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.

My suggestion is to teach the basic of YOGA – A pre-Vedic Indian Tradition: Human existence is due to our physical and mental and spiritual state. Yoga (literally meaning योग = Addition) is science to add these states. Yoga is described in “The Bhagwat Gita” – Karma (Action) Yoga, Bhakti (Worship) Yoga and Jnana (Knowledge) Yoga Patanjli Sutras describes Hatha Yoga-Physical Exercise of body with control of breath Raj Yoga – Yoga of Mind to train mind to focus one one point

If we work with brain knowledge problem will not be solved but if we work with heart (ANTKARAN) problem will be solved due to Devine power stays in heart. It is known as helping nature, unselfish work its creative spirituality. It is true dharma which gives us peace of mind, good health without stress tension

Identify the yoga traditions which are classical and vedic and get their expert advice. The world has to be told that yoga is just not asanas and physical fitness, but it is a lifestyle and covers the entire human personality. Practices should have mantra, asanas, breathing, meditation, mind and emotion management tools. At UN – practice of OM chanting with visualisation of candle flame. 3 spinal stretch asanas, shavasana, bhramari pranayama (30 mins) Talk on holistic yoga.....need more space.
