International Yoga Day – let’s Celebrate India’s Gift To The World!
It was not until 2015 that something like a Yoga day was ever heard of. However, thanks to the current Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a wave of celebrating the day has begun which has been growing strong year after year. Last year millions of people from all over the world participated and celebrated the day with full enthusiasm. And, as we start nearing the day, the preparations have already begun.
International Yoga Day
While giving a speech in the UNGA in the year 2014, Narendra Modi expressed his opinion on why the world must celebrate yoga. In his words, “Yoga is an invaluable gift of India’s ancient tradition. It embodies unity of mind and body; thought and action; restraint and fulfillment; harmony between man and nature; a holistic approach to health and well-being. It is not about exercise but to discover the sense of oneness with yourself, the world and the nature. By changing our lifestyle and creating consciousness, it can help in wellbeing. Let us work towards adopting an International Yoga Day.”
Following the proposal, 21st June was declared as the International Day of Yoga.
