\nSome of the \"stretching\" movements of Surya-Namaskar complex may originate from the sun worship practice. However, its inclusion into the system of yoga practices was unknown until the XX century. The only mention of the Surya-Namaskar term in the mediaeval texts is a warning not to practise it on the ground, since this kind of repeated performance could cause bodily injuries. It implies that the complex was known before the XX century.\" <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The modern version of the Surya-namaskar sequence is known with accompaniment of mantras <\/span>\u2014<\/span> names of the Sun. If the complex itself could be considered as modern one, the technique of performing mantras has ancient roots. The exact date is unknown, but the earliest known reference to the name of the Sun is in \u201cMahabharata\u201d.<\/span><\/p>

Also, addressing the states of the Sun is known as addressing personifications of the psychological experiences of a person from primary sources of yoga:<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The word “mantra” comes from the root “man” <\/span>\u2014 “think” and the suffix “tra” that creates a noun meaning a tool or a place of action of the root. Mantra means literally a “tool for thinking”.<\/span><\/p>

The task of a mantra is to awaken a chosen psychological state that is associated with mantra in someone who practises it.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n One of the oldest practices in human history is repeating mantras - a set of particular sounds that have a resonant effect on individual areas of the brain and body. According to the research of contemporary neuropsychologists, the practice of chanting mantras indeed alters the relative amplitudes of brain rhythms, which facilitates the achievement of altered states of consciousness. \n
\n
\nMantras should not be confused with prayers or forms designed for verbal self-guidance, so they might not have semantic load (or may have).\u00a0 <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A tantric view on Sanskrit grammar also describes a connection between sounds and chakras <\/span>\u2014 the<\/span> energetic and emotional center of the human.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

There are images, where each letter of Sanskrit is placed on\u00a0 different areas of chakras (referring to\u00a0 different states of being). This connection is explained in many primary sources, where chakras are mentioned (Chakra-kaumudi. Yoga-vishnaya, Shat-chakra-nirupana, etc.). Hence, not only pronunciation of the word is tightly connected to an action and a state of being, but also pronunciation of the sound is connected to certain feelings.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
