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.

yoga is an ancient hindu technique of enhancing the power of mind, body and soul. Making yoga a part of life as a daily routine would simply create wonders in any ones life may it be material or spiritual, basically yoga is ment to prepare for meditation, so the international yoga day should also include meditation as a part.

As much I observe we are focusing only on ashana and pranayamas but yoga is a way of life we should focus on all eight parts at least honorable PM should address about this then all communal violence can be controlled by this because the first part of yoga yama is all about truth and morality which is common in every religion niyam is about physical purity which is also common in every religion asana and pranayamas are physical and mental exercises. And next four are also about self-control

Those who want to create "Nautanki" will always create nautanki on Good DHorana like Yoga and other initiatives. Lets ignore them and move ahead. Suryanmaskar is and always be driving force as far as excersize is concerned.

Surya Namskar is only the name of an yoga and in this yoga nothing is exactly vandana of Surya.This yoga can be without the particular name.Then therewill be no problem by other than hindu people.
