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.

योगश्चित्तवृत्ति निरोध:: But what is happening is that Asanas have come to symbolise Yoga in consumerist society. People are not interested in purifying mind (मन); they are interested in body. All the 8 stages of yoga must be traversed: यम, नियम, आसन, प्राणायाम, प्रत्याहार, धारणा, ध्यान, समाधि। Vipashyana (विपश्यना ) can help one comprehend and master Pratyahar, Dharana, Dhyan and Samaadhi.

In yoga day In India, we can give first 15 mins of the day to yoga in all offices. Before that spread the meaning and benefits of yoga to all by using different communication channels. If possible, our Indian embassy in other countries can also organise an event for yoga for the people of other countries on that day.

World knows Yoga only as a type of exercise or meditation. As a celebration, we should represent the Yoga with its ancient history, divisions & sub-divisions (like Yam, Niyam etc.), Surya Namaskar etc. at UN forum and make whole world aware of the Original Yoga.

We can celebrate this through various means: 1.Mass participation for particular Asan like SURYA NAMASKAR 2.Educate and communicate benefits of YOG through each and every part of Gram Panchayat, Block, ...to Ministry, Loksbha, Rajyasabha 3. Women can do something more in this area because her health is the foundation of family and community health and social progress. This chain is crossover the globalization. 4. Every education centre should incorporate their assembly with yogic exercises
