Very good morning to everyone and happy yoga day. Honourable President, respected Principal, respected teachers and all my dear friends, today we have gathered here to celebrate the 6th International Yoga Day. This day is celebrated annually on 21st June since 2015. Our honourable Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi proposed it during the speech at the United Nations General Assembly in 2014.And from the next year means in 2015 United Nations declared 21st June as the International Yoga Day.
Friends, Can you tell why is the date 21st June chosen?
Yes,it is because 21st June is the longest day in the Northern Hemisphere.So the United Nations declared 21st June as the International Yoga Day in order to spread awareness among the people regarding yoga.
What is yoga?
Well,yoga is an ancient physical, mental and spiritual discipline.It originated in India more than 500 years ago.The word yoga came from Sanskrit word yuj that means to yoke, unite or join. Though no one knows the inventor of yoga,still it is generally believed that Sage Patanjali who is the pioneer of yoga wrote Yog Sutras . Beneficial exercise (Asanas),proper breathing (Pranayama), complete relaxation (Savasana),balanced diet and nutrition, positive thinking and meditation are the principles of yoga that are still being followed today.In an ancient age ,Rishis ,Munis,sages and Saints practised yoga and meditation regularly. Swami Vivekananda,Swami Ramkrishna Paramhans , Swami Dayanand Saraswati who practised meditation regularly and reached at the culmination point of spirituality. We can not forget the name of Ramdev Baba who is the present yoga trainer.As we listen or read the word yoga ,the figure of Ramdev Baba comes before our eyes.
Yoga uses asanas(postures) and Pranayam(breathing techniques) to integrate the body with mind and mind with soul .
We all know that the health is wealth. And yoga is a way of living that aims towards a healthy mind is in a healthy body (sound mind is in sound body).Yoga is beneficial to us in many ways.It helps to manage stress and anxiety and keeps us relaxing. In today's fast life,no one is free from stress and anxiety.So yoga , pranayam and meditation are very essential things to keep us healthy and tension free.It improves respiration, blood circulation, energy and vitality. Regular practice of yoga can help to lose weight, release stress , improve immunity, improve concentration and so on.On seeing the benefits of yoga,we should practise it every day without fail.
Our honourable prime minister started the celebration of this day because he wants healthy and self-reliant ( आत्मनिर्भर भारत )India.If we are healthy,our country will prosper because only healthy people can work efficiently for the growth of Indian Economy.
Therefore, we should practise yoga and meditation regularly so that we will be healthy and fit.
Happy Yoga Day.
