International Day of Yoga is celebrated annually on 21st June since its inception in
2015. An international day for yoga was declared unanimously by the United Nations General
Assembly (UNGA). Yoga is a physical, mental and spiritual practice originated in Bharat
or India. The Indian Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi in his UN address suggested the date of
21 June, as it is the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere and shares special
significance in many parts of the world.
The idea of International Day of Yoga was first proposed by the current Prime Minister
of India, Mr. Narendra Modi during his speech at the UNGA on 27th September 2014. He stated
that, “Yoga is an invaluable gift of India's ancient tradition. It embodies 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 you, the world and the nature. By changing our lifestyle and creating consciousness, it can
help in well being. Let us work towards adopting an International Yoga Day”.
