On June 21, the first International Yoga Day will be observed in 191 countries of diverse religious faith and political ideology under the auspices of the United Nations .
Yoga, an ancient science, dates back to more than 5,000 years ago, long before the birth of religions. Yoga is derived from the Sanskrit word YOG which means "to join " or " to unite ". Yoga is a spiritual discipline,which may not be confused with religion and a subtle science. Yoga brings about harmony between mind and body, between man and nature. Yoga is a holistic science of human well-being : Yoga prevents disorders of mind and body.
Yoga promotes and maintains health &
Yoga helps manage physical and mental disorders.
At the philosophical level, the practice of Yoga leads to the union of individual consciousness with the universal consciousness indicating harmony between humans and nature.
The great sage Maharishi Patanjali systematised and codified the then existing yoga practices which are known as Pathanjali's Yoga Sutras. The effectiveness of Yoga sadhanas or practices is well established even by critical modern researchers..It is a very cheap and easily accessible form of alternative medicine with no side-effects.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi,in his maiden address at the UN General Assembly,made a passionate appeal to the world forum to declare one day as International Yoga Day. The comity of nations accepted the proposal of the UN Secretary General to declare June 21 as the International Yoga Day. The credit for taking Yoga to the centre stage of the world definitely goes to Narendra Modi.
Intolerant of the global recognition that Narendra Modi gets, Congress Party and some pseudo-secular formations in India are virtually opposing the International Yoga Day. Let them be victims of their own intolerance.
Meanwhile, let us in India join the entire global society to LIVE LIFE TO ITS FULL POTENTIAL.
