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.

India's working population is under extreme stress... Request to PM to call all public & private sector firms to include yoga sessions in their family-work life balance initiatives... Also school and colleges also inculcate into students mind yoga as part of life..!

Teach Basic steps of meditation in villages and across, not as a matter of philosophical seminar but practical steps like watching breath etc. Would be more than glad to volunteer.

Have each and every corporation in the city organise a massive SuryaNamaskar.. It should be a world record to have a simultaneous SuryaNamaskaras done by millions of people across India.. Something like how CleN India initiative was done.. The SuryaNamaskaras should be led by our one and only Shri. Narendra Modiji.

In urban cities, there are lot of migrant labours leaving their families behind. They do not have socialising common platforms .Will be good to have yoga centres meeting such needs.

Start a Yoga social networking site, one where people can discuss their problems and solutions through yoga. This can actually be launched on the first International Day of Yoga as a gift of ancient knowledge to the developed world. There should be a yoga knowledge repository that can be a combined effort of all the yogis and gurus, in which people can take a literal dip for quenching the thirst of knowledge. Apps shouldn't be forgotten.

The main aim has to be to get people practise yoga, as the benefits of yoga can be understood only on practising. So right from day one, impetus must be given on teaching yoga, even if it means including them as a part of the school syllabus. In fact, if possible dedicate one hour in the morning as yoga hour so that people of the world get into the habit of practising yoga on a daily basis. In fact a particular hour could be called as a daily yoga hour.If people are made to practise yoga, great!

Prime institutions of YOGA, such as patanjali, art of living and others must collaborate and expand there networks to engage more and more people for a more relevant aspect which is translation. Clinical translation, social transformation, physical well being are the necessity of the time.

The ultimate goal of practising yoga is to get closer to divinity, by transcending religion and considering each human being as a brother or a sister. This being the main aim of yoga and as the country which gave birth to Yoga, the inauguration of international yoga day must be done with a noble intention of bringing humanity together. In order to effectively pass on the benefits of yoga to the whole of humanity. Train 100 persons from a country for 1 year and increase them year after year.
