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.

Tortoise takes deep long breathes and lives longer. Dog takes short quick breathes and lives for a short period. Breathe is the key to the health of our body and that is why there is so much emphasis on conscious breathing in Yoga sastra. Therefore, it should be the focal point on the first international yoga day. We learn to listen to our breathe, we learn to live right.

The fundamental aspect in yoga is breath awareness. In fact, if there is one activity that we do unconsciously, it is breathing. Yet, it is the most important activity that is fundamental to our life. The first international yoga day can be celebrate with focus on our breathe. The theme can be Observer Your Breathe; Understand Your Breathe and Stay With Your Breathe. We could start learning yoga by learning to breathe right.

HON’ble swami vivekanandaji Wrote in his scripture of Vedanta that is When we work for others means we work for self. This concept is true when we see god &its Devine power within us &others. Devine power mask by ignorance, egoism, attachment to our desire, aversion,(dwesh)&clinging to life(jivana askati) so we cannot see god within us &another person. We are only seeing the body, mind of person its behavior which librates bad or good work .it is our ignorance.

“Higher education& expert knowledge is superficial strength of brain but true strength stay in heart (ANTKARAN) with knowledge &it’s creativity because Devine power of spirit( atma) stay in heart (ANTKARAN) which librates knowledge of helping nature , unselfish, love to all, good attitude, all ethics.” So we should work with heart & brain that result in higher strength to work.
