Surya Namaskar Mantras
From Yoga Life 2011 Spring 节选自瑜伽生活2011春季刊
总结自Swami Sivananda的写作
Every year the sun passes through twelve different phases known as the zodiacal signs in western astrology, and as the rashis in Hindu astrology. According to Hindu astrology, each rashi has specific attributes or moods, and in each of these twelve moods the sun is given a different name. The sun mantras are not merely names of the sun, but every sound syllables contained in them is the vehicle of a basic, eternal energy represented by the sun itself.
每年太阳都会经过西方占星学里的十二个不同阶段，也称为星座，在印度占星学中称为Rashi。根据印度的占星学，每个Rashi都有对应的特质或心性；而太阳对应于这十二个心性都有不同的名字。太阳曼陀罗并非只是太阳不同的名字，其中每个音节都包含了太阳本身代表的一种基本而又永恒的能量。
