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.

21st June will be a holiday in schools & colleges, so it will be difficult to celebrate yoga in schools & colleges. In India, it should be celebrated as a one to two hour function in Delhi as well as the state capital on the lines of Independence Day. It would be great if the political leadership at both centre & state themselves do Yoga at these functions. The function should include Yoga demonstration by children, speeches by yoga gurus, promotion of healthy lifestyle etc.

The Govt. must launch a monthly international magazine on yoga on 21st June. Yoga magazine is a good way to attract new people to yoga & also for updating yoga practitioner's knowledge on a regular basis. Yoga magazines are common in western countries & have played a significant role in increasing yoga's popularity. For this initiative, the Govt. should tie up with a leading media publishing house. Probable names for magazine- Yoga Times, Yoga Life, Yoga:harmony & peace, Our Yoga, 21st June Yoga

The yoga guru baba ramdev should be appointed as brand embassador of our country. The NGO's of Baba ramdev and other NGO should be given responsibility and encourage to play key role at grams, city, taluka at grass root level. Only simple 3 to 5 yoga to be specified for practice to people. The main goal to promote yoga is to make all the people healthy and wealthy. Opposition and critics by political person will be done in all the good or liked or disliked work should be ignore.

I am very happy to say that celebrating International Day of Yoga makes an awareness to the people who have not any knowledge or idea about Yoga.I want to say that, in so many countries Yoga is prohibited,like Malaysia.But I am proud to say that, India was being a born home to Yoga.So, all the Indians be proud about this.
