Global Hindu Heritage Foundation has been consistently working to preserve and protect our Sanatana Dharma for decades.  Many people across India have been calling to find out how we organize Ghar Waapasi and what it takes to organize it in their respective states. We started Bala Samskar about One and half years ago with only a few schools. We have expanded to 200 villages to ensure that our children are protected from allurement and enticement.  Every Sunday, we include Surya Namaskar's activity in our syllabus. 
Bhramari Pranayama
Bhramari pranayama derives its name from the black Indian bee called Bhramari and pranayama meaning breathing technique. The exercise is performed by sitting comfortably in a calm place with the eyes closed. The students are asked to place their thumb in the ear canal or on tragal cartilage to gently block the ear canal. The index finger is placed over the eyebrow, and the other fingers are used to close the eyes. Then, the students are asked to take a deep breath and exhale slowly through their nose, making a loud humming sound and focusing their attention on the areas between the eyebrows. The process is repeated five times/session. The students are taught the pranayama and asked to perform the pranayama.

What is Surya Namaskar? 
In Sanskrit, Surya means sun, and Namaskar means greeting or salutation. Surya Namaskar is then a greeting to the sun! It is an ancient ritual of twelve steps that warms up the body, preparing it for yoga practice. That is why it is practiced at the beginning of a yoga class. This warming sequence has a rich history and holistic benefits for the body and mind. Read more to find out about this widely known and ancient yoga practice! 

The Purpose of Surya Namaskar 
Performing asanas in the rays of the sunrise sounds beautiful and inviting, but what are the real reasons why we should practice Surya Namaskar?
Surya Namaskar comprises 12 steps purposefully woven together to benefit mind and body in various ways. It is a practice in itself and a warming-up before performing further yoga asanas. It allows for the body to “open " as it stretches, strengthens, and lengthens all muscle groups. Surya Namaskar stimulates prana, life force energy, through the body, helping to regulate our mental and physical faculties.  
 
The Benefits of Surya Namaskar 
Various studies are emerging investigating the physical and mental health benefits of Surya Namaskar and yoga. As Western and Eastern medical systems merge, the energetic benefits of Surya Namaskara also emerge. Here, we look at some of these benefits and the connection between Surya Namaskar and the chakras.  

Physical Health Benefits  
Although Surya Namaskar can be practiced at any time of the day, it is best to practice at sunrise, as sun rays can help revitalize the body and mind. Surya Namaskar helps improve blood circulation and strengthen heart function. It also enhances resting cardiovascular parameters such as systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and pulse pressure. 
Surya Namaskar stimulates a rhythmic breathing process, as breath is synchronized with each movement. This empties the lungs more vigorously, allowing more oxygenated air to refill them.
