Abstract

In ancient time, sages used to do fasting, Yogasanas, chanting Mantras and various other activities, for the maintainance of the longevity of life. Alongwith Ayurveda, Yoga is the oldest and most scientific science for the maintenance of life. It involves not only the physical cure but also cares for the psychological system of body. Surya Namaskara is also a very useful Yoga practice. Yoga practices were initiated by the esteemed sages who knew that these practices maintain health and lead to greater social creativity and productivity. In recent years, more and more people are turning towards Yoga as a source for exploring and improving their inner lives. Anatomy is closely corelated to Suryanamaskara as it stimulates major muscles of body such as pectoralis major, biceps brachii, deltoid, triceps brachii, rectus abdominis, quadriceps femoris, gastrocnemius etc. This stimulation increases vascularization in the body and transmits enormous energy in the human beings.
