Here comes the Sun.

Sanskrit mantras for Sun ( Surya ) and Moon ( Chandra ) from the Vedic traditions of Sanatana Dharma ( Hindu culture ), and a related mantra from Vedacarya David Frawley. Plus some George Harrison.

Sun and moon worship are very ancient and universal pagan practices. I personally have really missed the sun for many months due to a winter that extended through early April.

We all share the same sun over the same earth. Let's celebrate the healing strength of the natural elements. All Our Relations.

May the Circle Be Open And Unbroken!

Surya Namaskara, or the "Sun salutation"

A well-known Hindu mode of worship of the devotional movements of Surya is done at the rising of the Sun, known as Surya namaskara (Sun Salutation). Ten yogic postures are assumed in successive flowing movements to complete one namaskar. Twelve sacred Hindu mantras uttered and for each mantra one complete namaskar is done. Ancient practice is to do 108 namaskaras a day. It is considered most auspicious by Hindus to do this.

The 12 mantras for surya namaskara:

1. aum mitraya namah
2. aum ravayé namah
3. aum suryaya namah
4. aum bhanavé namah
5. aum khagaya namah
6. aum pushné namah
7. aum hiranyagarbhaya namah
8. aum marichayé namah

Above is the Mantra to the Supreme Light, Param Jyoti Mantra, which is a famous Vedic, Vedantic and Tantric Mantra. We could also spell it phonetically as OM HREEM HAMSA SO HAM SWAHA!

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right
It's all right
