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.

Emphasis should be given to introduce mandatory training in yoga in all schools. All offices should conduct half an hour yoga training per week for all employees.

I am feeling grateful, that I can share my views. So, firstly, I would like to take attention about problems which students and people generally feel. As I am student, so, I would mainly draw attention towards student only, because I feel, we youth are the future of the nation. If our youth will be focused, and would be physically and mentally fit, then our nation will touch the peak of success. On that day, dance/sports/yoga/meditation any of these should be made mandatory to schools/colleges.

Let it not see the fate of other international days like - womens day, or aids prevention day, tobacco prevention day. Let every household start their day with YOGA. to achieve this any thing any every thing related to YOGA benefits should be encouraged. MOre the people know about YOGA - more is the acceptation. It should be highly discouraged that - it is related to religion. Let it be compulsory in all playschool, kids school, and all educational institutions.

Wonderful & Inspiring proposal by PM Modi ji, and equally optimistic that the UN has adopted June 21 as International Yoga Day. It would be wonderful for Yoga to be integral in global lifestyles of the future, to invite children, from all demographics , to celebrate this event at the UN or in other places on this day. The young generation needs to understand and adopt Yoga and peaceful ways, so the world becomes a peace filled planet. Children will adopt and lead the way of Peace. Namaste ~!~

I still remember on every Saturday after 12.30 p.m. we need to have physical education classes. Y can't all schools & colleges upto 12th standard have 1hr of Yoga classes across Pan India. This should be done with good instructor and Govt has to rope in Great Yoga Guru/Experts in this field to make it a big event. There should be program mes in TV about the benefits of YOGA and its usefulness to human mankind in this busy world of so many problems....student to mother to office goers..

What are ways in which we can mark the ‘International Day of Yoga’ across the length and breadth of India? ------- I think rather than adopting the strategy of popularising Yoga post 21st June, 2015, we should take it upon ourselves to start popularising the International Day of Yoga from today onwards, so that the momentum builds up and Yogic activities can be popularised with double the popularity achieved on June 21st.

Suggest creative ways in which the ‘International Day of Yoga’ can be celebrated at the world stage ------- SAARC nations can come together and announce a Yoga tourist PKG - Citizens will be selected via a lucky draw - The respective Govt will bear most the charge of the PKG. The selected citizens will get a chance to visit an exotoc location of one of the SAARC countries for a three-to-seven days. For those many days, selected number of citizens for all the SAARC nations will live a Yogic schd

What are ways in which we can mark the ‘International Day of Yoga’ across the length and breadth of India? ------- Distribution of MERCHANDISE - Who will do this? for e.g. YOGA MAT manufacturers can subsidise the prices on June 21st and sell them.
