“Yoga
embodies unity of mind
and body; thought and action;
restraint and fulfilment; harmony
between man and nature; a
holistic approach to health and
well-being.”
Honourable Prime Minister of India Shri Narendra Modi’s tweets for Yoga
on December 11, 2014: (Source Twitter: @narendramodi)
“Yoga has the power to bring the entire humankind together! It beautifully combines
Gyan (knowledge), Karm (work) and Bhakti (devotion).”
“Countless people across the world made Yoga an integral part of their lives. Congrats
to them! This will inspire many more people towards Yoga.”
“I profusely thank all 177 nations across the world who co-sponsored the resolution to
declare 21st June as ‘International Day of Yoga’.”
“Elated! Have no words to describe my joy on the @UN declaring 21st June as
‘International Day of Yoga’. I fully welcome the decision.”
It is such an awesome initiative and an advent on a tradition that emerged from India
and now caring and bending everybody with its benefiting gestures across the world.
