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.

All parks and school grounds should be utilized for conducting mass yogathon either in form of suryanamaskar or a package of premium asanas in all parts of country. For this preparation should be made at least 15 days before.Being a working day this year, this activity should be limited to morning hours. And in schools debate or speech competition should be made with instant distribution of prizes may be with help of corporate houses or different yoga institutions.

In hospitals, old age homes yoga can be arranged with the help of school children who are into yoga. This can be done with the help of AYUSH Distt administration and NGOs. A large event at Nalanda or Other centre can be arranged which will be broadcasted live. Mann ki bat on yoga will certainly touch the people.:) Thanku.

Diaspora can engage the local groups and organisation to hold yoga sessions at various platforms. At embassies a display of yogic literature can be organised. 3) In each state..educational institutions can celebrate yoga day by holding competitions. Various icons in Yoga can be felicitated.

1) At UN Forum.. a discussion on how to inculcate yoga in different countries can be done. A conference for promoting yoga, meditation, values can also be held. This must focus on tackling terrorism which is the global problem. Alongwith conference, showcasing of various yoga form in the form of a celebration can be organised. This can be real or virtual. 2) At the world stage our diaspora and embassies in various countries can be engaged. Embassies can take the attire and theme of Yog.
