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.

A whole week around June 26th should be used to spread yoga in Yog Shivirs across the country. Central & State Government offices should take up the job of popularizing yoga and can be awarded based on their achievements. A daily yoga practice of 15-20 min should be made compulsory in all schools and offices. After all, a healthy mind stays in healthy body, so the precious 15-20 min spent on yoga each day will enhance the productivity and efficiency of Indians.

Yoga was born in India so India should proudly be the leader in this in the world. Some suggestions are: - Create a Department of Yoga education and research - Train and certify thousands of Yoga teachers - Yoga should be taught to children in school and should be practised - There should be a Yoga centre in every neighbour hood - There should be Yoga Academy everywhere - All literature and research in Yoga should be documented and freely available to citizens ... more
