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.

I fully agree with our PM Shri. Narendra Modi in his faith in Yoga which encompasses physical, mental & spiritual aspect of well-being. If Yoga has to reach the masses, it should start at simple but very effective steps like Suryanamaskar and chanting of Om. However, it should be particularly emphasized that YOGA IS NOT OWNED BY ANY PARTICULAR RELIGION, YOGA DOESN'T ADVOCATE ANY PARTICULAR RELIGION, YOGA CAN BE PRACTISED BY ENTIRE HUMANKIND WITH EQUAL BENEFITS TO ALL.

हम जब बचपन में स्कूल में थे तो हमे योगा सिखाया जाता है पार अब वह नही सिखाया जाता है अगर शिक्षा के साथ योगा हो तो बच्चे तंदरुस्त हो सकते है और महत्व जान सकते है आशा है कि भारत सबसे सशक्त देश हो

Real purpose of Yoga is 2 connect 2 God,it isn't just some physical exercise to maintain d body. International Day of Yoga can b celebrated by propogating d real purpose of Yoga which is related 2 soul not with d body. 2day people do yoga 2 make body healthy & doesn't care about d spiritual part of it. Physical benefits of it r just d by-product which will remain only till d time body remains i.e till death,but d spiritual part of it is related 2 d soul which will remain even after death.

In every school and colleges various activities like quiz, debate, essay writing competition, seminars and guedt lecture by eminent yogis on importance of yoga should be done. A rally may also be organised by school children in rural areas to tell the importance of yoga to villagers. A slogan competition should be organised .Audio visual aids like radio, tv etc may also advertise for the utility of yoga.

India is cradle for yoga.But most of indians don't know much about practices of yoga. Of course, it is pride for all of us to celebrate IDY. But it's high time, we must start campaign in INDIA to create awareness among people
