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.

Youth should be made to be proud of our rich heritage. We have the oldest calendar in the world ( The kali varsha). But Europeans and after Independence those submissive to European culture recognised only Saka and Vikramaditya calenders which are of later or near about origin as Gregorian calendar. First we should recognise Kali Varsha calendar for official purposes. Instead of bringing American and western trained personnel, we should have those who are well versed in Arthasastra.

I dont understand why in India Uniform civil court is not implemented for every religions. Islamic Dharmgurus are preventing Islam to be modified according to modern culture. What should be important is Healthy society with independent thinking. I think Islam is still not independent of its old stereotype thinking. People are still under the prison of these stereotype and illiterate Dharma guru's.People are not free to think, live or get desired education!!! They cant think b'yond their religion

Yoga should become a way of life for an Indian as it used to be in the past. At least in India, the way we don't forget to brush our teeth, every one of us should some form of yoga for inner cleansing. One initiative that I wish to suggest for government to announce is Yoga parks or Yoga sthalas where people can assemble in the mornings to do some genuine form of yoga and play games etc. These sthalas can also be used to promote the profoundness of Indian culture.

"लोकतंत्र में आत्मशक्ति का विकास" प्राचीन सिद्ध महायोग के एक अति सरल (इसमें करना कुछ भी नही होता है), बिना खर्च के एक अभ्यास में, अनायास चित्तशुद्धि कारक आत्मशक्ति का प्रत्यक्ष अनुभव देनेकी क्षमता है . २१ जून, अंतर राष्ट्रीय योग दिवस के निमित्त, इस अभ्यास का परिचय अखंड विश्वसे कराना उचित होगा. कृपया संपर्क करे.

Yoga must be included from Class one in our teaching system. Like Roti, Kapda aur Makan, Yoga should be daily part of our life for better living of every Indians. Like disney or Spiderman, YOGA can be a very strong Indian property, which should rule the world and contribute significantly to Indias growth while attracting Foreign Investments. Every, Village, Panchayats, Blocks, Sub-divisions, Districts and smart cities should have better yoga centers. Can be managed by Tourism or HRD Minister.

Yoga should make compulsory for all Indian schools( Public, Private etc) This is a tool to make our body and mind stronger & healthy. There is no any connection with religion any how. In first phase all govt school to introduce the yoga in daily after the prayer etc. In 2nd phase all private/public school will initiate the program without any excuse or explanation. Every subsidy and approval must be linked with this initiative.

YOGA IS NOT A RELIGION. IT IS PRACTICE OF MENTAL, PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT. IT IS NOT AGAINST ANY RELIGION. THERE ARE MANY MISCONCEPTION ABOUT YOGA.IT IS NOT ONLY PHYSICAL EXERCISE BUT PRACTICE TO CONNECT ALMIGHTY ALSO. ISLAMIC PRAYAER NAMAZ(SALAT) ALSO A SIMPLE FORM OF YOGA. IT IS ALSO A COMMBINATION OF ASANA,MEDITATION AND MANTRA CHANTING.NAMAZ IS BELONG TO PERTICULAR FAITH BUT YOGA PRACTICES CAN BE GENERALIZED FOR ALL AFTER SOME MODIFICATION.
