Chandra Namaskāra
Salutation of the Moon

The Vedic scriptures speak of the spiritual and cosmic importance of the solar and lunar phases. The Sun controls our soul, while the Moon has command of our mind. The interaction of these two planets produces changing phases of the Moon. Changing from new to full moon and in reverse, these phases affect Earth, animal and plant life and human body, mind and emotions.
Chandra Namaskāra is a practice of adoration of the Moon. In Sanskrit, Chandra means "the moon" and Namaskāra stands for "salutation, adoration". This practice linked with the lunar cycles consists of fourteen asanas performed with the left and right side. The sequence of the asanas matches the 14-day movement of the Moon to the full moon phase and the 14-day movement to the new moon phase.

Chandra Namaskāra is performed 14 times, with 7 cycles for the left and right side, reciting the mantras of the Nityas. Regular practices of Chandra Namaskara purify vital energy that circulates in the body and allow to control varying moods, actions and other processes in human life influenced by the change of the Nityas.
The best time for performing this practice is the evening or the night when the Moon is visible.

Chandra Namaskara
Mėnulio Pasveikinimas

Vedų raštuose kalbama apie dvasinę ir kosminę Saulės bei Mėnulio fazių svarbą. Saulė valdo mūsų sielą, o Mėnulis -- mūsų protą. Šių dviejų planetų sąveikoje atsiranda kintančios Mėnulio fazės. Nuo jaunaties iki pilnaties ir atgal besikeisdamos fazės daro įtaką Žemei, gyvūnijai, augmenijai, žmogaus kūnui, protui ir emocijoms.
Chandra Namaskara -- tai Mėnulio garbinimo praktika. Išvertus iš sanskrito kalbos Chandra reiškia „mėnulį", Namaskara -- „sveikinimą, garbinimą". Ši, su mėnulio ciklais susijusi praktika, susideda iš keturiolikos asanų, atliekamų kaire ir dešine pusėmis. Asanų seka atitinka 14-os dienų Mėnulio judėjimą iki pilnaties dienos ir 14-os dienų judėjimą iki jaunaties dienos.

Chandra Namaskara atliekama 14 kartų, po 7 ciklus kaire ir dešine pusėmis, tariant Deivių Nitjų mantras. Reguliariai praktikuojant Chandra Namaskara išsigrynina kūne cirkuliuojanti gyvybinė energija, todėl tampa įmanoma valdyti kintančias nuotaikas, veiksmus ir kitus Deivių Nitjų kaitos įtakojamus procesus žmogaus gyvenime.
Praktiką geriausia atlikti vakare arba naktį, ypač, kai Mėnulis yra mattmas.

Love the music! Beautifully done video. But This is Sun Salutation.

[innersoulspace]

Sorry, but this flow as far as I knew from Markandeya yoga this one is surya namaskara. The original, or classic one. And the classic chandra namaskara started with vajrasana, followed by mudasana/balasana, bujangasana, and so on.
