PM Modi had said that ‘Yoga for Humanity’ aptly portrays how it served humanity in mitigating sufferings during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. As our Prime Minister Modi has always believed in the power of Yoga, here are some thoughts that he has shared in the past.
1. Yoga embodies the universal aspiration for health and well-being. This is health assurance on zero budget.
2. Yoga is not only freedom from disease but also freedom from enjoyment. Yoga can be our cultural messenger. We can reach the world through this medium.
3. Yoga is not about what one will get, it is about what one can give up.
4. Yoga is the philosophy of discipline and meditation which transforms the soul and makes a person a better person in thought, action, knowledge and devotion.
5. We are cut off from ourselves in today’s time. Hence yoga helps us to reconnect with ourselves.
6. Yoga embodies the unity of mind and body, thought and action, moderation and fulfillment, harmony between man and nature, and a holistic approach to health and well-being.
7. Yoga guarantees health as well as fitness. It is not just an exercise but a way to achieve peace through physical, mental and spiritual well-being.
8. International Day of Yoga is a reflection of the world’s largest ever knowledge-based people’s movement.
9. Yoga is a code of connecting people with life and connecting mankind with nature. It expands our limited sense of self, to see our families, societies, and human race as an extension of ourselves.
