In Sanskrit, ‘surya’ means sun and ‘namaskar’ means greeting or salutation. Surya Namaskar is then a greeting to the sun! Traditionally, the practice of Surya Namaskar was used as a means of paying respect to the sun. In Indian culture from which the practice came, the sun is regarded as the source of all life, and it is therefore of great importance.
