Yoga means connecting: PM Modi

At the Yoga Day event at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the whole world has gathered today for Yoga, which means to unite. Last year the whole world came together to support India's proposal to celebrate 2023 as the International Year of Millets. Millets are a superfood. They promote overall health and are also good for the environment. He Said it's wonderful to see the whole world come together again for yoga." About nine years ago, it was here at the United Nations that I had the honor of proposing that June 21 be celebrated as the International Day of Yoga.

Yoga free from copyright and patent

The Prime Minister said that Yoga has come from India, but it is free from copyrights, patents and royalty payments. It is medicine for the sick. He said that Yoga is an old tradition of India. Despite this there is no copyright on it. This is for everyone. Like all ancient Indian traditions, this yoga is also alive and dynamic. Yoga is a way of life. It is a way of being careful in thoughts and actions. It is a way of living in harmony with oneself, with others and with nature. After doing yoga at the United Nations Headquarters, PM Modi also met the children.

President of the United Nations General Assembly said that yoga changes us physically

The President of the United Nations General Assembly, Sabah Korosi, said that I have learned that the forces that are in the universe and within us follow the same rule and that is to achieve balance. Yoga changes us physically. I am also proud of my daughter who has been practicing yoga for a long time. I have understood yoga better because of him. Saba Korosi said that yoga transforms our physical performance, but it can awaken different mental and intellectual performance in us. I have been a fan of yoga. Our world needs balance and self-control. Yoga is one of the ways to achieve this.
