I don't but it doesn't mean that i don't agree that .
I am a chinese and i live at the foot of the Mountin Tai ,dou you know Mountain Tai ? He is one of the five famous mountain in our China .And in the ancient ,our emperors usually come here to worship the Mountain onle when his dynasty was very flourishing ,because they think the Mountain Tai is the place where the sun raise from and the sun which representes the life ,the hope and the power .

I do Surya-namaskar - Sun Salutation whenever i find time. This a posture of yoga with 12 steps.
Stand facing the direction of the sun with both feet touching. Bring the hands together, palm-to-palm, at the heart.
Inhale and raise the arms upward. Slowly bend backward, stretching arms above the head.
Exhale slowly bending forward, touching the earth with respect until the hands are in line with the feet, head touching knees.
Inhale and move the right leg back away from the body in a wide backward step. Keep the hands and feet firmly on the ground, with the left foot between the hands. Raise the head.
While exhaling, bring the left foot together with the right. Keep arms straight, raise the hips and align the head with the arms, forming an upward arch.
Exhale and lower the body to the floor until the the feet, knees, hands, chest, and forehead are touching the ground.
Inhale and slowly raise the head and bend backward as much as possible, bending the spine to the maximum (as in the naga-asana). While exhaling, bring the left foot together with the right. Keep arms straight, raise the hips and align the head with the arms, forming an upward arch.

A nice images inserted by you!
That will definitly help everyone who wants to to follow.
I too used to do this surya namskaras till 16 being a RSS man, later the professional studies changed my life and kept me too busy for a long time and I missed this pleasure forever.
Thanks for the response and I like people who dare to express their views openly & honestly.
All the best from oarnamav.
