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.

Students need to concentrate on studies and remember what they learn. Yoga helps them to learn good posture for meditation and focus their attention. Control of mind and control of senses lead to very good results in a student's life. So yoga should be an integral of their life. Let's spread yoga wherever possible.

We know yoga cures many disease and the stress of our daily life. So the practice of yoga should start at school as a part of physical training. This will also learn young practioner to use their skill to students. There should be separate teacher for boys and girls. Female yoga teacher/trainer can teach young girls how to defend themselves when anyone tries to molest them.

15.5.2015 Yoga will be more beneficial to common man, Pensioners and Senior Citizens. It should be easily available to all and not only to selected persons. It should be made compulsory for 7th to 11th classes. Nation will be healthy if we are healthy physically and mentally. Swami Ram Deo,who has introduced/ giving training free of cost, should be the overall independent in charge of YOGA, NOT under any Ministry. ISHWARI PRASAD ALLAHABAD

2]on this day yoga classes should be made compulsory in school s,collages and offices too. Some fun activities can be done to encourage the small and teen children so that they can understand some importance of yoga. Ayurveda is also the main thing of yoga it can be also teached by experts to the people.

1]Yoga is the most important part of our life.The 'the international day of yoga' should be celebrated in world. This day can be celebrated by calling the most well trained Yoga masters on the streets of every city of world some big and main street of the city should be closed on this day for some hours and the all people of the city can come learn some yoga and enjoy the yoga with family and friends. The publicity can be done by the T.V channels,social media,news paper,magazines etc.

(3) There are various ways in which we can mark the ‘International Day of Yoga’ across the length and breadth of India. We can have a multiplicity of publicity channels such as Internet (social media -facebook, twitter, instagram, youtube ), involvement of the celebrities (sports, glamour, literature, media), TV channels, newspapers and magazines. Contests can be organized to popularize it. The Yoga experts' lectures and demonstrations can be held across all the above publicity channels.
