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.

Sir congratulations. There are many similar Indian forms like yoga and art forms which require recognition so that it does not perish. Most shocking fact is that our Indian forms are more known in other countries than by us. A country and its citizens prosper only if they know their roots and cherish their culture. More initiatives should be taken to promote these, especially the lesser known local art and cultural forms.

This is a good initiative by the govt of India. I would request the govt also to take similar steps to promote many arts that were in Olden India but now they are rarely seen. Art like Silambattam, Kalari can be promoted so that they are not forgotten.

Celebration of 1st international yog day is highly historical for India and all world. Its credit go to P.M. Modi ji ,baba Ramdevji some known and unknown persons. It is good time to spread it more and more in the world for welfare of the people. Result of yog is excellent soul and mind,healthy body and constructive thinking of the people.

Sir, After the huge success of the very first International Yoga Day, Yoga has been introduced as a mandatory subject in all government run schools which is indeed a very good step. But I would like to suggest that Yoga be introduced under all private schools also under the school curriculum of CBSE and ICSE atleast upto class 10th and if possible even upto class 12th.
