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.

Sir, Congratulations and many thanks for doing the Nation proud on account of International yoga day. While this has been accepted world over some people and some media sections are sour. Sir I feel the party and Govt need effective spokespersons to counter the misunderstanding and communicate better. I think the most effective comminicstors for yoga will ne Ramdevji, Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev and Sri Ravi Sankar.

I wish all citizens a very Healthy & Happy Yoga Day. In my opinion, yoga should be taught from school life itself, and in between practicing yoga, some shlokas and Gayatri mantras should be taught. Everyday there should be a yoga period in each and every school, before classes start. Because yoga gives strength, energy and concentration and relaxation.

Mr Modi, Thanks for leading the efforts of "Yoga" today on the occasion of World Yoga Day. We were bit curious on your stand, if you will participate or simply direct with wishes? But we're glad to see you in the Yoga campaign today. We will definitely lead these efforts to improve our life style. Thanks again.

For decades now, YOGA, the ancient Indian Mantra for health, vigour and vitality, has got confined to a few privileged ones, the virtues of it having been lost on the ordinary citizens, thanks to the attutude of the authorities that be in taking no steps to awaken their cam-patriots to wonders what YOGA can introduce in their loves. NOW, NOT ONLY THE COM-PATRIOTS BUT PEPOPLE BEYOND OUR SHORES OWE GRATITUDE TO HIM FOR LEADING THEM TO THE 'YOGA PATH'. REALLY, A 'YUG PURUSH' ON 'YOGA PATH'.

The Hon'ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi while addressing the gathering at the Raj Path (converted into 'YOGA PATH', literally,) has very rightly said that YOGA is not merely an exercise session, Beyond that YOGA has the potential to INTERNATIONALLY BRING THE NATIONS CLOSER WHICH WOULD, IN TURN, BRING PEACE & HARMONY AMONG THEM. NOT THAT IT WOULD COME ABOUT INSTANTLY, BUT 'YOGA PATH' WOULD DEFINITELY LEAD TO 'SHANTI PATH'. STRIFE WOULD GIVE 'PATH' TO SANITY. SALUTE TO YOGA!!

I am a yoga teacher studied from MDNIY, new Delhi and now teaching here in Dubai. I am so proud today to call myself an Indian only because of you. I am given respect and looked up to because my PM supports, appreciates and encourages what I do. Everyone is wishing me happy Yoga day. They are wishing my husband too because his wife is a yog teacher, i can't express in words the gratitude I felt towards you today. For many of us you are Dronacharya and we are Eklavya.
