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.

What was Yog, has come back to us as yoga. There are little variations in the Yoga practices from different schools. Basically, it is a practical science and the description of experiences by various gurus do vary. But, one thing is common. All recite the Omkaar and all follow the Astang as propounded by maharshi Patanjali. The experience of Kabir, Dariya Saheb, Guru Nanak,The Nath Yogis,and the Gyandev are all unique in their own right.What Shiva practised at Kailash and what Sri Krishna said i

Talking from a business perspective, though on a non-profit term, it always helps when you think of it from a business angle. So, now that you have identified the target audience which is entire India, market by doing the FAB analysis. This FAB remains unique for everyone. For example, children may have a different benefit, a retired person may have a different benefit and so on. Anything that has to be promoted has to reach the target audience in the right way as per me.

First and foremost,please include ancient Indian classical systems of yoga manuscripts as the invaluable cultural heritage of India in the Ministry of Culture,Government of India. To uphold yoga in its holistic sense, from ancient manuscripts point of view,please do not treat yogasana/yoga as sports and do not conduct competition in yogasana/yoga, as it is violation of ancient Indian classical systems of yoga manuscripts and Statutory body NCTE approved Yoga Education teaching principles Raja

Yoga is an Excellent exercise. Each and Every Indian should be proud as yoga originates from India. On this occasion all Schools, Colleges and Central Govt. Offices should be involved with the yoga activities by Yoga Experts. This is the only respect country can give to these Experts.

Make Yoga a compulsory session in all the schools across India. Benefits of Yoga tfo be advertized and marketed in a huge scale. Taking a cue from World Earth Day celebrations, every one in India should perform 'Surya Namaskar' or 'Pranayam' on 21 June every year at a particular time so that the resonance of the Yoga could be felt all over the world.
