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.

We need to take Yoga to people. Hence Yoga- practitioners/ NGOs/ enthusiast should volunteer to take sessions in school/ colleges/ corporates.

Ans to Q.2- Suggest creative ways in which the ‘International Day of Yoga’ can be celebrated at the world stage.------ An equivalent of Earth Hour - 'Yoga Hour' should be celebrated across the planet. This year 21st June falls on a Sunday... so to implement this would be easier.

On the UN forum, being the 1st, the scope of yoga in all its dimensions and benefits can be showcased through videos and live demonstrations/ presentations. The theme - INDIA's Gift to the world. There is also need to clear myths and falsehoods surrounding it. Another presentation to cover the global uptake in different countries. Finally a clarion call for collaborative research to establish evidence based usefulness of yoga for complete health - physical, mental and spiritual also prosperity
