Then we will experience the completely positive consciousness that already exists deep within us. There are six bija mantras. They are: Om hraam Om hreem Om hroom Om hraim Om hraum Om hraha The glorification mantras highlight the glorious qualities of the sun. Beginning with the first, each mantra is chanted with complete awareness before every cycle of Surya Namaskar.

Through this simple set of steps, we can realize that the outer sun symbolizes the shining intelligence of our inner Self. We come to understand our connection to the cosmic energy that is all pervasive.
