In December 2014 the United Nations declared 21st June as ‘International Day of Yoga’ after 177 nations across all continents of the world co-sponsored a resolution seeking the same.

When the resolution was adopted, Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed immense joy on this and said that Yoga has the power to bring the entire humankind together. It may be recalled that the Prime Minister had mooted such an idea during his speech at the United Nations General Assembly in September 2014.

You are requested to provide inputs on the following aspects relating to the marking of the first ever ‘International Day of Yoga’.

(1) How can the ‘International Day of Yoga’ be celebrated at the UN forum?

(2) Suggest creative ways in which the ‘International Day of Yoga’ can be celebrated at the world stage.

(3) What are ways in which we can mark the ‘International Day of Yoga’ across the length and breadth of India?

Best inputs and suggestions would be sent to the Prime Minister himself and would also be utilized.

The PubMed database reports >90% of yoga research relates to health conditions. It is less known that yoga seeks to align individual health with social health. The Gita (5.23, 6.20-25) says yoga helps us to live as human-e beings, coping with frustration & remaining unperturbed in the face of great troubles. The government can collaborate with national & international public & private universities to initiate research & create awareness on this aspect of yoga for a better, more peaceful world.

The letter my spiritual Master wrote to UNO in 1957 is given in the attachment. It's a simple prayer ALL PEOPLE OF THE WORLD ARE GROWING PEACE LOVING AND PIOUS to be prayed for 15 minutes simultaneously by all the people in this World. We the aspirants of Natural Path/Pranahuti Aided Meditation (www.sriramchandra.org)-a modified Rajyoga to suit modern man, do it at 9 p.m. (local time). All may also adopt the same time for praying individually from their respective places.

Any Person who talks against yoga should first do some yoga exercises, even though he is unwilling, them experience the changes in his body, the flexibility, the effect on mind and thoughts, & only then he should comment. the boon 'YOGA' which the great saint Patanjali gave indians is to be worshipped. it does not promulgate or encourage any religion. it is being practised all over the world by people of various religions with stunning effects on health and mind.participate in event on 21st JUNE

Please note that nobody has right to remove "OM" from Yoga in international day of Yoga which is on 21st of June. "OM" represents universe and it is a part of Hindu Culture, if people wants Yoga they have to go with the symbole of Yoga which is "OM"

Having tremendous cultural and spiritual depth, in India, countable people practice Yoga. I practice Sahaja Yoga, which is purely scientific and about knowing yourself, your spirit, your power. I believe, practicing this will take every individual and our nation in turn to greater heights. I wish Sahaja Yoga should be kept as a part of curriculum.

Yoga should be made compulsory in all schools.........Schools should start with a yoga lecture and a practical session. But first stop nudity in films, TV and society. If you do want to stop nudity it means you do not want India progress. You are just doing formalities.
