Hanuman Sun Salutations

FREE Workshop

January 1, 2026
7:00am PST
Online Zoom
with Arun Deva

Legend has it that Hanuman wanted to pay the Sun for being his guru. But the Sun told him that the way he had studied, backpedalling so as to face the Sun as he traversed the sky and diligently remembering everything he was being taught, was payment enough.

Hanuman then created the Sun Salutations we practice in so many forms today as his gift of gratitude.

In this workshop we will practice a unique version that includes the Salutation itself. 12 times. For the 12 names of the Sun.

This New Year this is our salutation to Hanuman for all he teaches us. Jai Gurudeva, Jai Hanuman!

We chant the Arogya Mantra to support holistic health, by purifying all aspects of the human system, help reduce stress, and align with higher energies for overall well-being, longevity, and inner peace. It’s a prayer for robust physical, emotional, and spiritual health. It helps shift from negative patterns (like ego, fear, anger) towards sattva (purity, harmony) by strengthening our entire being and connecting with divine support.

Key Reasons for Chanting Arogya Mantra

Holistic Healing: It addresses physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects, aiming to remove blockages in all layers of being (koshas).
Purification: It’s believed to cleanse the system of impurities, negative emotions, and deeply ingrained unwanted behavioral patterns.
Stress & Anxiety Reduction: The rhythmic chanting and focused breath calm the nervous system, reducing tension and promoting a balanced state.
Vibrational Upliftment: It introduces higher frequencies, helping to dissolve lower energies (like laziness, anger) and tune into higher consciousness and inner peace.
Connection to Divine: It’s a prayer asking for divine nourishment and support for the body’s functions and overall life.

It’s a powerful tool for self-recalibration, promoting vitality, clarity, and a deeper sense of well-being.
