Question

write a report on the celebration of World Yoga Day at your town in 100 words

Answer 1

The idea of establishing a special day to celebrate the art of yoga was proposed by Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi. By way of this initiative, the Indian prime minister wanted to bring this unique gift given to us by our ancestors to limelight. He proposed this suggestion during his speech at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in September 2014.  During his UN address he also suggested that the day should be celebrated on the 21st of June since it is the longest day of the year.

The UNGA members mulled over the proposal given by Mr. Modi and soon gave a positive nod to it. 21stJune 2015 was celebrated as the first International Yoga day. A grand event was organized on this day in India. The Indian Prime Minister, Mr. Modi and many other political leaders along with the general public gathered at Rajpath to celebrate the day with enthusiasm.

Several big and small yoga camps were also organized in different parts of the country on this day. People poured in large numbers to be a part of these camps to practice this soulful art. Not just in India, such camps were organized in other parts of the world too and people enthusiastically took part in these. Since then, the International Yoga Day is celebrated with immense zeal every year.

Answer 2

The celebration of “World Yoga Day”:  

The world day of yoga was celebrated in my town on 21st June. In our town, the students shows various asanas followed by ‘Omkar chanting’ and the importance of these was explained simultaneously. It was made aware that the regular ‘practice of yoga’ will surely help our ‘students achieve’ a better life, spiritually, mentally and physically as well. It helps one to remain fit and improve concentration.  

As it was rightly said by our Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi, Yoga is a gift of ‘India’s ancient tradition’ which embodies the ‘unity of mind’ and body, thought and action etc. It is indeed a holistic approach to health and well-being. There lies a special power in yoga and regular practice of yoga not only makes a man complete but also makes his life complete and fruitful.
