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.

YOGA is not a new one but a system of mental, physical and durable and sustainable emergency Health care system where life style in any point may be controlled. A self respect ...determination... eco-motive mind setting is possible to develop a leadership very close to the kinetic sage our gurudev Rabindra nath Tagore. He practically left no stone untouched for the verdict in 'life style' management.Sir, we the 'BHARATYA'[Indians] differ in culture but united in strength in terms of Yoga

We have to have awareness programmes. What are the uses of Yoga? Now a days yoga practice in India is less than in western countries. May be we can talk about easy ways of starting to do it

What are ways in which we can mark the ‘International Day of Yoga’ across the length and breadth of India? ------- Air India can mark IYDay by asking the flight attendants to play short duration Pranayam tutorials on board and ask passengers to do the same. A Yoga guru can pay a surprise visit to the flight and introduce Yoga to the passengers.

What are ways in which we can mark the ‘International Day of Yoga’ across the length and breadth of India? ------- YOGA COACH IN MUMBAI SUBURBAN TRAINS - The Railway ministry can mark IYday by announcing a Yoga coach in every Suburban train in Mumbai. BVW to CHG - One hour of Yoga. Now, who will be allowed to board that coach is debatable.

(Cont.)....... What are ways in which we can mark the ‘International Day of Yoga’ across the length and breadth of India? ------- The same railway officials will ask people to join Yoga teachers who will teach Yoga to them in that same coach every day. I understand trains are packed on weekdays but Pranayam can still be done. This will also improve relations between the railways and passengers.

प्रधानमंत्री जी,'INTERNATIOAL DAY OF YOGA BE CELEBRATED AT THE UN LIKE THIS-योग हिन्दू धर्म का झंडा नहीं है .यह विश्व मानव का विराट आकाश है.आकाश एक ऐसा झंडा है ,जो अन्तरिक्ष में बिना किसी डंडे के सहारे सदियों से लहरा रहा है .जबकि मानव द्वारा बनाये राष्ट्रधवज बिना एक डंडे की सहायता के लहरा नहीं पाते हैं.अब हालत ये हो गये हैं कि कुछ राष्ट्रों के राष्ट्रध्वज तो आतंकवाद के मात्र हिंसक डंडे बनकर पूरी दुनिया को तबाह कर रहे हैं.तो पूरी दुनिया को एक ''विश्व योग ध्वज ''की स्थापना करनी चाहिए .तब योग पूर्ण

What are ways in which we can mark the ‘International Day of Yoga’ across the length and breadth of India? ------- Take Yoga to the people wherever they are for e.g. Luckily 21st June, 2015 is a Sunday, Suburban trains in Mumbai are not that packed. Some volunteers or for that matter people, NGOs and Railway official should take an LED screen and enter into any random coach and show a Yoga related DVD, CD. This is how we can mark IYday. The long term plan should be (Cont.)

What are ways in which we can mark the ‘International Day of Yoga’ across the length and breadth of India? ------- Distribution of Yoga related pamphlets in Trains, Flights, Airports, Stations, Inside Newspapers. Hoardings alongside roads should also be painted with Yoga related messaging. Radio channels, TV networks also. It should be allover. This should not only be done by the Govt but the people in general.
