Yoga: A journey of the self, through the self, to the self! Happy International Yoga Day
Since 2015, International Yoga Day has been celebrated annually all over the world on June 21 with an aim to bring about awareness about the health benefits of yoga and its various practices. Its aim is also to educate people about the physical, mental and spiritual benefits one can derive from practicing it. PM Modi had proposed the date June 21 as it is the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere and shares a special importance in many parts of the world. On September 27, 2014, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during his speech at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), made a proposal for an International Yoga Day to be held on June 21. In his speech, PM Modi stated that Yoga 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. Following the proposal, the UNGA held informal consultations on the draft resolution and came to an agreement.
The Yoga Day celebrations in 2015 at Rajpath in New Delhi, with Modi and other dignitaries in attendance, had created two Guinness World Records, performing around 21 yoga asanas. The first record was set for housing 35,985 people and being the world’s largest yoga session. The second was for having the most number (84) of nationalities participating in it.
