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.

Nice Initiative it needs to be encouraged all across country to make people aware a blog needs to be created where people can share their views, comments/suggestions , Yoga is an important element for mind relaxation, needed for focus .More focus is needed in schools, colleges, even parents needs to be encouraged so that in turn they can encourage their kids.

On 26-4-15 in his speech Maan Ki baat Respected PM Mr Narendra Damodardas Modi emphasized on MAYLA MATHE PE DHONA (carrying dirt on head). The phrase was headline in each and every NEWS of the day. Is He really concern about this and made provisions of reservation in LOK SABHA, RAJYA SABHA, STATE VIDHAN SABHA, MILITARY etc etc etc ...... Such reservations are in place in other aspects of life. Respected PM Mr NARENDRA DAMODARDAS MODI SIR do you have explanation or just a speech.

Yoga is a very old tradition innovative by our Rishi Patanjali, other Sants & Bhramchaaries. But unfortunately due to long ruling by the Muslims, British, v deprived our values & traditions & moulded towards their traditions forcibly. Yoga is not a assets of particular any present Guru. No doubt Baba Ramdev encouraging us & credit goes to him. I must say that yoga must be introduced & included in the daily life of every individual & legal identification should be given through Constitution

All schools should be advised to make students do Surya Namaskar in mornings . It can just be an advisory not an order , just to avoid any controversy

Sir,it would be wonderful to see a modern well explained version of Patanjali's yogashastra, with step wise explanations, health benefits, both in hard cover and DVD format, that can be released on #InternationalDayofYoga2015. The release can coincide with a demonstration that can be arranged in Central Park / MSG, New York by well known celebrities who are trained in yogasanas. Many sports people & artistes who are proficient across the world can be roped in for this mass contact program.
