International Yoga Day is being observed on June 21 every year, after United Nations adopted India’s proposal in 2014. This year, the national event for International Yoga Day is being held at Dehradun’s Forest Research Institute where Prime Minister Narendra Modi is participating. Events are planned across the country, including Rajpath, where as many as 15,000 people are taking part in the mass yoga session headed by Union Minister Harsh Vardhan.
“The world has embraced Yoga and glimpses of this can be seen in the manner in which International Day of Yoga has been marked every year. Infact, Yoga Day has become one of the biggest mass movements in the quest for good health and well-being,” Mr. Modi says
“Yoga is beautiful because it is ancient yet modern, it is constant yet evolving. It has the best of our past and presents and a ray of hope for our future. In Yoga, we have the perfect solution to the problems we face, either as individuals or in our society,” Mr. Modi says.
“The way to lead a calm, creative & content life is Yoga. It can show the way in defeating tensions and mindless anxiety. Instead of dividing, Yoga unites. Instead of further animosity, Yoga assimilates. Instead of increasing suffering, Yoga heals,” he adds.
