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.

It should be explained to the beginners that Yoga is an art to attain peace of mind and health by feeling relaxed. There should be set of Yoga, including Surya Namaskar , for daily fitness routine. And then there should be Yoga to bring about cure for specific ailments. Breathing exercises should be suitably included in the Yoga Package. Best Regards, venjusa

YOGA is common for all Reliegion.On International Day of Yoga,competitions can be held in schools and colleges.People should be made aware that practice of different yoga postures in daily life would cure all diseases.Thus,people can avoid going to Doctors. 18 SIDDHARS are real examples for the humans.Everybody should learn their life history.THERAIYAR is the example of DOCTOR. THIRUMOOLAR taught Pranayama.PATHANJALI also taught YOGA. Lastly, the adventures of BKS IYENGER should also be taught.

1.At the UN Forum , people should about the Origin of Yoga in India. How the ancient sages and Rishi's invented Yogic Assanas by observing and imitating animals. 2.People should be told about the benefits of Yoga such as treatment of various ailments without intake of medicines and even deadly diseases such as Cancer can be cured by Yoga. It is the union of body with mind and both are in harmony with each other when a person performs Yoga. 3. People should perform yoga for one hour on Int. Day

since yoga was born in India so yoga should be listed in national games list as main games, and national and international players of yoga must get benefit in govt. jobs as bonus marks like athletics player, so people will start it doing and parents and children will see it as health + career, so people will start yoga own their own, and show their interest not only on 21 june but also through out the year. jai hind jai bharat

Many schools may not have enough space to teach YOGA. But they can teach PRANAYAMA definitely. Schools which have enough space should be asked to introduce YOGA mandatory. No new schools should be given permission to build, operate and transfer unless they teach YOGA and PRANAYAMA. Both these shall have a direct impact on the students and in turn to the country. Since, I have been practicing these even at the gae of 67 yrs. so this opinion.
