Strength, Efficiency and Longevity, which God intended for
you. You will thus see that the Namaskars possess the unique
feature of co-ordinated actions
of all the vital organs, nerves, muscles and other parts of the
system, which are stimulated, developed and strengthened
simultaneously, a result not achieved by any other single
exercise.
The book also states, We do not profess that the Surya
Namaskars are a panacea for all the ills that the human flesh is
heir to, but we do claim that this system, if loyally and
steadfastly followed, will reward the performer with superb
Health, vibrant Energy, active Efficiency and Longevity.
