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.

International day of Yoga can be celebrated in many ways starting from discussion on Yoga(highlighting moral code) to demonstration of different asans,kriyas of yoga on UN forum, world stage as well as state & central level by involving reputed Yoga societies & National Ayush institutes as well media publicity. Another way to conscious common people of our country by decorated propaganda vehicle & by playing the recorded speech on Yoga in regional language

Appropos my note, can explain why back pains caused by abuse of backbone can be rid by doing Padma Asana regularly. Similarly Artha-Matsyendra Asana will stimulate digestive organs and rid of constipation, is a drag on our daily life. If done properly it will help discharge twice daily freely and the stools will be like rope indicating full digestion. A video presentation with anatomical images explaining in simple medical terms will help drive home the connection between organs and yoga asana

On the same lines of Marathons, worldwide mass Yoga Shivirs be conducted. Call them YOGATHONs!! There can be competitions too to exhibit one's expertise in Yoga. The top 3 exhibitors can be given awards/mementos. Free YOGATHON T-shirts with a YOGI on it as an emblem of the event should be distributed in all such events. This would serve as the best advertising worldwide.

1. Let all the Schools provide Yoga, Pranayama training to all the students (for 15-20 mins) before commencing the classes in morning during Prayers session.This will energize the student’s brain concentration power. 2. Let all the Education Technical Institutions must have Yoga, Meditation Hall in their campuses for re-energizing of its Students. 3. Let all the Govt and Private Companies possess Yoga Rooms to relive the stress of their employees. Google, Yahoo MNCs have Yoga,Meditation Halls

1. I assume that Yoga and Ayurved go hand in hand. 2. Many times we read reports of less development in adiivasi areas where the comparative developement is less for many reasons. 3.If we can built the ---Yoga/Ayurvedic Treatment Centres in these parts of the country it will make employment available through farming of Ayurvedic Plants/Collection of Ayurvedic Plants from the forests/Preparation of Ayurvedice medicine from centres like Rasshala-Arkshala/Yoga centres for the working class.
