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.

India should have research centers for yoga in every state and ancient literature regarding the yoga should be digitized and preserved. Govt. of India should make a digital library of all ancient Indian books that are written in Sanskrit, pali or other ancient language and should be made freely available via internet to its citizen, that way we will better understand ourselves and will have a better future.

Yoga has known to be effective for curing many mental disorders too, can the govt recruit teachers to institutes like NIMHANS, mentally challenged schools to teach yoga to those mentally challenged children and ppl with disabilities. It is a new type of treatment which has been successful in NIMHANS and requires more support.

1) Demonstrate Surya Namaskar at the UN forum followed by a brief session alternate nasal breathing. This can be followed by a small presentation on Patanjali and the scientific benefits of Yoga. 2)Make people post Youtube videos of themselves performing Surya Namaskar. Create an International challenge to perform 72 or 108 Surya Namaskars. Translate the Shanti Mantra in to English. 3) Let people organize mass AUM chanting in India. Indians can teach each other of Patanjali in Youtube videos.

The amount of foreign teachers of yoga far outnumbers Indians sadly. This is because of a lack of skills training in teaching which can attract many tourists to learn like medial tourism. In fact, country can export yoga trainers as part of soft power diplomacy as part of the Indian embassy

Why don't the parliamentarians do yoga on that day who are below 35. to encourage people in promoting it as it has immense strength to cure several mental and physical and joint-muscular diseases. Modiji u can take appropriate steps on it
