A Practice of Devotion

The Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year, the time of the year when we are at the peak of Solar or Yang energy. It provides us with the opportunity to celebrate the sun (Surya) as a visible form of the Divine and the giver of Prana. In Yoga the sun is viewed as the spiritual heart of the world, just like our own heart is viewed as our inner sun and the place of true wisdom that comes from within. Surya is also a symbol of Truth and the awakener of consciousness. Thus when we bow to Surya 108 times, we are awakening the deeper spiritual truths we hold within our own hearts.
