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.

Man Ki Baat.. Pradhan Sewak Ji... from the heart it emerges to have a RAVIYOG - every ravivaar be denoted to yog with AYUSH mantralaya organising yog shala in all open parks to encourage, teach and carry out yoga sessions free for all. In order to make people feel what is yoga, free for all will instigate everyone to go for a try. Like all FMCG companies distribute free samples of new products, likewise free yoga sessions be organised to make feel the power of yoga. Dhanayawaad.

और अंततः इसके द्वारा आपके आत्मविश्वास, चरित्र तथा राष्ट्रीयता की भावना में वृद्धि होगी ऐसा मेरा मानना है। स्वामी विवेकानंद जी यही तो चाहते थे। उन्होने देश की तात्कालिक परिश्थितियाँ देखी थी और मूल समस्याओं को समझते हुये चरित्र निर्माण, राष्ट्र भावना और स्वयम् पर विश्वास करने पर बल दिया था। हमारा मानना है की प्राणायाम/योग इस दिशा में महत्वपूर्ण योगदान देगा। आप शुरुआत कीजिये तो सही और भरोसा रखिये कि ये देश जरूर बदलेगा।

अंतर्राष्ट्रीय योग दिवस पर यह बताना भी निहायत जरूरी है कि आप सभी के लिये यह प्राणायाम तनावमुक्त रखने का साधन बनेगा चाहे वह तनाव कार्य स्थान का हो या व्यक्तिगत। और जब आप तनावमुक्त रहेंगे तो स्वतः ही कार्य में पूर्ण ध्यान लगा पायेंगे। फायदा यह होगा कि आपकी उत्पादकता स्वतः ही बढ़ जायेगी जो आपके ही देश को आगे ले जाने के काम आयेगी। रोज ऑफीस में ५ मिनट का प्राणायाम आप सभी में कार्य हेतु एक नयी ऊर्जा का संचार करेगा

अंतर्राष्ट्रीय योग दिवस को सार्थक रूप से मनाने के लिये यह अत्यावश्यक है कि वह सरल रूप में जनमानस तक पहुचाया जाये. इसके लिये यदि उस दिन से सुबह ९:३० बजे का समय नियत करके ९:३५ तक का समय ५ मिनिट प्राणायाम को हर दिन दिया जाये। इसे सभी सरकारी विभागो तथा स्कूलो के लिये अनिवार्य कर दिया जाये कि हर दिन ५ मिनट तो प्राणायाम करना ही करना है। प्राइवेट संस्थाओं को यह लागू करने के लिये उत्साहित किया जाये।

Yoga implies spirituality. N if we are intent on preserving humanity , we will have to motivate ourselves n our fellows to move from being religious to spiritual. N Yoga shows the pathway to union with the blissful state of existence. The Indian diaspora could play a leading role in ensuring that they use their goodwill n garner support to highlight the positive n beneficial aspects of their mother culture. Organising of yoga camps and lectures n seminars on yoga, spirituality n humanism.

One of the easiest and most followed aspects of yoga is the surya namaskar... Organize a session on surya namaskar and the many benefits of it.it is easy to implement and adopt... Also taking on the aspects of yoga which is positive and healthy lifestyle urge members to have one vegetarian meal a day ... At the UN have a vegetarian lunch served. Lunch need not be Indian but a western lunch menu to show countries that being vegetarian also has many options
