UN declares 'World YOGA Day'......

[oFFbEAT]

.........The resolution on 'International Day of Yoga' was introduced by India's ambassador to UN Asoke Mukerji and had 175 nations joining as co-sponsors, the highest number ever for any general assembly resolution.

It is also for the first time that such an initiative has been proposed and implemented by any country in the UN body in less than 90 days.

Through the resolution, adopted under the agenda of 'Global Health and Foreign Policy,' the 193-member general assembly decided to proclaim June 21 every year as the 'International Day of Yoga'.

It recognised that Yoga "provides a holistic approach to health and well-being" and that wider the dissemination of information about benefits of practising Yoga would be beneficial for the health of the world population........
.....................
In suggesting June 21 as the International Day of Yoga, Modi had said that the date, one of the two solstices, is the longest day in the Northern Hemisphere and has special significance in many parts of the world.....

Chalo Modi ne ye to achchha kiya... Otherwise the people had already started creating strange versions of Yoga while claiming it to be an invention of their respective clubs.

Though I still wonder how many people do understand that it is actually religion that is the basis of Yoga they practice

 

[oFFbEAT]

Please don't make it look like a triumph of Hinduism or India.......... those countries that supported the resolution, did so mainly due to the health benefit of YOGA....

Therefore, discuss about your experience with YOGA if any....did you benefit from it?....

Is YOGA practiced in it's true form across the world?........if not, how to make sure what people are practicing in the name of YOGA is actually YOGA, not just some random twisting and turning of arms, legs and body?.......

Should a standard book on YOGA with all the possible 'asanas', their procedures and health benefits be published(which will serve as a guidebook) to stop people from being cheated?....

Big deal! Only a kafir would hate yoga.

yet another proof that uno is run by a bunch of fools... no person became genius by doing yoga, nor is the uno a bunch of geniuses.

this is the same uno that allowed usa to invade iraq multiple times, allowed 35+ militaries of nato to invade libya, has allowed nato to wage proxy war in syria for three years, and in the korea war allowed usa and allies to kill four million north koreans... "united nations" indeed...

the uno should be disbanded at once.

It was not the UN, it's these darned nations whose support led to Yoga's recognition:

Now welcome to the capital of yoga "Rishikesh"....

Triumph of Hinduism and India.

doesn't matter, these numbers... modi should try convincing those countries, specifically usa and britain, to adopt other aspects of "indian culture".

i don't know what basis the indian government sees this as a victory... did this event suddenly provide solutions to world problems??

Who told you yoga helps one to become a genious.

those who do yoga... (1). name one contribution of theirs to the world, (2). if any at all, did it come specifically because of yoga

if either condition not met, then no one should mention yoga ever again, unless in a joke.

this especially funny or ironic to be precise when Pakistanis consider Pakistan to be birthplace of yoga...
