ARUNA PRASNA (SURYA NAMASKARAM)
Amongst all the Veda Mantras, the 'Aruna Prashna' otherwise called Surya Namaskaram is considered as most significant one for worshiping the Surya Bhagwan. We have this entire mantras in the first prasna of Taitriya Aranyakam of Yajur Veda. This is called Surya Namaskara Prasnam.
In this Surya Namaskara Prasna, there are 32 Anuvaakams (chapters). 130 Panchaasath (paragraphs) can be found in this total 30 Anuvaakams. When the Japam is performed, it is in our sampradaya, to offer one sashtanaga namaskaram, facing east (Surya Bhagwan), at the end of every panchaathi (paragraph) or alternatively at the conclusion of each anuvaakam depending upon ones health condition. The last anuvaakam ends with the description of one vratam called 'samvatsara vratam' and also proclaims that one who does this vratam becomes a punyatma. It concludes with the following words: thapasvee [/i]punyo bhavathi, thapasvee punyo bhavathee. Generally this japam will be followed by and concluded with Navagraha Mantras.
This japam, if arranged with at least 8 Vedic Scholars, is one of immense significance and has great value.
Though this japam can be arranged and performed on any day it is preferable to do it on Sundays in the morning hours. It may take around two and half hours in total to complete this japam that includes purvanga and uttharanga pujas.
Aruna Prasna Mantra is chanted to get
* prosperity,
* health
* medha shakthi
and
* all round success.
It is certain to create positive vibrations - both internally and externally. Even listening to these mantras is considered a great boon for health and all round success.
The benefits that accrue from this surya namaskara japam are many - the most important of which is health and prosperity.
