12 Surya Namaskar Mantra - Makar Sankranti Special | Lord Surya Devotion

There will be no life on the earth without the sun, and the Surya Namaskaras or the Sun Salutations, as they are popularly called, are an ancient method of showing gratitude or paying respect to the sun that is the source of all forms of life on the earth.
