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 stressed that Yoga means - CONNECTING. The ultimate objective of Yoga to connect Mind , Body , Intellect and Soul ( Atma ) so that life becomes full of bliss.

It is interesting to know that as per science our brain is clearly divided in 16 sectors and this coincides with what we know that Lord Krishna was 16 Kala Samporna. Does’nt it means that His brain was working 100%. We can also do using science and yoga

Yoga is flow of air ( oxygen) through nose hitting front inner part of our brain leading to activation of neural activities, there by making our brain works more and more. More oxygen in brain means more neural activities and hence u r more intelligent then before. 97% of our brain remains dead. Even Eisntein had only 3.5% working brain and he discovered E=MC2 and theory of relativity. Lord Krishna and others have proved that whole brain can be activated by doing Yoga.cont..........

We need to do carry out research on this age old technique, as the west believes in published data. I am a allopathic doctor (diabetologist) by profession and i have seen the immediate and long term benefits of Yoga (pranayama, asana and dhyana) on the body in terms of releiving stress/ anxiety/ depression, lowering blood sugars, BP, lipids, obesity and promoting increased energy levels. I am willing to undertake research and conduct few studies on yoga and get it published, want Gov support.
