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.

19,20,21 जून को पूरे भारत में सभी शराब की दुकाने सबसे पहले बंद होनी चाहिए, जिससे किसी को पता चले की योग दिवस भी इस देश में मनाया जा रहा है । आज 95 प्रतिशत सामाज तो नशे में डुबा है। योग दिवस के दिन अगर हम शराब की दुकाने बंद करवाते हैं तो 1 दिन पहले तो आदमी पी कर सोयेगा तो दूसरे दिन उठ कर योग कैसे करेगा।

Treat yoga classes with utmost patience by implementing in college level . Half hour yoga classes for each teacher along with their students convey them yoga benifits . By practising yoga in colleges reduces the crime so it is interrelated with crime prevention.

Dear PM, Scientific research on yoga practices and effect on endocrine & nervous systems needs to be studied. I have come across many scientific papers all from western countries confirming the benefits of yoga, om chanting etc. The same benefits were indicated in Bhartiya Yoga Sansthan books that I got 40 years back. But there are no studies in India?

Yoga For The Health Of Body And Mind: Although most of the Upanishads deal with knowledge path (jnana marg), there are a number of Upanishads dealing with the yoga path! Unless one reads all these Upanishads, one cannot understand both the knowledge and yoga paths and their connection! As people will find it difficult to read and understand Upanishads, I have written a book "Brahma Vidya" giving all (both jnana and yoga) about Upanishads. For a copy, contact me at ramak_sg@yahoo.com

Respected Hon'ble PM Sir, kindly include YOGA as one of the subject from 5th Standard and both theory and practical classes may be conducted by the yoga teacher, by doing this our future generation will not have any health problem and yoga will become a regular practice for all the students. I also would like to suggest to start a SWAMI VIVEKANANDA YOGA UNIVERSITY to start with in DELHI, GUJARAT, VARANASI, BANGALORE, BHOPAL, HIMACHAL PRADESH AND JAMMU with yoga courses.

Our PM has always been giving innovative ideas and Yoga is the requirement of the hour since life is full of pressure and stress.Yoga can be spread at the UN forum and through it to all the nations which will help in spreading of peace.Peace can convert anti nationalist by developing patriotism and it will also reach all corners of our country.We all can do a bit in the best way we can and spread this message of Yoga for a better living. All the best to all and live a healthy life.
