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.

#InternationalDayofYoga: I am proud of the fact that 21 June is declared as the International Day of Yoga by UN following our Hon'ble PM's initiative. That day happens to be the longest day of the year. To celebrate it we can select a panel of experts in yoga who will conduct " Yoga Shibir " in important world capitals. They can also train the foreigners on various aspects of yoga for its eventual global spread. We can start yoga programme in schools/colleges, but enrolment should be voluntary.

विश्व गुरु : योग आज के समय में सबसे जरुरी जैविक क्रिया बन गया है। शरीर के साथ - साथ ये मन के लिए भी अमृत तुल्य है। वैचारिक शुद्धि का एक मात्र जरिया योग ही है और आज इसे पूरी दुनिया ने स्वीकार किया है। हमें भी अपनी इस पौराणिक सम्पति को पूरी तरह से आत्मसात कर लेना होगा , तभी हम एक बार फिर से विश्व गुरु का दर्जा हासिल कर सकेंगे। अश्विनी व्यास , बीकानेर (राजस्थान ) 8233112898 ,7726007859

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 ...being an ancient practice,represents our culture which is our India's pride! So this can be made popular among the youth who r our future pillars, and thus it(culture) can be spread out everywhere by them! In order to reach them v may concentrate in schools & colleges(as punishments),prison,offices(as regular schedule)&even occasional get together may have yoga as a topic & discus its outcomes & importance,which might bring in a change.Infact an oath can also b taken by all. Jai Hind!

Many people believe that Yoga means entangling your hand, head & legs. Its a difficult kinda of yoga. But people should be encoraged to do simple yoga in everyday life, which is know as Shukshma Yoga. The basic yoga of Breathing cures multiple deceases, and rejuvenates your day!!! Raj Mumbai

Yoga should be used as medium to impart penalties tot the students, culprits , offenders. School and colleges Jail and child rehabilitation centre Example, bunking a class will make a student to attend a compulsory yoga class, and bunking a yoga class will add more penalty. After this thrive for monetary penalty and link with the grades of the examination or degree of the college. Emulate this model in every school and college.
