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.

"Mahila Yoga mission" type of mission may be initiated since an educated female is a source of motivation in a family. If a mother or female head of a family is oriented we are actually targeting a whole family. Thus School level education, Employer level orientation and women level motivation will be enough to transform the society not only in the health aspect but also to decrease cruelty in the form of domestic violence, to reduce divorces, to develop our society by early education of kids.

Put the LEDs across the country at public grounds with web enabled CCTV cameras to be accessed at PMO. Beam the launching programme of the Prime Minister through LEDs ( if possible with a facility of Audio and Visual) to make it a successful programme to move towards "SWASTA BHARATH" in line with SWACH BHARATH". It should be a mass movement through out. The Yoga Gurus like Bhaba Ramdev and Sri Sri Ravishankar, Sri Siddeswar Swamy of Bijapur, Dr.Shivkumar Swamiji be made Brand Ambassadors.

Second, Govt departments should become a part of this event, where employees can be trained and June 21st, being a sunday, employees should be encouraged to participate. Third, the private sector can also be a part of this initiative as well. As at present, we have some enthusiastic people who teach some elementary form of Hatha Yoga in most parks in Delhi and other cities. The Govt can tap this resource to train these people so they can get their community followers to also participate.

To develop an APP for very simple DO IT YOURSELF Yoga positions. It should be in all major languages of the world. It should be released on World Yoga Day. This APP should then be updated regularly. We need to spread what is Yoga to the world.

It must be clarified yoga is of two types. Physical/ Hatha yoga, and Spiritual yoga. Hatha yoga is meant to make body fit for spiritual yoga. Spiritual yoga as given in Bhagwad Gita comprises of Karma/ Jnana/ Bhakti/ Raja. Hatha yoga or yoga of asanas can be taught by Hatha yoga instructors, but for spiritual yoga one needs an enlightened teacher/ spiritual guru. Spiritual yoga leads to experience of total fulfillment in life. Hatha yoga is for physical&mentaL fitness.
