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.

Sir, if new age technique can be used, how about co-ordinated flash mobs of trained volunteers who perform the complete set of asanas in Surya Namaskar in various prominent places, Central Park, Times square, Grand Central, Hyde Park, Champs Elysee, Brandenberg Gate, Shanghai, Tokyo river front & Jo'burg. It will definitely arouse instant attention. Given the new varieties of yoga, would it not be suitable to formulate &offer recognised courses in traditional yoga based on Patanjali Yogashastra

Meditation n yoga should be mandatory.through meditation all problems of the country can be solved.Each and every individual should be taught to meditate.Meditation should be made a part of syllabus for all students frm an early age..A healthy mind leads to healthy people and in turn healthy society.If children are taught only one thing from an early age thats of utmost usefullnes..That is meditation..Yoga and meditation has the power to change lives n to create a better world.

'Yoga' is the Art of Living. Its power has now started conquering the whole world. Here in USA, I could see how people consider 'Yoga' as the elixir of life, even in schools. One of the best ways to portray the importance of yoga is by showing the videos of different ways the world is celebrating 'Yoga'.Another important aspect would be to include in the school curriculum, thereby providing opportunities to 'Yoga' professionals and a healthy living for the future generation of Indians.

Many government assets & organization are sale through disinvestment. Because they are in loss ...etc.... Why any business unit are in loss ... If private management can give profit Just like IPCL .....If petrochemical company sale through government. The MD or any politician who had take responsibility to handle IPCL has made mismanagement or can not prevent ........But as a result reliance got a huge profitable unit of Indian public through government ....with government value.?

OM chanting by 1000 people for 100 times with precision. This is Akshara Brahma Yoga!! Using THE WORD to be in UNION [Yoga means union] with existence. I would suggest the participants learn chanting from absolute Gurus [my suggestion from Sadhguru]
