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.

It will be ideal to implement the practice of “Ashtanga yoga” as only learning of yogasans alone is not what Yoga delivers. The ultimate aim of Yoga is to join body and mind. It is very important to impart complete knowledge and training of five parts of Bhahiranga yoga such as Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama and Pratyahara to all children above 12 years of age and also to encourage all elders too to understand and practice these five parts in their day to day life. Further it will be desired to make everyone aware about the three parts of Antaranga yoga, i.e. Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi By implying the education of Bhahiranga yoga, we can achieve health, peace and happiness in the society, which can make the social structure of the society free from hatred and jealousy. The institutions doing this work free (such as Shree Ambika Yoga kuteer, Thane Maharashtra) must be encouraged to spread their activity all over the country.

Sir in my opinion Yoga must be included in the course of the regular education of the students. So that they can be able to different Aasans of Yoga without joining any other classes of yoga. By doing this childrens can easily learn about all the patterns of yoga and they will be able to teach it their neighbourhood. Every teaching is usefull for every student which he learn from his school.

Ancient Indian Yoga is a soul-science or Self Realisation. It is named "Karmyoga in Bhagvad Gita" and was revived by Yogiraj Sri Shyamacharan Lahiri of Kashi in 19th century. He renamed it as "Kriyayoga".While describing greatness of the ancient Yoga Sadhana or Kriyayoga He says "rog na rahe,paap jalave,nirmal kare,timir nashe, gyan hove" meaning" Kriyayoga will bring health,it will burn your bad deeds, it will dawn the supreme knowledge of self & destroy darkness from life.
