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.

Please checkout the Android Application "Daily Yoga". Govt of India can launch an application like this to make the yoga as a habit for the citizen of India.

Today world is restless and kinetic which is reflected everywhere. Stillness is the solution. Kriyayoga can calm and pacify this world. Thus world today needs kriyayoga as remedy for all ills.

Yoga should not be considered only physical and breathing exercises. It has deep root with application of knowledge of body, mind, soul and spirit. Indian ancient scriptures are full of these knowledge, these should be brought to common people of world through govt. institutes after proper research not through only the spiritual gurus. Indian ancient knowledge centre may be formed by researchers and may formulate suitable technique to address Yoga to the world, compare with other religious book

I was watching the video of Yogi Coudoux, it was so inspirational and clearly tells u the power of Yoga and its benefits. Before the International Yoga Day..all the YOGA experts around the globe should be called to India and make them perform and speak the benefits of Yoga...and also famous film personalities who are into this profession and guide the people of India in a better way rather than just finding controversy in every part of life and make the media also take responsibliities
