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.

Today life is stressful everywhere in office in hospital in public place and even in house people sitting on TV. The advantage of YOGA to release the stress and to remain a fresh every time should be explained in news channels and and other channels through advertisements. Also YOGA videos must be available free of cost on internet. Yoga must be related with the deseases as is written by Patanjali. Tea breaks in the office may be used for Yoga. In my school we used to do PT after prayer daily.

Add Yoga in school curriculum from 5th standard onward. All Pt masters should be trained Yoga and special Yoga week should be organised in all schools. it will give chance to students to know about yoga and practice it at home...even Teachers should trained through special capacity building activities...it will help them to build stronger mind and body. once they knew the benefits they will disseminate the message to students and at least next generation will feel proud of our culture
