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.

The contribution of Sri Paramahansa Yogananda (author of 'Autobiography of a Yogi') and his line of Masters (Rev. Babaji, Rev. Sri Lahiri Mahasaya and Rev. Sri Yukteswar Ji) to understanding and global dissemination of true meaning of yoga, cannot be summed up in words. Kriya Yoga, the highest pranayama that naturally leads to meditation, is a super-science with miracle-like results.The body,the mind,the perceptions,attitudes,feelings - everything undergoes great purification and transformation.

Difference between Internal Yoga (yogakarma sukaushalam / Kriyayoga) and External Yoga (yoga-asana/exercise) should be known to one and all. External yoga is for maintaining good health and body but it does not give any clue to Soul/Prana within body. Internal yoga practice leads to realization of our Still State Prana/Soul by stilling 49 airs (thus 49 alphabets in Sanskrit) in body. Essence of Internal yoga has been expatiated/approved in all scriptures like Vedas, Vedanta, Upanishads, Gita.

Yoga is not mainly about the Asanas (physical postures), as most people (especially in the West) think. It is the scientific technique of self-management leading to ultimate union with the Divine, our source and destination. Nor is it a dogmatic part of Hinduism ; it is for all. Here is my blog on Speakingtree.in : http://www.speakingtree.in/public/spiritual-blogs/seekers/science-of-spirituality/yoga-is-not-part-of-any-religion-its-a-spiritual-practice

We being pioneer of the Yoga should declare it as a national festival and on the day maximum people should be invited to join the mission through webcast and other digital, electronic medium to addressed by Sh. Narendra Modi, PM of India and should have a awareness session followed by a Yoga session by Yoga Teachers at each centre. At least one centre should be established by volunteers in all villages of India to join maximum people.
