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.

Yes..YOGA...the boon the ancestors have given. We excel in all fields from the dates unknown. When dust fills on the golden throne it cannot shine. Wipe and keep them clean see the giltter. So all our vedic sources are now hidden. Make them come out and they shine brighter than sun. This is a good move in the direction. So let all our culture be polished again.

Government yoga centres with good instructors in 10: 1 should be employed and people should be trained with a fee and in this way people secure good health and we can lessen a percent of unemployment and unhealthy people.

Sir, Please make it as a part of school curriculum atleast in govt schools so that the next generation can get the benefit of YOGA.At least it can be rolled out on a trial basis in few locations and rolled out across. Now it is available only in select private schools.

This day can not be celebrated without participaion of our young generations, 1) uneviling potrait of patanali-yoga guru in delhi 2) a program to be held in pragti maidan where PM himself goes and practise yoga with his ministers as it will reach every household of india through channels of social media. 3) schools to be ordered to call students for 1hour session of yoga on sunday morning.
