Surya Namaskar - prayers to the Sun-god

http://www.harekrsna.de/surya/surya-names.htm PURPORT Sri Isopanishad, Verse15 : In the Bhagavad-gita (14.27), the Lord explains His personal rays (brahmajyoti), the dazzling effulgence of His personal form, in this way: brahmano hi pratishthaham / amritasyavyayasya ca sasvatasya ca dharmasya / sukhasyaikantikasya ca "I am the basis of the impersonal Brahman, which is immortal, imperishable and eternal and is the constitutional position of ultimate happiness." Brahman, Paramatma and Bhagavan are three aspects of the same Absolute Truth.
