Japanese worship is a synthesis of yoga postures and rooted in Vedic philosophy. The Sanskrit name "surya" refers to the sun and "namaskara" refers to "greetings". The sun symbolizes spiritual consciousness. In ancient times, people worshipped the sun every day. The form of worshipping the sun began in ancient times, when human beings just realized the spiritual power of themselves and the universe. This consciousness is the foundation of yoga.
