History of International Yoga Day

On September 27th, 2014, the incumbent Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi was attending the annual congregation of the United Nations General Assembly when he insisted upon the global community to acknowledge the importance of Yoga as a precious asset of Indian Civilization and as a blissful practice to improve human health and enrich the human mind with peace. He argued that:
“Yoga is an invaluable gift of India’s ancient tradition. It embodie
s unity of mind and body; thought and action; restraint and fulfillment; harmony between man and nature; a holistic approach to health and well-being. It is not about exercise but to discover the sense of oneness with yourself, the world and nature. By changing our lifestyle and creating consciousness, it can help in well-being. Let us work towards adopting an International Yoga Day.”
