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.

Involve heath insurgence companies, hospitals, Pension department of the Govts etc for regular ads on benefits on Yoga. Facilities like yoga centers details can be incorporated in ads. Institutions which are going great work like Baba Ramdev or Mahrushi Mahesh Yogi institute etc can be roped in to provide information on their institutes online and also by email, sms etc. A institute for training Yoga teachers etc needed to be established in each state.

Yoga is gaining importance across across the world- especially Europe and USA-but it has more potential. UN provides a platform for creating more awareness. It can be celebrated by speeches of famous celebrities- film stars and sportsperson- who have been practicing Yoga. Awards to people who are actively promoting it - an Award should be instituted in the name of Tirumalai Krishnamacharya or BKS Iyengar. An International logo for Yoga should be designed for to give yoga a tangible symbol.
