Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday shared an important message ahead of the 10th International Day of Yoga. In a series of posts on social media platform X, PM Modi said yoga was important both at the individual and at the global level.
"In 10 days from now, the world will mark the 10th International Day of Yoga, celebrating a timeless practice that celebrates oneness and harmony. Yoga has transcended cultural and geographical boundaries, uniting millions across the globe in the pursuit of holistic well-being," the post read.
He further said, "As we approach this year's Yoga Day, it is essential to reiterate our commitment to making Yoga an integral part of our lives and also encouraging others to make it a part of theirs. Yoga offers a sanctuary of calm, enabling us to navigate life's challenges with calm and fortitude."
In the third post, the PM shared asanas that people could include in their daily practice.
"As Yoga Day approaches, I am sharing a set of videos that will offer guidance on various Asanas and their benefits. I hope this inspires you all to practice Yoga regularly."
Following PM Modi's appeal on December 11, 2014, the United Nations General Assembly announced June 21 as the International Day of Yoga. This day is celebrated to spread awareness about the ancient Indian practice of yoga and its benefits.
'Yoga' is a Sanskrit term that means to unite or join. In this context, it refers to the union of the body and consciousness. Today, yoga in different forms has gained popularity worldwide.
