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 has the distinct potential of binding & bonding together the international community in a mode & manner that, perhaps, no other single factor can. And, the obsevance of the International Day of Yoga will perform the unique feat of enabling and encouraging the participating countries to close ranks on the task of catering to the common cause of bringing health and happiness to the humanity WITH MALICE TOWARDS NON. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT COULD NOT BE ACCOMPLISHED EARLIER.

An inspiring yoga story: My yoga teacher at Shiva Yoga Kendra , Chennai is a young (33 Yrs) Nepali man from Darjeeling, called Narendra. His story is remarkable! He came to South India in 1997, with just a school pass and began work as a domestic help. Determined to change his life he learnt Yoga, took a teachers training course and today teaches Yoga Kendra impacting lives of many like me positively. From a domestic help to a yoga teacher by sheer hard work is truly inspirational.

The Hon'ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi definitely struck the right note at the United Nations last year when he took up YOGA as an international theme. THE ALMOST SPONTANEOUSE RESPONSE FROM OVERWHELMING NUMBER OF COUNTRIES SHOWS THAT THE MESSAGE OF OUR PM HAS BEEN TAKEN IN THE RIGHT EARNEST. THE OBSERVANCE OF THE INTERNATIONAL DAY OF YOGA ON 21ST JUNE BY SO LARGE A NUMBER OF COUNTRIES THE WORLD OVER, SHALL EXHIBIT IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS THAT THERE CAN BE ONE COMMON CAUSE.
