vs. the descriptions of the series; the article's "dandasana" is wrong, for example.
The correct names should be something similar to (as used in current Hatha or ashtanga or many other lineages today):
1 - Tadasana; standing pose, mountain pose or sometimes called prayer pose if palms are together
2 - Hasta Uttanasana; upward hands pose
3 - Uttanasana; intense forward pose
4 - (no sanskrit name is common); high lunge on right leg
5 - chatarunga; four limb pose, commonly called plank pose
6 - Chatarunga dandasana; four limbed stick pose (danda is staff or stick, and using staff here is confusing for the reader who may assume dandasana is similar, whereas dandansana is a seated pose)
7 - Bhujangasana; cobra pose
8 - Adho Mukha Svanasana; downward facing dog
9 - (no sanskrit name is common); high lunge on right leg
10 - Uttanasana; intense forward pose
11 - Hasta Uttanasana; upward hands pose
12 - Tadasana (see 1 above)
If there is no disagreement to the above I will make edits in the coming months to correct the sequence. Jcline0 ( talk) 06:08, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
This article needs a section on the scientific studies done on the health benefits os Surya namaskar. - 24.86.3.114 ( talk) 16:29, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
Just as different gurus attribute different names to the same poses, every school of yoga has its own version of Surya Namaskara. This article only shows one. It's great to have a sequence posted here, but it's not the only sequence that people practice as Surya Namaskara. Perhaps this could be expanded into a table, showing what Sun Salutations look like in varying traditions. Morganfitzp ( talk) 21:26, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
In comments above, it is mentioned that a section claiming Surya Namaskara is a 20th century invention have been deleted due to ambiguous references. This is unfortunate. I do not have a reference handy, but I have strong reasons to believe that this is the case. Until a good reference is found, it cannot be stated in the article as a fact, but it is bad practice not to mention this controversy. Thomas Tvileren ( talk) 01:38, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Covered in Different Section of New ArticleIntroductionThe physical base of the practice links together twelve asanas' in a dynamically performed vinyasa which is often included in a series. Sūrya Namaskāra is usually found at the beginning of a yoga series to prepare the body for further practice. The asanas are ordered so that they alternately stretch the spine backwards and forwards. When performed in the usual way, each asana is moved into with alternate inhalation and exhalation (except for the sixth asana where the breath is held in external suspension). A full round of Surya namaskara is considered to be two sets of the twelve poses with a change in the second set to moving the opposite leg first through the series. OriginsSurya Namaskar is a Yoga series. Dubious, Unclear, or Unsourced ClaimsIntroductionSome proponents of the use of Surya namaskara as part of the modern yoga tradition prefer to perform it at sunrise, which the orthodox consider to be the most ' spiritually favorable' time of the day. Citation Needed OriginsIntroductionThe practice supports development of the koshas, or temporal sheaths, of the subtle body. citation needed =Origins MainVedasThere are numerous references to praising the Sun to enhance good health and prosperity, in the Vedas. Some of these Vedic hymns were incorporated into Nitya Vidhi (Daily mandatory routine for a Hindu). These daily procedures were termed Surya Namaskara (literally translates as "sun salutations"). The forms of Surya Namaskar practiced vary from region to region. Two such popular practices are Trucha Kapla Namaskarah and Aditya Prasna. Word by word translation of dhyana MantraSavitrumandala-Madhyavartee - He who lives in the centre of the solar orb. Sarasijaasana Sannivishtah - Who sits in Padmaasana Keyuravaan Makara Kundalavaan Kireetee Haaree - Who has the bracelets, the big ear-rings in the ear, the crown on the head and the pearl garland dangling on the breast. Dhrita-Sankha-Chakrah - Holder of Conch and Chakra (discuss). Hiranmayavapuh - Golden-hued body. Narayanah - Narayana Sadaa Dhyeyah - Always to be meditated.

Reference: http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/rigveda/rv01050.htm dhyāna mantraThen dhyāna mantra is recited / chanted. Verse: dhyeyḥ sadā savitṛmaṁḍalamadhyavartī nārāyaṇaḥ sarasijāsanasaṁniviṣṭaḥ | keyūravān makarakuṁḍalavān kirīṭī hārīhirṇmayavapurdhṛtaśaṁkhacakraḥ || Meaning: “Always worship ‘The Sun’ (our energy source) sitting at the centre of the solar system (savitra mamdal madhyavarti) on Lotus, wearing Keyoor, Makarkundal crown and holding conch, chakra and having glittering golden body.” The above mantras relationship to Sun Salutations is uncited. Despite their being related to the Sun, it is unclear that they are related to the Surya Namaskara this article refers to. sūrya namaskār mantraAfter dhyāna mantra, Surya Namaskars are performed by chanting mantras. Mantras are arranged in a specific way. They consist of the three ruchas taken from 1st Mandala, 9th anuvak 50th Sookta in Rig Veda, which are composed in ‘Anushtup Chandas ’. Kanva Sage [Rushi] is believed to have composed them. Meaning of the three ruchas: “O, radiant Sun rising in the sky, please destroy the disease in my heart as well as diseases of my external body. Let inner and outer diseases of my body be destroyed by brilliantly shining Sun-the son of Aditi.” Nama mantra of the Surya Namaskar have four sections:
In total 6 beejakshara, 12 paada (4 paada for each of the 3 ruchas) and 12 names of Surya are used in the creation of nama mantras. The six beejaksharas in the order of their usage are, hrāṁ, hrīṁ, hrūṁ, hraiṁ, hrāuṁ and hraḥ. The 12 paada are explained in detail in the glossary. The 12 names of ‘The Sun’ in the order of their usage are “ Mitra, Ravi, Surya, Bhanu, Khaga, Pushan, Hiranyagarbha, Marichiman, Aditya, Savitr, Arka, Bhaskara”. The mantra, start with short arrangements of the words at the beginning of the worship and evolve into more complex structures near the end. The mantra for the ease of discussion can be classified into four steps. Step 1: "Aum + 1 Beejaksharam + 1 rucha + 1 Beejaksharam + Aum + 1 Name of Sun" Example Mantra: 1) Aum hrāṁ udhyannadhya mitramaḥ hrāṁ Aum mitrāya namaḥ || 2) Aum hrīṁ ārohannuttarāṁ divam hrīṁ Aum ravaye namaḥ || 12 mantra, formed using the 12 paada of the ruchas, are chanted / recited at this step. As there are only 6 beejakshara, for the seventh mantra the first beejakshara is used and the order is repeated up to the 12th mantra. For each mantra one surya namaskar is performed. Step 2: "Aum + 2 Beejakshara + 2 paada + 2 Beejakshara + Aum + 2 Names of Sun" Example Mantra: "Aum hrāṁ hrīṁ udhyannadhya mitramaḥ ārohannuttarāṁ divam hrāṁ hrīṁ Aum mitrāya ravaye namaḥ ||". 6 mantras are chanted / recited at this step as there are 12 paadas. For each mantra one surya namaskar is performed. Step 3: "Aum + 4 Beejakshara + 4 paada + 4 Beejakshara + Aum + 4 Names of Sun" 3 mantras are chanted / recited at this stage. For each mantra one surya namaskar is performed. Step 4: "Aum + All Beejakshara + All paadas + All Beejakshara + Aum + All Names of Sun" 1 mantra is chanted / recited at this step. One Surya Namaskar is performed at this step. Thus after all the four steps, 22 mantras are chanted / recited and with each mantra one Surya Namaskar is performed. When this cycle is repeated three times, 66 Surya Namaskars are performed. This way ONE Trucha Kalpa Namaskar is completed. Teertha ShlokaIn the end, Teertha Shloka is chanted / recited. Verse: "ādityasya namaskaraṁ ye kurvanti dinedine | janmāṁ tarasahasre ṣudridhryaṁ nopajāyate || akālamṛtyuharaṇm sarvavyādhivinaśanam | sūryapādodakaṁ tīrtham jaṭharedhārayāmyaham || " Meaning: “Those who perform Soorya Namaskars daily, do not face poverty in life [this actually relates to Richness of Health, not financial matters], one does not face early death or suffer from diseases. Drink the water kept before The Sun". Aditya PrasnaThe verses used in Aditya Prasna are taken from the first chapter of "Yajur Veda, Taittiriya Aranyakam"<ref</ref> which is also referred to as Surya namaskara chapter. It is popularly practiced in South India. There are 132 anuvaks in this chapter and it is a practice to recite perform sun salutations with prostrations after recitation of every anuvak. Puranic originsAditya Hridayam [1] [2] is another ancient practice which involves surya namaskar. It is a procedure of saluting The Sun, taught to Sri Rama by Sage Agastya, before his fight with Ravana. It is described in the "Yuddha Khanda" Canto 107 of Ramayana. There are in total 124 names praising the Sun in the whole procedure. The names in verses 10 - 13 are given below: " Aditya, Savita, Surya, Khaga, Pushan, Gabhastiman, Suvarnasadrisa, Bhanu, Hiranyaretas, Divakara, Haridasva, Sahasrarchish, Saptasapti, Marichiman, Timironmathana, Sambhu, Twashta, Martanda, Ansuman, Hiranyagarbha, Sisira, Tapana, Bhaskara, Ravi, Agnigarbha, Aditiputra, Sankha, Sisiranasana ". The names in bold are the names used in the present day popular Surya Namaskar are present in these four verses. In 15 - 20 verses, salutations to Sun are described. An example from the 15th verse is: "the resplendent among the splendid. Oh! God, appearing in twelve forms (in the shape of twelve months of the year) salutations to you". English PublicationsThe existence of procedures of sun salutations for health in ancient India are not confined to Hindu texts and literature written by Hindu scholars. Early English publications record some of the ancient ways of sun salutation. In "A Catalogue raisonnée of oriental manuscripts". [3] (Year: 1860, Page 246) Rev. William Cooke Taylor, noted that a short book with 71 leaves with "Tricha calpa vidhi" from "Aditya Puranam" was preserved. He describes the vidhi as "Modes of rendering homage to Sun, with praise and spells; the object being health or delivery from disease". He further notes the presence of Arghya Pradana, Surya Stotaram, Aditya dvadasa namam - 12 names of the Sun according to the monthly signs of zodiac, Surya Narayana cavacham, Saurashtacshari mantram, and many other elaborate rituals as the part of the vidhi. In Page 148 of the same book he describes a shorter version called "Laghu tricha kalpa vidhi".

The picture posted beside Bhujangasana is actually Urdhva Mukha Svanasana. Morganfitzp ( talk) 16:23, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
I see that a picture of a different yogi practicing Bhujangasana has been replaced the former image of Urdhva Mukha Svanasana. The two poses are very similar and are often used interchangeably. The article reads best when the photos are consistent (same yogi in different poses), since this is an asana series. The discrepancy can be remedied by just noting that the pose pictured is actually Upward Facing Dog, not Cobra. Morganfitzp ( talk) 20:08, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
I propose that Surya Namaskar Origins be merged into Surya Namaskara.

This section has fleeting references to "sun worship" but nothing that has anything to do with the physical exercise known today as Surya namaskara. This follows a typical pattern of claiming ancient heritage for what there is only written history or evidence for modern times. If a separate article about "Yoga Sun Worship in Ancient India" is desired, please consider including this. Otherwise it is just throwing a bunch a Sanskrit terms and references and pretending they represent some sort of lineage.
The Hatha Yoga Pradipika, the oldest known hatha yoga text citation needed does not mention "Surya namaskar" but mentions a sūrya-bhedana (sun-piercing) kumbhaka (II, 44 and 48–50) [7] [8] while the Gheraṇḍa Saṁhitā mentions sūrya-bheda kumbhaka (58–59). [9] The oldest documented book with clear depictions of asanas is the Sritattvanidhi, though there is no mention of Surya namaskar in the text, it does describe the asanas "Sarpasana" (Bhujangasana), "Gajasana" (Adhomukh Swannasan), "Uttanasana" and series of asanas done in tandem, similar to Sūrya Namaskāra. [10] page needed. This whole section seems like unnecessary defensiveness on the part of people who want to claim an ancient lineage. If such a history ever existed, it is long lost in the past. Let me quote Mark Singleton's letter to Srivatsa Ramaswami: "Raja of Aundh revived suryanamaskar in the context of vyayama, and how it was initially promoted as an Indian alternative to Sandow bodybuilding. I am also interested in how (to Sri Yogendra’s chagrin) it was subsequently incorporated by others into physical culture-oriented yoga practices. You ask, “Are these physical drills, yoga exercises or devotional practices? Which came first? God knows, Lord Ganesa knows”. Well, the answer is that it depends entirely on context. In modern times the context can often be radically different. For example, into which category should we place a mass drill-type practice of suryanamaskar for children led by the Raja of Aundh circa 1935? Certainly he did not categorize it as yoga himself. It would have looked to many like a standard drill gymnastics of the time, and was to some extent conceived by the Raja as a replacement for this. And yet he clearly also recognized the “traditional” meaning of sun prostration." http://www.harmonyyoga.co.uk/2010/09/13/yoga-gymnastique-response-from-mark-singleton/ The general content of the "ancient" section can certainly be re-incorporated into the article as interesting precursors or a tradition that Suryanamaskar references or harkens back to. But it is not an actual history of Suryanamaskar itself and shouldn't be presented in such a way.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Tumacama ( talk • contribs) 22:11, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

I have doubts about the validity of including this. Adityahridayam contains phrases that repeatedly include the word "Salutations", but there are no mentions of physical movements, aside from looking towards the sun and sipping water. This seems like a desperate attempt to link postural yoga to Hindu scripture. Aside from being nominally dedicated to the sun or sun god, there seems to be no connection.

Surya Namaskār → Surya Namaskar – Remove diacritic to facilitate search and be in line with other articles on yoga asanas. The current spelling is also mistaken (the full IAST spelling would have two diacritics, Sūrya Namaskār) so we need to avoid that error.
