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.

I learnt Yoga at ealier age in Narendra shakha, Mlore. Sri Ajith Kumar, Dr.Madhav Bhandary guided me in this art. I feel it should be practiced by everyone at least one hr in the Mornings. Games/Recreation club,Societies,SevaSamaj & schools should be convinced to organise this at least once in 15 days voluntarily, so that people participate and learn for bette life.Late practice at home and teach childrens at young age, Award prizes to good ones.Then this will become a part of our life in India.

International yoga day should be celebrated in India like a festival.Every Indian should get up early in the morning at 4am on 21June and after completing their routine activities all must practice YOGA at their Home/Near by parks etc.

.Yoga and meditation integrate the body and soul and produce better performers in every walk of life.Hence non religious non ritualistic programmes EASY TO IMPLEMENT should be drawn up and marketed in every office,school and Govt Dept.CVD's should also be given out(especially to Govt employees) as to how to proceed with simple exercises which allow one to perform well in office,Govt school & sports field.The RELEVANCE to daily life is paramount.

Thanks a lot to mark 21st June as a Yoga Day. Since ancient times we are spreading the importance of Yoga. As a member of Laughter Yoga since last more than 5 years, I have below ideas:- 1. Including Laughter Yoga in UN Forum to celebrate the Day. 2. Our Nav Chaitanya Hasya Yog Pariwar founded by Shri. Vitthal Kate Sir in Pune has more than 150 branches & are at free of cost. 3. We all are collectively working to spread this Laughter Yoga acitvity through schools, IT companies, etc

i started doing yoga at the age of 14 yrs,today i m 47,my facial skin is so soft& glows like i m 16 yr young.and i personally feel, yog kriya's should start at nursery level in school,it should be taken as a life style subject not a forced application.china took sports seriously started training at primary school level, today they dominate world sports,lets start with our own YOG,in health we can rule with this GOLD WEAPON.

The Yoga Day at UN forum- an opportunity to highlight our roots and inner strength one develops through practice of proper and authentic Yoga as laid down by our Vedic seers. 1. True essence of Yoga needs to be spread. Yog is not about doing difficult poses or standing one's head. 2. Asan form just 1/8th of Yog and so is the case of Pranayama. 3. Importance of Guru and demonstration of the power and inner strength one develops by connection to the Guru. Good looks, values, r by products

Pl consider doing away with select form of farm subsidies which are not actually reaching farmers hand. instead giving subsidies for production of agricultural commodities . our government can think of passing on all the benefits to consumers. Even producers will come under the consumers list once they are understood all the nicities involved. As a consumer the benifit even though limited , as a producer his share of subsidies are taken away by vested interests, actually denied

The best way of celebrating yoga day can be none other but doing yoga and spreading information about the usefulness of yoga. I have two specific suggestions.... 1) Appeal to the people all over the world to "Start Doing Yoga At Least 15 Minutes A Day" everyday. 2) Appeal to the people to Share Their Personal Experiences of Benefiting From Yoga.
