Describing yoga day as a ‘global festival’, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said yogic energy is giving direction to global health.
“Yogic energy, which has been nurtured for centuries by spiritual centres of India like Mysuru, is today giving direction to global health,” Mr Modi said while addressing a gathering on the occasion of 8 th International Day of Yoga at Mysuru on June 21.
An estimated 15,000 people had gathered for the mass yoga event at the iconic Mysuru palace early in the morning. Governor of Karnataka Thaawar Chand Gehlot, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai and Union Minister for Ayush Sarbananda Sonowal were among the participants.
Mr. Modi said yoga is becoming a basis for ‘global co-operation’ while also providing belief of a healthy life to mankind. “The practices of yoga are giving wonderful inspiration for health, balance and co-operation. When we start living yoga, Yoga Day becomes a medium to celebrate our health, happiness and peace,” he said.
Yoga, Mr. Modi said, had ‘now come out of households and had spread all over the world’, which was a ‘picture of spiritual realisation, and that of natural and shared human consciousness, especially in the last two years of unprecedented pandemic’.
He said yoga was not for any individual, but for the entire humanity. Hence, this year’s theme is Yoga for Humanity to portray how yoga served humanity in alleviating suffering during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Quoting Indian sages, Mr. Modi said yoga brings peace. “The peace from yoga is not merely for individuals. Yoga brings peace to our society. Yoga brings peace to our nations, and the world. Yoga brings peace to our universe.
