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.

Explanation: • In BHARATH, it should be through the path of SAMAJA-YOGA (be one with the society): How much heartfelt time one gives to our own society in addressing the needy or general national cause, should be the first priority. • Taking up an area where a community/ies or as a person can achieve the cause of social oneness or social harmony. • It would be very good if all the Yoga sadhakas come together on a common stage and declare the need of practicing and imbibing the qualities of YOGA

(1) How can the ‘International Day of Yoga’ be celebrated at the UN forum?
