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.

There should be mandatory Yoga classes in every school for one hour a week. This would help kids understand what Yoga is, which would in-turn help parents also develop interests towards Yoga. I learn rhymes to teach my daughter, why would I not learn Yoga when my daughter does it.

We are the land where Yoga is having lot of importance and in a way its embedded in our life style in things like poja vidhi but we are fast losing such lifestyle, so to bring back and educate youth visual medium would help best I am attaching few links, if Govt can make similar videos and make channels to chose at least one and make them broadcast once in a day would help spreading this invaluable knowledge. http://vimeo.com/98544148 http://vimeo.com/115838595 http://vimeo.com/103528674

We as Indians have lost touch with the ancient heritage of Yoga and Spirituality. For many Yoga is just a form of physical exercise. I would humbly suggest building an ad campaign communicating what Yoga truly means, what it has meant to us. How in Gurukuls it was a part of our education - we need youth who are not only well educated but also know how to balance their emotions and respect their heritage. We may also broadcast the message on yoga of the enlightened masters of the past and today.

On the World Yoga day, India can plan for a World YOGA competition across all countries and the winner should get medals (Gold,Silver,Bronze ). This way more people will participate in YOGA and it will be a fun based event hosted by INDIA.
