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.

भारतवर्ष में योगदिवस इस तरह मनाएं जैसे होली दिवाली एवं स्वतंत्रता दिवस -गणतंत्र दिवस मनाते हैं। सभी विद्यालयों एवं महाविद्यालयों में योग कक्षाएं शुरू हो तथा निश्चित तिथि के दिन समारोह के रूप में मनाया जाय। जिलास्तर पर प्रत्येक जिले में कार्यक्रम के द्वारा लोगों को योग के लिए प्रोत्साहित किया जाय। सभी सरकारी अस्पतालों में योग चिकित्सा पद्धति शुरू की जाय। सभी कम्पनियों में सेमीनार आयोजित हों। थियेटर एवं सिनेमा हॉल में योग का महत्व बताकर युवाओं को प्रेरित किया जा सकता है।

Ofcourse – it has to start from HRD ministry by way of starting it at School and college levels- Surya Namaskar is a must also added with some more asanas instead of PT’s. Make it compulsory for all schools- govt. or private.

1. Mann Ki BAAT Program can be done on YOGA Topic and some expert can be brought in as well. This to be done much before the actual Yoga International Day to bring in awareness & curiosity. 2. Develop a Good Program on YOGA - its History / Heritage , transformations , benefits etc and run it like 7 or 11 episodes in DD and all regional langauges.Each episode can be anchored by Rishis / Gurus like Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji etc.

Research activity on Patanjali Yoga needs to be initiated to keep india to be Yoga Guru of the world as Baba Ramdev trust have no interest in doing any research even making scholars of Patanjali yoga darshan except selling his products and some asanas of Sadhan Pada which is very first stage of Patanjali yoga darshan. Other three stages of Patanjali Yoga darshan -- Samadhi Pada, vibhuti pada, kevalya pada need to be widely shared among public which Baba Ramdev entirely failed to cover.
