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.

YOGA IS GOOD FOR PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT.PLEASE MAKE IT GENERAL AND DO NOT RELATE IT WITH ANY RELIGION.IDOL WORSHIP IS NOT ALLOWED IN MANY FAITHS. FOR YOGA NO NEED TO CHANT PARTICULAR MANTRAS .ALL YOGIC PRACTICES SHOULD BE GENERAL NOT ACCORDING TO PARTICULAR FAITH SO THAT EVERYBODY CAN PRACTICE YOGA. AS SHRI SHRI RAVISHANKAR HAS MODIFIED HIS ART OF LIVING PRACTICES IN GULF, PAKISTAN LIKE COUNTRIES.NO NEED TO IMPOSE SARASWATI VANDANA, SURYANAMASKARA ETC ON ALL .

It is great that Yoga has been recognized in this way. It is mainly because of Modiji, as he is personally interested in that. May you long live PM.

Increase in worldwide rape, sex/porn culture is directly proportional to increase in physical comfort level of society. Men who tolerate hunger, injuries or any kind of physical discomfort have automatic ability to control their sex-drive. Hence Commandos, farmers or men working in physically discomfortable professions are least likely to rape/molest women than others. As Yoga trains to discipline body-mind, it will be of great help to reduce this worldwide evolutionary crisis.

Ask people including children to make a picture collage of them practicing various yoga poses. There is this thing in social media where people supporting a cause post a picture of that cause as their display picture. The same can b done for IDoY.It will be a cool picture, will b symbolic for the occasion, will encourage people 2 try out new asanas & practice them 2 get in shape & look nice in the pictures. Spread the word so that as many people have their dp practicing YOGA on June 21.

Make Yoga Cool. That's the only way to get teenagers to bring in. Alcohol/Cigarette/Cold-drink companies do exactly that. Make it Cool. Large scale adoption happens automatically.Once teenagers are in, rest of the population starts feeling comfortable doing it. There has been a systematic campaign to make yoga doer look like a loser. Need to rewrite this perception. If convinced, Contact me for more details.

yoga holds all round fitness,stress_relief,weight_loss,inner_peace,enhanced_immunity,living with greater awareness,better_relationships,increase in energy,better_flexibility,better intuition..it would be good if yoga is started practising in all work environment daily for some scheduled times.Since in this rushing day to day life, maximum no one can find time for yoga in their home(difficult to have a calm place in their home).Implementing it in work environment,it would be great stress relief..
