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.

UN:Site the ancient example of Great Tapasvi/Yogis mentioned in ancient treatises like Veda,Shiva-Samhita,Puranas etc.Represent the gist of the prescription of Acharya Patanjali (Father of Yoga) (200 BCE). And compare these with modern science by highlighting the benefits of yoga with scientific proof like http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2014/02/140207-yoga-cancer-inflammation-stress/, http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-11-22/harvard-yoga-scientists-find-proof-of-meditation-benefit.html

Various ways many developed world countries are conducting experiments based on sanskrit hruchas... keeping it secrete... they can claim IP over it... all such research should be opened up & consolidated under one roof.... huge resistance would be faced during the process but it is the ultimate aim to bring back what this land has lost over a period of centuries for the seck of humanity ....

continuation of my previous page----if it is wrongly used by any one. In this country so many persons using the yogam wrongly by cheating the people. Those would be punished by the divine by pushed them to taken birth in lowest rung. Hence yoga must be used carefully.
