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.

(1) The 'International Yoga Day' can be celebrated at the UN forum by having a seminar on Yoga in which the history, evolution, significance and various health benefits can be explained to the world leaders followed by a brief demonstration by the Yoga experts. The enthusiastic participants may even be encouraged to try out feasible yogasanas.

Adults are aware of the benefits of yoga but the scenario in metropolitan cities, obesity in teenagers is growing at an alarming rate. for every improvement we depend on govt. Why can't parents teach their children benefits of yoga. It is every adult of india to make the younger generation aware on the benefits of yoga and meditation.Any habit if a child starts at young age he will definitely follow throughout his life .
