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.

ALL MEDIAs TELLING ONLY ONE SIDE / NEGATIVE NEWS ABOUT BJP MINISTERS / BJP, BUT NOT TELLING / REPEATING POSITIVE NEWS OF BJP, RSS & BJP MINISTERS. PLS ARRANGE TO START YOUR OWN / BJP TV CHANNELS IN ENGLISH, HINDI & OTHER REGIONAL LANGUAGES. TELL BJP's / PM-MODI's / OTHER MINISTERS ACHIEVEMENTS ( like Avg.11 kms per day Road works being done by Highways Dept. daily, Gen V.K.

yoga's benefits are uncountable and many are known to it. my view is that yoga is not the thing to mint money on. Those who know yoga should be motivated to make other learn it and spread it. secondly, our ashrams in mysore, rishikesh etc should be given world recognition , and natural medicines, ayurveda, natural therapies should be promoted. tourist get attracted to these areas more and this will create next level publicity to india's tourism.

yoga is not useful. exercise is useful but it is not part of yoga. the last sutra of patanjali yoga yoga says it is state of thoughtless,desire less,separation of PURUS FROM PRAKRITI,thus end of vitality.The aim of Patanjali yoga is freedom from cycle of life and death.No rebirth is the aim of Indian philosophy. Patanjali philosophy is one of them.Please read yoga philosophy in detail. It is not good for world to give importance to yoga.Pranayam is harmful to body.

My suggestion *To make yoga a compulsory activity in all urban and rural area schools especially for girls which is needed to keep them away from all health problems *A short film can be taken on the history and importance of yoga in a innovative way which will attract and capture people's attention , which can uploaded in social networking site like Facebook so it may spread not only in India it may reach all over the world
