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 not an invented or new posture of body (Kalabaji) which is being exercised now a day but that's a practice to have calm full state of mind and body both. That's why it should be "EVERY DAY OF YOGA" not the International Day of Yoga.

With yoga one can conquer all the extreme diseases. Yoga must be made mandatory in all schools and colleges. A strong advertisements must published in all newspapers and TV channels promoting benefits of YOGA. People must know that YOGA has evolved in Great India and very much beneficial for our body and mind. Every citizen must perform YOGA daily morning for atleast 15-20 minutes in morning, this should be taught to every person.

Thanks PM Modi for providing YOGA a recognition at international level. I think Yoga instructors form all over India should be connected by a common portal so that they can actively participate in the celebration of International Yoga Day 2015.
